If you’re on a mission to stand out in the crowd, a metallic jacket is exactly what you’ll need to do so. Go for a sleek Chanel-approved trench coat paired with polished black knee-high boots. If you really want to make a statement, choose a style with a bright color in it, like Balmain’s orange quilted edition. And, for frigid winter days, a metallic coat with a shearling interior (such as the one shown at Courrèges) will keep you equal parts toasty and trendy.
