Boyfriend coats are my favourite transitional coat, for either wearing dressed up or dressed down. Not too thin and not too thick, they are the perfect outerwear for layering come Autumn, Winter and whether we are experiencing an Indian Summer or a cold snap. I LOVE this grey leopard print boyfriend coat from Dorothy Perkins and they have an amazing range of new coat styles for Autumn, which you can shop here.
“I love styling boyfriend coats for Autumn, as they are the perfect transitional coat style that offers either a smart or casual vibe.”
These shots were taken for the Dorothy Perkin’s coat guide, which you can see in full here. I chose to style my boyfriend coat with this comfy roll neck top and the season must have a-line skirt in black denim. To ‘dress down’ this look I then paired with my Converse High Tops, but for a more formal look I would pair with a killer pair of over the knee boots, preferably in grey suede, like this pair under £50 here.
Have you got a favourite coat style for Autumn? If so, I would love to know in the comments below and as always, thanks for reading. I have also linked what I am wearing for you to click on to shop or for more information.
Why are they called boyfriend coats?? Is there a reason? Am I slightly out of touch with reality!!

I think originally as they were oversized – but now oversized coats seem the norm so maybe they need an update in name too! xx
