This coat arrives as part of the brand's Fall/Winter collection but deviates from the other offerings due to its minimalist appearance. The [oversized coat](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/scarf-coat) features a simple black colorway that's stamped with a small logo on the chest as well as one white stripe. The designer brand selected a more retro-looking logo for this jacket, which elicits a sense of nostalgia from the wearer as its reminiscent of windbreakers that were popular during the 80s.
