Year after year, editors tell us to pick a standout coat that will make us feel fabulous even though we’re essentially wearing the same thing day after day. But — just like in your vacation photos in which you’re wearing the same jacket in each one — is it really best to wear something that so obviously screams “I wore this yesterday! And the day before that!”
The argument is that wearing a coat in a flattering color/design/texture/silhouette (even if it’s conspicuous) is better than wearing black or brown every day, as long as it meshes with your personal style.
I’m on the fence witht this one, probably because I don’t have a coat that’s quite my signature just yet. And while Mary-Kate and I would love to steal Brandon Flowers’ epaulet-adorned jacket-of-the-moment right off his back (or purple tiger hoodie for that matter), I do have a Facebook photo portfolio to worry about.
