Dear Bronny, I am looking for a winter coat: long-sleeved, about knee length and in an unusual colour (not black, grey or red, but not fluorescent LOOK AT ME either) that won't break the bank. Know anywhere I should try? Got any tips for winter coat buying? ta!
First of all, love your hotmail name – it rocks! Now on for the coat buying. In fact tweeds are going to be very hot this Winter if judging from the Winter just gone in the Northern Hemisphere. Another hot color will be white, you may also consider Green or Mustard which look fabulous and don’t date. My tips for buying the coat would be to: 1. Assess what is in your wardrobe Places to shop online for a great coat include: · eBay – you can search specific and possibly find what you want for half price Here’s some hot options I have found for you: Here’s a Tweed coat, to give you first an idea of cut, fabric and style, this ones on eBay. Now with this in mind, you can think about color, you mention you’re not keen on black, grey or red, how about the brown color family which includes beiges and patterned fabrics such as tweeds etc. Here’s a brown vintage with fake fur trim. I mentioned white above, here’s a gorgeous white trench which would look super fab with black underneath: A pink option here in a houndstooth pattern: Also, keep in mind that the best thing about considering shopping online for a coat is that you can take advantage of all the winter sales now on and get the new seasons look for half the price! Here’s another great jacket, this time from TopShop, it has a check again but this time with blue as the color of interest – very Scottish: Now, I know you don’t want to break the back, but I just want to show you this divine satin green Dolce and Gabbana coat I found for inspiration. It’s not red, black or grey! Not too bright or fluorescent, but it is simply divine, a classic that will never fade – I don’t know about you – but I want it! - it is by Dolce & Gabbana: Stunning!! Here’s another green option, not quite the same, however still lovely: Remember, assess what you already have in your wardrobe, what will be a good investment to add to your look and feel and then think about what you will be wearing this Winter. Happy shopping! Love |
