How to style the Car Coat
Theory calls the colour Black Multi, but from a few steps away the coat reads as soft grey: a fine black-and-white houndstooth in wool. That pattern does the work, so everything under it stays plain. Here the coat is worn open over Vince's Weekend V-neck in heather-white cashmere. The V-neck leaves the collar of the coat room to sit flat, and the pale knit lifts the grey at the face.
Black trousers keep the line long and quiet: Vince's Trouser Pant, a straight, simple shape. The colour comes in at the ends of the look. Stuart Weitzman's Vera is a heeled loafer on a block heel, in crinkled boysenberry patent. The A.L.C. Simone in Ganache is soft and slouchy, with tonal studs. Berry and chocolate are both deep, muted shades, so they sit together without competing with the houndstooth.
To take the idea further, the same open-coat proportion appears in The Camel Edit, with a camel trench over ivory and optic white. For black cropped trousers under a dark brown knit, see The Norman Edit. And for a longer layer over tailoring, see The Navy & Blush Edit.
