You can find it online at Revolve. We suggest pairing it with your casual chic fall outfits.
9. High-End Teddy Bear Coat

Teddy Bear Coats: The Most Coveted Styles
Worn by almost any rock star during the Sixties and Seventies (they were one of Mick Jagger’s favorites), teddy bear coats can be quite versatile. The classic teddy coat style features a dark-brown color (like a bear’s fur), and a cocoon-like fit, which makes any coat look utterly cozy and warm, indeed.
This style was surely one of the most coveted during the Mod culture era of the Sixties, but got slowly revamped through more modern lenses during the Eighties, the early Nineties and, ultimately, the 2010s.
While during the Eighties and the Nineties the most acclaimed teddy bear coats involved neon hues and even more oversized structures (just think about any winter-approved Samantha Jones outfit in Sex and the City), our beloved modern teddy bear coat is classier in its colors and slightly less structured, as it favors softer lines over rigorous ones.
It is, however, equally eclectic, as the most coveted teddy bear coats quite often feature color-block motifs, mustard yellow and fire red finishes, and, of course, both mini and midi lengths, which really help enhance any silhouette while, at the same time, allowing a plethora of outfit combinations.
How to Wear a Teddy Bear Coat: Teddy Coats Style Inspiration
The main fashion rule for wearing teddy coats right is to keep your look as understated and minimalist as possible, especially if you have picked a bold, oversized teddy bear coat. Other than that, you can always dare to create more statement-making looks, embracing your bright personality and throwing on a teddy coat over any outfit, from the hip casual ones to the most elegant cocktail looks – you’ll never fail!
Three are the main outfit options when it comes to styling teddy bear coats, and they all celebrate any woman’s unique personality, for sure.
The first style option is the best one for anyone who’s always on the go and needs something to channel all day long, from the office to the restaurant, as it includes a (preferably light/ dark brown or black) teddy bear coat layered with simple separates, such as a knit sweater, a pair of skinny jeans, and cute ankle boots (which you can change with a pair of pumps if the restaurant is particularly fancy).
The second style option could be described as a revisited Samantha Jones 3.0, and features a colored teddy coat (whether it is red, yellow, green or purple it doesn’t matter, you do you), combined with a black, high-waisted miniskirt, a slip top and an oversized cardigan, to throw away as soon as you get into the club. For an extra dose of edginess, you can pair your teddy bear coat with a statement sequined dress or miniskirt – we bet Samantha Jones would approve!
The third iconic outfit inspiration involving teddy coats comes directly from the Seventies, and suggests pairing a camel-beige sweater (better if turtleneck) with a pair of bell-bottom trousers or jeans, and a pair of brown Oxford shoes or boots, depending on the weather.
If you are still unsure about getting yourself a teddy bear coat or not, just remember that it received Mick Jagger’s seal of approval!
