In winter, finding that right balance of practicality and style can be a serious challenge. But at Fall 2018 shows by labels designed by women for women—such as Tibi, Victoria Beckham, and Chloé—the fashion memo was that long coats and equally long dresses can be worn together, and in a way that’s super modern and youthful, too.
Spotted this weekend in London, Angelina Jolie cemented that message by wearing a long, black below-the-knee trench coat with the belt cinched at the waist for a more defined shape. The actress paired it with an elegant white dress that had a strategic slit, as well as a plunging V-neck silhouette that was worn with a pretty lace trim underlay. It made for an ensemble that was unquestionably chic—but not too demure, either. Meanwhile, pointed metallic pumps meant she could easily transition the outfit into evening.
