Vol. 30: Vagabond-Style Long Coat [béigə-bɑ'nd kóut]
Sukezane“This season, the standout outerwear is undoubtedly the coat. Oversized, big silhouette coats are being released by various brands in a range of colors, patterns, and materials.
The ones selected for this Best 7 have a certain vagabond-like atmosphere. Long coats with a relaxed fit for men evoke a sense of masculine romance, a feeling of being a wanderer. If you're looking for a coat that captures this year's trend, I believe one with a wild mood, loose enough to sleep in, is ideal.
As for me, I haven't bought a coat this season yet. I'm thinking of buying the navy hooded long coat from Stella McCartney, which I featured here before, once it gets a bit colder. If you're planning to buy one soon, please take this as inspiration.”
