FASHION TIPS FOR SELECTING A WINTER COAT
- Think Fabric. All wool coats are not created equally. Yes. 100% cashmere coats are king, but even a small percentage of cashmere blended with other wools will give a coat more luxury and longevity. Avoid a large percentage nylon blended with wool. The nylon can start showing through the wool in just a few seasons, making it look worn and old.
- Consider Length and Shape. A coat that falls from mid-thigh to the knee tends to be the most versatile length, as it can work over pants, jeans and skirts.
- Study and Details Sleeves should cover your wrist bone. Pockets should be neither too low nor too high; they need to appear in places that work with your figure. Buttons should be sewn on tightly and extras provided.
- Take It For A Test Drive Before purchasing a coat, try it on wearing what you plan to wear under it. Also button or zip it up and hug yourself to ensure it fits properly. There should be enough movement to comfortably steer the wheel of your car.
