The pinnacle of winter fashion is the coat. Especially in the winter of 2025, the fashion industry's key focus is on 'Minimal Classic,' representing restrained elegance, and the color 'Dark Grey,' which is deeper than black. The coat look recently showcased by actress Choi Ji-woo embodies these trends perfectly.

1. The meeting of 2025's main color 'Dark Grey' and maxi silhouette

Choi Ji-woo chose a long coat in Dark Grey, the hottest color of this season. Softer yet more urbane than black, this color is at the center of the classic outerwear market this winter.

Styling Point: By opting for a cozy oversized silhouette that wraps around the body and a maxi length that reaches the ankles, she created a dramatic aura without any embellishments.

Minimalism: Focusing on the texture and silhouette of the coat rather than flashy details aligns with this season's trend of 'Quiet Luxury.'

2. Perfect harmony of tone-on-tone match and classic bag

It's not just about the coat. Choi Ji-woo enhanced the overall look by utilizing accessories.

Black & Grey Harmony: She matched a black tote bag with the coat color to provide a sense of balance. The bag she chose, with its timeless classic shape, is a key item that adds sophistication to the minimal coat look.

The Power of Boots: The black long boots peeking out from under the coat hem not only provide warmth but also elongate and slim the overall silhouette.

Editor’s Tip: Want to dress like Choi Ji-woo?

If you're planning to get a new coat this winter, consider dark grey or melange grey instead of black. Choose a long length that goes well past the knees like Choi Ji-woo, and just add black boots and a tote bag to turn your everyday life into a photo shoot.
