Julia Roberts, Taylor Swift, and Others Are Convincing Us to Ditch Monochrome Coats for This Patterned Alternative

Winter clothes are a lot like your smile: you need a little more to make it shine. While you might use toothpaste on your pearly whites, a striking statement coat will polish up even the dullest look. And this year, bird’s-tooth coats are filling the wardrobes of celebrity after celebrity.

We recently spotted Julia Roberts in calf-length Wolk Morais (the same brand as her cape jacket) in her stylist’s Instagram post, and Kate Hudson also donned the timeless pattern back in September.

Moving away from black and white, Taylor Swift wore a bird’s-tooth Vince coat last fall with her LBD, while Kate Middleton opted for a red version in 2018 and again last year. And in 2022, Jennifer Lopez wore a green bird’s tooth pattern during the holiday season. In a nutshell, houndstooth coats have been around for a while now and it doesn’t look like they’re going anywhere.

Buy at Shopcider.com $68

Cider sells this double-breasted coat that has a brown and khaki pattern, which differs from Roberts and Hudson, but is still neutral like Swift’s and can go with all kinds of outfits. It also comes with a belt, so you can accentuate your waist and be extra snug on cold days, or keep it open to reveal the rest of your outfit. It costs just $68, although one customer said, “It looks expensive, like a $500 designer coat.”

Even if you live somewhere warm, you can still incorporate the pattern into your wardrobe – we’ve also found lightweight cardigans and cardigans with ribbed knits. Follow Roberts, Swift and other stars and keep scrolling to shop the timeless print now.
