The Perfect Winter Coat

With our upcoming trip to Paris looming, I found myself without a winter coat (they’re all in storage back home), and soon to be in the city of Love in the midst of December. With chance of flurries forecasted, my search for a winter coat began back in Ukraine months ago. However, I quickly realized that this season’s trends weren’t in line with the type of coat I had in mind. Every coat was either cocoon-shaped, oversized, pastel-coloured, or polyester. I couldn’t find the classic, flattering, long-term coat in the good quality I was looking for, that wasn’t black. Enter: the world wide web. I searched high and low, and finally found exactly what I was looking for. This is how my must-haves look like to make the perfect winter coat:

This ideal coat is an old Jcrew version, and no longer available. Here is the coat I found (and love!):
