Get the Look: A big coat !

Garance Dore is an original.
Her blog is delightful.
She understands and loves fashion.
She knows what suits her.
Here she is wearing an amazing Stella McCartney camel coat.
The point ? This is the new silhouette. It’s big. It’s loose. It’s here to stay. Every 5 years or so things change. This happened about 2 years ago with the Celine show but you didn’t notice. But that’s Ok. Because I did. If you were smart last year you would have obeyed The FiFi Report and bought the Witchery big oversized camel coat as instructed.  I am sure they will bring it out again.
In the meantime you wear this shorter version £229 from Ted Baker from House of Fraser . Lesson here: It’s about layering the statement making coat over your neutrals. You want white jeans $172 from J brand, and chambray shirt $99 from Country Road .
Then it’s about accessories. Chic nude heels , a snakeskin shoulder handbag and fab mirror sunglasses $59 from le Specs.
Oh and push up those sleeves to show off your cuffs.
