The Surprising "It" Coat of the Season

Pink coats hit the fall runways of Miu Miu, Carven, and Celine earlier this year.

Buying a new coat is exciting, but while rifling through racks of black moto jackets, army green parkas, and gray tweed coats, you will stumble upon an unforeseen shade: pink. Designers like Christian Dior, Celine, Simone Rocha, Chanel, Carven, and Miu Miu sent fall pink coats down the catwalk six months ago, but we never thought it would catch on with the masses. Surely enough, the rosy hue is popping up on blazers, quilted jackets, anoraks, and perhaps best of all, menswear-inspired overcoats. The sweetest styles are a pale pink neutral enough to go with nearly everything you already own and happy enough to get you pumped for cold weather. And for those who have always loved pink, get ready to make some tough purchasing decisions. By Joanna Douglas, Yahoo Shine Senior Fashion and Beauty Editor
