One thing that you can guarantee
about the British Summer is that it will be unpredictable. You can
have blazing sunshine in the morning and rain in the afternoon.
Carrying a coat or a cardigan with you if you are leaving the house
for more than an hour is always advisable.
This year when thinking about
buying a Summer coat I had something very specific in mind. The
golden fleece of coats. Seemingly unobtainable (if previous years
are anything to go by) until you are willing to pay well over £100.00
(which I am not). What is the coat on my clothing pedestal? A stone
coloured trench coat.
But they are everywhere I hear
you cry! Well yes, they are, unless you are as particular about
coats as I am. There is a long list of criteria that has to be met
in order to be my perfect coat. It is after all something that you
are going to get a lot of wear out of, so it has to be “the one”.
- The colour has to go with everything. (I thought that I have found my perfect trench coat last year, only for the stone colour described to actually be a dirty beige)
- The fit has to be impeccable. Not too tight, not too loose and comfortable.
- The fabric shouldn't crease and also, it should neither be too thick or too thin.
- I should feel like a hot female spy in a film noir movie.
Anyway, I found my coat of
dreams in the Dannimac coats section at +Marisota and it can be found here: Dannimac
