OUTFIT: a perfect coat

I am personally not a fan of winter wear – I think it is super hard to dress nice, because with temperatures around the freezing point, the only thing on my mind is keeping warm. However, every once in a while, I come across a piece of clothing that really makes me appreciate the cold weather! This was the case with this coat by French Connection, which I found on GIRISSIMA. It is absolut perfection in my eyes. Not only is it a gorgeous off-white (which is such a nice change to all the black winter jackets I have), but it also has amazing details that make it a special piece: the material mix, amazing cut & the off-centered zipper! With a jacket or coat like that, you don’t really need anything else. I went for all black, which makes the beautiful coat stand out even more, including the super adorable Carpena Elda cross body bag. I wore the bag twice already last weekend for going out – it is the perfect companion for a bit of dancing, trust me.

    In all honesty, I am not particularly fond of the color red. It simply has never appealed to me, and I don’t see myself as someone who pulls it off well. However, when I spotted this dress, it somehow hit a nerve – in a very positive way. I decided to take a chance on…

  1. Finde deinen Mantel auch schön, es ist wirklich ein bisschen schade, dass in der dunklen Jahreszeit irgendwie auch alle Klamotten dunkel werden… Ich habe schon letztes Jahr einen hellen Mantel gesucht (mir schwebte beige oder camel vor), war aber leider noch nicht erfolgreich.
    Die Ohrringe machen sich übrigens auch sehr gut zu dem schlichten Outfit!

  2. Hi Vicky,

    darf ich fragen welche Größe du dir gekauft hast? Finde ich nämlich gerade bei Winterjacken und Mänteln super schwierig! Schließlich möchte man ja hin und wieder mal einen kuscheligen Pulli darunter tragen können ohne an ein Michelin-Männchen zu erinnern. Und gleichzeitig sollte die Jacke oder der Mantel auch ohne Pulli gut sitzen.

    Liebste Grüße

    1. Hi Elisabeth,

      das ist 36, heute hatte ich einen dünnen Pulli drunter & das war perfekt! Ein bissi mehr Platz für einen dickeren Pulli wäre sicher auch noch gewesen 🙂 Hoffe das hilft!

  3. Wie schön du und der Mantel aussehen.
    Ich bin ja eh ein Fan von hellen Winterjacken, draußen ist ja sonst eh alles schon neblig und grau genug. 🙂
    Liebe Grüße aus dem Norden, Lali

  4. This is one of my biggest struggles too – looking stylish yet keeping warm in the winter… especially when planning my holidays! I want to look good in photos but not look like a blob of black with my coat, hat, mittens, etc.
    But I love that coat! I am really into the collarless coats this winter; they look so simple and timeless.
