Once is happenstance. Twice is a coincidence and three times? Well, that's a trend.
Making sure every fashion lover and their equally well-dressed dog knows about the ‘coat with nothing underneath’ aesthetic is Swedish model and trend pioneer, Elsa Hosk.
In her most recent stylised combination of Instagram images, which she shared on Tuesday night, the 5'9 blonde beauty decided to go full femme fatale in a vibrant leopard print option.

The coat was wrapped around her body to create a dress-like silhouette while the lapels made the perfect plunging V-neckline to show off her clavicle.

To complete the Mob-Wife-meets-Office-Siren look, the 36-year-old mother-of-one scooped her blonde locks into a slicked-back bun with a sharp middle parting.

Not long after Elsa posted her sultry-chic trench look, Hailey Bieber was quick to take note, subsequently sharing images of herself adopting the aesthetic in a brown fluffy coat and sleek bun on her Instagram.
There's no question that Elsa’s favourite way to style a coat is by going bare underneath, and who can blame her when it looks that good?
If you’re thinking of giving the It-girl aesthetic a go for yourself, might we suggest you wait a few weeks and choose a day when the temperature resides in double digits?
