21 Stunningly Embroidered Jackets That Make My Plain Outerwear Look Bad

      As we approach winter, it's easy to want to stock up on black, brown, and gray coats and be done with it. That's certainly what I tend to do. After all, once you add scarves, gloves, and hats, you might end up with five different colors just in your outerwear, and I find it hard to manage that. Hear me out: Outerwear can be, and should be, fun if you choose for it to be. Fashion experts, including Natalia Vodianova, are sporting beautiful embroidered jackets and coats this season, and that's certainly a way to introduce some brightness into our days. There are numerous black and white options that pair effortlessly with anything, but there are also numerous amazing colorful coats that, in my mind, resemble those described in the Dolly Parton song. I've curated a selection for you.
