When it comes to bright coats, Creative Fashion will never fall short of inspiring you how to wear one. Case in point, the fun ways to wear a bright colored coat to the street. But for spring, let us take a look at the ways five fashion bloggers are sporting a vibrant topper.
There are three elements in styling a colored coat – first, the color is already bold, to make the most of it, pair it with dark colors. Second, if you want to tone down the boldness of your coat, pair it with equally bold pieces especially for under layering + shoes. Third, if you plan to dress it down, go comfy by layering it with casual pieces.
1. Hot Pink Coat with Navy Blue

I really love the way a bright pink coat float out against the dark. The wearer also did a smart move by creating a dark tonal under layer, from her blouse down to her pants and shoes, which made her look even taller. This is a perfect example of how to make the bright coat do the talking for you.

2. Power Red Coat with Houndstooth

A houndstooth print dress is already bold, but by throwing over it a bold red coat, the bold statement is being neutralized, which is a good thing. By keeping everything other than the coat neutral in black, you create a totally classy look.
3. Bright Yellow Coat with Tartan Plaid

For a casual outdoor stroll, try teaming a banana yellow coat with a thick tartan scarf, some denim under layer, and comfy sneakers.

4. Bright Red Coat with High Waist Skinnies

Here´s a good example of the principle of contrast well played. The wearer wore a super skinny high waist pants (dig for an acid wash if you can) and contrasted it with a power red oversized coat. Her white top is also strategic because it made her coat radiate. Of course, high heels are a must.
5. Bright Yellow Coat with Joggers

A quick way to inject color to your jogger get-up is by throwing over a bright coat. As you can see on the wearer, she teams her gray joggers with blue crop top and blue pumps, and then wore a yellow unbuttoned coat on top.
