For instance in the spring, all the controversy is about deciding exactly when to switch from jeans or pants to skirts (that is truly a season-changing decision, because every woman knows that once you go bare legged, you can’t go back). Then in summer, it’s swamp ass… In the fall, it’s a dilemma of finding the balance between enjoying pumpkin spice and not revealing yourself to be overtly basic.
And in winter, it’s learning the art of purchasing in the perfect coat. The thing which makes this whole winter coat thing so great is that once you’ve found it, you probably won’t need to go through all of the shopping once again and for a very long time. The catch being that it’s nearly impossible to find it in the first place.
My second winter was much less of a winter (my fellow New Yorkers, people in the city I’ve moved from and who came to visit me, remember the lovely, mild thing that was winter 2011-2012, right? The third time was not a charm, as the weather has gotten so cold that I gave up entirely and bought one of those delightfully warm head to ankle Uniqlo numbers. These ones, which turn you into looking like you’re rolled up in a sleeping bag with the face and feet cut out of it. To be true, it was effective, but it was ugly as all get out. And the perfect winter coat should keep you warm AND look good. Because I have to believe that we live in a world where we CAN have it all. I have to.
Look for a durable quality
Take every label on it into account. While being made out of cheap acrylics, even if it’s from a designer with high price points – simply teach yourself to say no.Also quite often, coats that are advertised as “wool” are only some tiny percent wool, and in reality turn out to be consisting of more than 80% nylon and spandex. Keep in mind, that no polyester will keep you warm in a snow storm, and it also gives your sweat a really funky feet smell. Make sure you’re buying a thing made to last, especially if you’re getting to spend a sum.
Locating the perfect winter coat in this big world of retailing is in some ways akin to losing your virginity. The first try to make that happen can turn to be that “it” might not fit, and it will hurt. All because you really wanted this to be the one, but you just have to keep trying until you get it right. The very same goes about choosing a right anything, this time – a winter coat. If you’re really determined to find the perfect coat you need to see ALL the coats, which is going to take time and resolve. So at the end of the day, a person who is a frazzled or bored coat hunter is never going to come up with the good stuff.
