Shorts in winter. Yes, really. An oversized navy wool coat, the collar so wide it wraps the front and falls in a waterfall to the knee. Black tailored shorts and black tights under it. I answered this coat faster than my messages. Wear it to a gallery in the afternoon.

An oversized navy wool coat with a wide folded collar and a waterfall front, over black tailored shorts and black tights.

An oversized navy wool coat with a collar so wide it becomes the front: the lapels fold over each other, cross the body and fall in a waterfall drape to below the knee on one side. Dropped shoulders, sleeves pushed back to the forearm, no buttons in sight. Underneath, black tailored shorts with a pressed front, worn with black tights.

Shorts under a wool coat is a winter argument that only works if the coat is long enough to win it. This one is, with room to spare. Autumn and winter, a gallery or an antiques shop in the afternoon, black ankle boots with a block heel. I answer most messages late. A coat like this I answered the same day.
