The Red Coats Are Coming!

Defining the personal style idiom is as much about “don’t”s as it is about “do”s. And in my idiom a black coat is a “don’t”. One, I can’t bear to look like everyone else. Two, black is boring. And three, it just doesn’t look that good on me.

iconMy personal strategy for staying current is to identify emerging styles which are both classic and flattering. While I find neutral trousers work well, I prefer a coat in a more unique color. Like aubergine. Or a basic. Like red.

This Tulle Big Button Coaticon comes in 7 colors: Black, Blueberry, Chili Pepper (pictured), White Smoke, Blackberry ( a gorgeous purple), Charcoal, and Midnight.

If red is fabulously flattering on you, what more practical choice could there be for a winter coat?

  1. I love red coats! And emerald green. (But not worn together.)

    Tip: Orange is supposed to be trendy next Fall, according to Infomat. So if you look good in orange, grab one now! Think Audrey Hepburn in Charade.

  2. well, actually it seems to be Calvin Klein and, when I enlarge it, too tomato/orange for me but I would love a slim darker red walker coat

  3. Love that coat! But…I have no real need for it… That’s one of the bummers about where I live…we miss out on all of the cool winter/fall accessories!

  4. Red is fabulously flattering on me, and I need a new coat. This will definitely be a consideration (well, not this particular coat, because I don’t think that the cut will work on me, but red in general.
