It doesn’t take an expert to see that fashion remains obsessed with all things Y2K (low-rise waistbands and circle belts and butterflies, oh my!), but Noughties naysayers can breathe a sigh of relief, because one of the minimalist’s most beloved trends is going nowhere for 2023.
The best ambassador for the cocooning appeal of an XXL silhouette? Hailey Bieber, who has staked her claim on the trend this winter—particularly when it comes to coats. From Saint Laurent’s strong-shouldered, floor-sweeping tweed style to Khaite’s roomy leather trench, the A-lister uses statement outerwear to put the wow into weekend-casual.
The beauty of a roomy coat is that it can be layered over all your winter staples. Chunky knits? No problem. Boxy blazers? Easy. Take cues from Hailey and use an oversized coat to add polish to more casual pieces, be they baggy jeans and lug-sole boots, or even tracksuit bottoms and sneakers.
While Bieber clearly prefers neutral tones, such as brown, beige, and black—always a win for versatility—if you’re looking to make a bigger statement, there are plenty of colorful alternatives out there. If you’re on a budget, why not hunt down an oversized wool coat from your local thrift shop? Don’t forget to check the men’s options too when on the search for a high-quality pre-loved piece.
The main takeaway? Go big or go home. Scroll down to see and shop Hailey’s best XXL outerwear moments from this winter.
Hailey opted for a classic Saint Laurent wool coat in chocolate brown for this cosy look. She styled it with bleached, straight-leg jeans and a black turtleneck.
