I mentioned that I have been catching up on Scandal and as a result have totally fallen for Olivia Pope’s style. It is elegant, feminine and office appropriate.
One thing Olivia Pope has in droves is lust worthy coats. She tends to go with belted or fit and flare styles that emphasize her waist and keep her looking ultra feminine even in the face of crisis.
So here are 10 Olivia Pope style coats:

If you truly want to emulate Olivia Pope’s style stick with pastel or soft colours. Neutrals like grey and camel are a must.
It isn’t just about the waist; a large dramatic collar also fits Olivia Pope’s style. She is also not afraid of something that buttons right up the neck. Somehow she makes it look chic and not like someone afraid of showing her skin.
If you already have an over-sized or boyfriend style coat you can make it more like Olivia Pope’s coats simply by adding a belt to the waist.
The rest of the outfit matters too. Scandal features Olivia in wide leg trousers more than anything else. Pick a structured handbag and an elegant, feminine blouse.
Olivia Pope has worn everything from military style coats, to something over-sized and drapey and looks elegant every step of the way.
