Do you have a great winter topper? It has been at least twenty years since I purchased a nice full-length winter coat.
Our East Tennessee weather is not often harsh, so I don't need to dress for sub-zero temperatures.
A stroller or some other type of jacket over layers is my usual cold-weather look. While that works most of the time, it can be rather casual.
I have been doing research for a few months to make a wise decision about this purchase.
I didn't want a bulky coat that would visually add pounds to my frame. I looked for a sleek style without a large collar, belt, memorable buttons, or other details that might date it and me. While I love black, I wanted this coat to be another color. Having one that can be dressed up or down and worn with scarves was also a priority. This coat could also be belted if I ever magically acquire a waistline.
The rest of my look includes a black vest and knit turtleneck top by Fabrizio Gianni. The reptile embossed black leggings are labeled "Jack," and I found them in a small boutique on Hilton Head Island last year. The boots are Saks Black Label from Saks Off 5th. The bag is also via Saks Off 5th. The hat and scarf are both old from T.J. Maxx.
I am confident that I can wear this coat for several years, with any type or color of attire, and to any event. It is by Cinzia Rocca via Saks Off 5th.
