Last week, I wrote about the iconic Doc Marten’s boots and how I believe everybody should have a pair of their own. This week, with the chilly fall weather getting closer and closer, I have decided to write about the second staple piece that I believe everybody should have. A fabulous, signature wool peacoat.
Without a doubt, the wool peacoat is one of the oldest pieces in the book of fashion. A classic style, the wool peacoat was used by soldiers in World War I and II to stay warm. Even in films like Baz Luhrman’s Moulin Rouge, the French people were seen sporting floor-length peacoats. It is one of those classic styles that shall never leave fashion.
There are countless variations of the peacoat, all playing with cut, color, shape, and so much more. Whether yours is vintage or new, the peacoat adds a sense of British elegance and maturity no matter who the wearer is. While the classic double-breasted wool peacoat with black anchor buttons is beautiful, there are so many different styles of the peacoat to choose from and if you are willing to look, you can find one that you can make your own.
I believe it is important to have a signature style in the world of fashion. Here’s me (and a goat) in my signature wool peacoat from Zara. It has an exaggerated hood to contrast the straight silhouette and it ends mid thigh on me. I feel like a high fashion witch when I wear my coat. Loves it!
Do you have your signature coat ready for the fall season?
Stay fabulous
