Hi, I'm Rose Tran, and I'm a fashion stylist. Overcoats traditionally drift past the knees, and are made from heavy material. Its bulky nature can be tricky to pull of without looking bigger than you are. However, if done correctly, you can be the ultimate fashionista. Here are a few things to keep in mind. If it's cold enough to wear a coat, then it's cold enough to wear gloves, which is why these two go hand in hand. Lydia is wearing a vintage overcoat with leather gloves, which will keep her warm in cold weather. I've added a scarf to keep her outfit cohesive. Another thing to keep in mind is that it's difficult for shorter women to pull this off, due to their lack of length. Therefore, I would suggest wearing your highest heels to finish it off.
