When hunting for coats, I'm often nagged by a voice in my mind telling me to 'do brights' or 'go fitted' (pretty sure it's Ms. Generic Fashion Writer talking for that particular phraseology to be heralded). This voice and I, we aren't very good friends. I have a list, you see, and coats must oblige me of at least 2 of the following if they are to win a place in my wardrobe:
Boxy
Long
Looks as though it should be worn by a man
Tweed
Reminiscent of a potato sack
Long
Slim fitting sleeves
A degree of ugly
Trenchy
Long
I've compiled a list of bodysheaths that the voice particularly hated and I particularly loved (clickable links):
1. ASOS Premium Car Coat
2. ASOS Premium Coat with Leather Sleeves
3. Malene Birger Campaign Oversized Cotton Trench
4. Vanessa Bruno Bordeaux Multicolour Wool Coat
5. Burberry Leather Sleeved Cotton-Gabardine Trench
6. Topshop Leather Collar Wool Boyfriend Coat

ReplyDeletei love number 6 <3
ReplyDeleteI love these coats, especially the Burberry. I'm always one to opt for more 'frumpy' outwear but I can't resist. I saw this one in American Apparel yesterday actually which you might like

I can't resist a boyfriend/car coat. The Asos and Topshop ones are honestly my idea of perfection within coats. If the Asos car coat had leather detailing it would be my dream coat!
