I Was Going to Buy a Brown Coat, But Then I Saw This Pretty, It Girl–Approved Color Trend and Changed My Mind

By this point, there's been exhaustive coverage of fall and winter's chocolate-brown trend, which we've certainly contributed to here at Who What Wear. It's a great color, so I get it and will continue to write about and wear it. In fact, I had my sights set on a chocolate-brown wool coat, but I've come to realize that my chocolate-brown clothing collection is becoming excessive. Perhaps I should add a different coat color to my winter wardrobe. An outfit Jennifer Lawrence wore this week pretty much solidified that that's exactly what I should do.

The coat Lawrence opted for was a pale-yellow wool one by The Row. Earlier this year, pale yellow (no offense to butter yellow, but I refuse to refer to it as butter yellow anymore) was inescapable. Now that some time has passed, Lawrence has inspired me to wear it again. It also feels fresher and less obvious in the winter than it did in the summer. She paired it with a multicolored scarf, baggy navy pants, a leopard-print bag, and oversize Dior sunglasses. As you can see, this particular coat color pairs well with every other color on the wheel.
