Casual look
First of all, for weekends and laid back days, go back to basics and throw it over a pair of mums ́jeans and a white T-shirt, the best go-to combo of that time.
You can also play with the color of the jeans and T-shirt (or turtleneck) and opt for an all-black look à la Princess Diana, who made sure the outfit accent stayed in the red coat. For one color look, swap the bottoms for sporty drawstring pants and go all-white like Kim Kardashian.
If you don’t fear the cold, wear a cropped top paired with camouflage trousers and suddenly you will resemble Gwen Stefani.
Smart look
Secondly, for more formal situations wear it on top of a slip dress and add an under layered long sleeve just like Alexa Chung, or without if you are in party mode. The right shoe match is a quick fix depending on the occasion, one could be Dr. Martens, another could be classy high heels.
