Having worked hard to grow her namesake brand since 2008, it's safe to say that Victoria Beckham understands the anatomy of a great buy better than most. With a well-honed eye for a sleek silhouette and a preference for a well-tailored item with a slightly dramatic flare, Beckham's daily style rotation is one that I pay attention to the most.
In need of reviving my wardrobe with some new-season love, naturally, I went straight to Beckham for some winter styling inspiration, and it looks like I arrived just in time. Stepping out this week in a roomy winter coat, Beckham styled the specific coat trend that can make any outfit look expensive in an instant.
Forgoing the fluffy coats that have Influencers buzzing, Beckham emerged this week in an ultra-elegant Wool-Blend Trench Coat (£1980) with a funnel-neck design from her own label. Concealing the bottom half of her face, Beckham's incognito outfit shielded her from the elements and provided a point of interest.
Seeping into shopfronts this season, the funnel neck is a small design detail that brands have embraced after a series of winters where this has not been in favour. Offering an alternative—and I would argue, equally cosy—option to the scarf coats that have dominated retailers so far this autumn/winter, funnel neck coats feature a sleeker design that sits closely to the skin, offering extra insulation and an ultra-elegant finish. Whilst Beckham's coat comes in at close to £2000, the high-neck design has an expensive-looking energy that can transcend price tags—and I've already spotted a whole host of options at high street labels to prove it.
Naturally, it wouldn't be a Beckham outfit without a puddle pants pairing, and this look was no different. Opting for a bright white pair that softly grazed the floor, Beckham added volume to her outfit without having to reach for extra fabric and layers.
