The easiest way to fake the image of wealth — or as I like to say, fake it until you become it — is with a well-tailored coat. Jennifer Lopez just put her own spin on the ritzy coat design. The singer stepped out in an angular, statuesque version, and I found a replica on Amazon for $59!
J. Lo’s stunning coat reminds me of a cross between a high-end poncho and a standard peacoat with exaggerated lapels and waist-accentuating belt. The Amazon version features the same, but in a much more wearable color than her milky beige hue. In khaki, this coat looks even more luxe and is actually more versatile — plus, it’s less likely to get dirty.
With temperatures dropping and the leaves about to change, you’ll want to have this coat at the ready. During the chillier months, your outerwear is the first thing people notice about you, and with this pick, you’ll exude an air of sophistication.
We wouldn’t go as far as to call it a winter coat, but shoppers have lauded its warmth. “I’m from Alaska and now live in Pennsylvania, where we’ve had a colder winter than the past few but nowhere near what I’m used to. That being said, this jacket is pretty warm,” one reviewer wrote. “It doesn’t have a thick lining, but it’s made of a decently heavy material. I’ve worn it most days in December and it still looks brand new.”
Beyond the warmth, the same shopper can’t get over the quality of the coat. “It feels expensive without being expensive. I was hesitant to spend this much on a coat (this amount is a lot for me), but I don’t regret it. It’s paid for itself by now. I feel like a rich, NYC business woman in this jacket.”
One thing’s for sure: With this belted coat, you’ll channel J. Lo’s confidence and the class of an Upper East Sider. And what’s better than that?
