one coat, two ways

You guys have probably all seen this coat by now. You know the one - the oversized, drapey, perfect camel coat I've been posting all over Instagram for the past few weeks? Well that coat, a recent pickup by Stella McCartney via Saks Fifth Avenue, just happens to be my new favorite, and I don't feel at all guilty for showing it off. The fit is impeccable, the color is the perfect balance for a camel - not too pink, not too brown - and it's one of the softest coats I've ever worn. To be honest this coat was made for me, and it was my random dumb luck to have stumbled upon it, ON SALE no less, at Saks this past month.

I've been trying to find as many ways to style the piece as I can. Not because it's difficult to do, but because I keep wearing it so often that I basically have to mix the rest of my outfit so I don't look like an outfit repeater!

I thought it would be interesting to try the coat in two ways: one, a classic, streamlined look, and two, a more sporty streetwear-inspired style. Below, I show two ways I've been wearing this coat lately, and truthfully I can't decide which style I prefer.

What do you think - classic, or streetstyle? Let me know in the comments!
