I promised you a DIY version of a statement, coat or jacket so here goes… there are so many beautiful coats on the market at the moment but some of their prices are just crazy high and I love a bit of preloved and DIY. No worries if you can’t sew, these are very easy to do and don’t require any stitching!
A
Mongolian wool scarf is such a great addition to any jacket or coat to turn it into something really special. Although it does look great with a black blazer or coat, I absolutely love it with something a bit more special. I have a tiger print coat that I wear my black Mongolian scarf with, and it looks fabulous. But even a full tonal look eg a brown coat or even a brown suede jacket look great with the brown Mongolian scarf. The Pink Mongolian definitely makes a statement and I love it against a contrasting colour jacket.
There are loads of inexpensive preloved statement coats around. I am a big vinted fan and just got this floral tapestry coat for £10! How good does it look with the Mongolian wool scarf? On vinted you’re going to want to use search terms like 'tapestry coats', 'statements coats', 'brocade coats'.
The
Faux fur collar in Brown looks great over this Floral Tapestry coat that I picked up on Vinted for £10! I also love this coat with the pink or brown mongolian. There are some
Faux Mongolian scarves just arrived if you are after a more budget friendly version. In dark brown or beige at £28.
New in are these Faux Fur Coat Collars in light brown or Black. the feature a hook and eye closure and can be easily added to any coat or jacket to make a statement coat. Below with a leopard print coat in the light brown.
and here I have added the black collar to a Velvet Embroidered Kimono.
I wore my mum’s oriental embroidered jacket for dinner a few weeks ago and added the ribbon tied fur collar. These are giving Prada of vibes at a fraction of the price. I won’t tell you what their fur collar costs, but you won’t need to take out a loan with mine!! Again there are loads of oriental jackets on vinted for an absolute steal so you can create this look for yourself at home.
Hope this gives you some inspo and apart from my mums vintage jacket ALL of these coats and jackets were bought preloved.
