With the weather getting nippy, I think its the prefect time to get those cosy blankets out. What’s best? This season you can actually wear yours. Ever since I saw Cara Delevinge strut her folklore inspired blanket coat from Burberry, I’ve been hooked. But the Burberry’s prize tag gave me a chill. My high-street version is just as awesome. The blanket coat/wrap is the kimono of autumn-winter. The loose silhouette of the garment does a great job of wrapping and protecting your body whilst keeping you fashionably cool.
I love the versatility of this garment: It can be belted to give some form or worn like a long cardigan or simply like a big scarf.
I have paired my plaid style blanket coat with a simple black T-shirt and leggings. I have added a berry colored tote as berry/ burgundy is my favourite autumn colour. It also co-ordinates with the coat. I have used simple silver accessories to compliment the look as I wanted to keep the attention on my blanket coat–the “It” coat for this autumn.
Blanket coat/wrap: New look, T-shirt: M&S, Leggings: Next, Peep toe wedges: F&F old, Accessories: India/Dubai, Watch: Hubby’s.

Hi Dan! Love the chic coat! It reminds me of the Burberry one Cara Delevingne wore during Fashion Week 🙂 – Lena
Thanks Lena. I brought this coat as I thought the colour scheme was similar to Burberry’s 🙂
I’ve seen most of my style icons (Cara Delevingne, Olivia Palermo, Sarah Jessica Parker) wearing this trend – you styled yours well! http://hideorgochic.wordpress.com
Thanks Elle 🙂
