My Favorite Thing About Long Wool Coats
My Favorite Thing About Long Wool Coats
A winter wardrobe magic trick.
My favorite thing about a long wool coat is that you can wear anything underneath it and still look pulled together. Leggings + sweatshirt + sneakers = loungewear. But, add a long wool coat and you are magically wearing a thoughtful outfit. The longer the coat the more this magic trick works. For anyone living in leggings (me), these coats are a great solution to nudge yourself into more tailored territory without letting go of ease.
Here are my favorite long wool coats to make your sweats look pulled together from now until April (sorry but it’s the truth!)

I used to throw a long wool maxi coat over my flannel nightgown late at night, pull on Frye boots and hit the deli on 8th Street just off 5th Ave for ice cream just before it closed. It was my little secret.
