I am not going to lie. In the past, I have allowed the winter to cramp my style. I rock a million colors and patterns in the summer then by the time winter rolls around, it’s #black&grayalltheway!
This year I am determined to not let that happen. I am staying on team #coloralltheway! So, in the spirit of that, I thought I would show you how to style a black and white patterned coat with color!
My black and white buffalo jacket was a recent purchase but these rules can work for any patterned coat!
Option 1: Solids
I know you are probably thinking to yourself, “Duh you can wear solids with patterns, Tilley.” But hear me out! Because I am talking about rocking a solid sweater that matches my solid bag, the look really works! Coordinating these two pieces can pull any outfit together (any time of year)!
Option #2: Mix a Different Pattern In
I am all about the jacquard pattern this year. I feel like it says “I ski all the time, NBD.” I actually hate skiing but that’s a story for another day. The pattern became my fav because of its many colors! I tied it in with a beanie to keep warm and matching bag like before.
No lack of color here y’all.
Option #3: Add the Same Pattern
Buffalo on buffalo?! Yes, ma’am. The coordinating patterns are just enough of a clash to make a masterpiece! Plus, buffalo check is so in right now that you’d have to try hard not to see it in any given department store. I’d really love the coat with this buffalo scarf too!
So, will you join me in my pledge to add color to the winter? I’d love to see how you do it! Shoot me your pic on Instagram or leave a link below!
I love how you look in all the pictures. You look so warm and fashionable. Great!
XOXO

love that coat, it’s a neutral but also a statement piece because of the pattern! also can we please discuss the quality of these images… damn you have a good lens haha love them! x
Styling vibrant colors and busy patterns together can be tricky! I like how you chose a simple mint green as the accent color with that coat!
Oh hi cutie! You are such a doll and look adorable in all these looks!
