LUXE TO LESS
You’re probably thinking a textured coat is a ridiculously impractical winter coat investment, but it’s just not true.
A brightly coloured, textured or fluffy jacket is just what you need in your wardrobe rotation during the chilly months, because you can throw it on top of the most basic outfit and instantly become A Fashion Person.
Yes, a timeless trench coat is always going to “go” with everything and will never go out of style, but you’re better than that. You know you can pull this off.
If you want the full-on luxe experience, nothing compares to real shearling lamb, but faux fur or “teddybear” will do the trick. Imagine how snuggly you’ll feel slipping it on. Me? I’ll be wearing mine over my pyjamas like Carrie Bradshaw on New Year’s Eve.
Prepare yourself though. Friends, colleagues and people in line behind you at the coffee shop won’t be able to stop themselves from stroking your sleeves and whispering “so soft”. Sinead Corcoran
