Let’s talk coats! They’re the linchpin of your winter wardrobe. What to look for ? * A coat that’s long. Mid shin. Longer. Knee length? That length is so out it’s about to come back in. (And I’m not joking !) * Oversized. Go up a size. I always do. An inexpensive coat always looks alot chicer & more expensive if it’s a generous cut. * It can be single breasted or double breasted: just make sure it up covers ‘the situation’. Meaning ? Make sure it sits across your front even when it’s UNDONE. Because that is how you’re going to wear it (who wears a coat done up except in London mid winter ?) * Look for a coat in a versatile FiFi approved colour. You know what that means : Camel, navy, grey, brown, white , khaki , furry, suede or even leather. * Walk past black. It’s not going to give you vava voom, bang for your buck. * why ? Black can be so hard to style, have to try really hard with a black coat, it has to be VERY exaggerated to look cool. * Everybody keep calm! If you DO have a long black winter coat (and I have a few!) then keep wearing them. Just don’t buy a new one. * Surround a black coat with tan, white and camel. Fabulous boots. Cream knits. Light wash denim. Instant chic. Default to white under there. * Remember big shoulders are happening. This is so great in a coat. Makes a statement. Looks edgy. Gives shape and drama. A more tailored coat is looking new but it’s still got to be BIG and LONG. And a cape is ALWAYS fabulous. Swipez vous for all the ways I’ve been wearing my favorite coats this season . Some are a few seasons old but I’ll add similar ones right here ! LTKaustralia LTKwinter LTKstyletip
