What I’m Wearing
As the weather gets a little crisper, you suddenly realize that today just may be cold enough to pull out your dusty winter coats. You stare disappointedly at the array of jackets hoping they may have gained a little luster after not seeing them for a year now. We begrudgingly choose one, dust off the lint, and go on our merry way telling ourselves we NEED to pick up a new one this season. As the weeks and months go on, we push it to the back of our to do list and before we know it, the time is almost approaching to put it back into storage, so why even bother?!
I realize that this may not be the case for everyone. My New Yorkers have probably let out a sarcastic laugh already as they know winter consists of their normal weather forecast. When it came to choosing my outerwear in years past, I would either go for “trendy and bold” or “boring and practical.” But as the years went on, I found myself in the same dilemma each year. The bold and trendy went outdated, but the boring and basic was just that. And hence, I would proceed to repeat the cycle and never really LOVED my winter coat.
For some reason, many of us put fashion in just two categories: practical or trendy. The trendy dressers blame the practical for being too “boring.” And the practical think the trendy dressers to be frivolous. But the truth is we CAN achieve both a timeless and modern wardrobe that can fit the landscape of our daily lives.
As for finding that perfect coat this winter season, the key is to look for timeless silhouettes with modern details. A trench style peacoat is one that we know will stand the test of time, but button detailing, tie waists, and collars can make or break a design. These simple details can take a coat from “basic” to “chic” in an instant. A beige wool peacoat is a color and style that will hang in your closet for years. Wool will keep you extra warm while still remaining sophisticated and styled.
*Pro Tip: Make your old wool trench look fresh and new by taking it to a tailor and switching out the button details to new styles and having the tailor take it in to fit your current body shape.
