Even though the actual construction of the piece may not be simple, the design exudes a sense of minimalism that automatically fits in with all your wardrobe staples. Look for an ankle length coat in simple linen and piped at the edges in a contrasting tone. Most importantly, make sure it’s not lined. Coats that take you from day to evening needn’t have lining, especially in summer.
Accessories shouldn’t take a backstage role, but should instead exude kitsch qualities that allude to both the disco era and the magic of nature. Look to delicately crafted low heels embroidered in ruby begonias or opt for pearl work for a more grounded look.
Certain coats that are manufactured with summer climes in mind artfully merge the structure of a robe with that of a evening coat, ensuring not only their seamless transition into eveningwear but guaranteeing them as daywear appropriate too. Look to sleeveless coats cut in silk, satin or a thin film of golden lame to exude opulence.
