As most of you are eagerly anticipating warmer weather, there’s still a bit more of winter left to get through. However, with the help of a great coat, you should be set for walking out in the chilly air from class to class. I spotted this Fashionista on campus wearing a fantastic camel-coloured coat, paired with a pair of burnt orange tights and a warm black sweater. I love how her outfit is minimal, cool and effortlessly sophisticated.

How To: To create this chic and comfy outfit, start off by pairing a simple black top with a long beige coat. Take a break from your typical black leggings and try a different colour, such as burnt orange, like this Fashionista’s pair, or maroon. Keep your accessories simply black–from a warm toque to leather gloves to a pair of casual boots. Finish up with a stylish and functional tote bag for carrying around your campus necessities.
