The first coat morning arrived this week, so one camel coat covers six days — everything under it changes.
Campus dark academia puts the coat open over a cream ribbed turtleneck, a charcoal wool midi skirt, opaque black tights and black leather loafers. On a warm afternoon the coat comes off, and the turtleneck and tights still hold the outfit together.
The Parisian look keeps the coat on top of a red-and-cream striped sweater, dark indigo straight-leg jeans, black ankle boots and a black beret. The indigo jeans drop straight into the weekend outfit when pale denim feels too easy for a weekday.
For the leaf-peeping weekend, a heather-grey hoodie goes under the coat with pale light-wash wide-leg jeans, brown ankle boots, cream socks and a red cap. Swapping in the indigo jeans moves this one to a city errand.
The sharp tailoring morning is the coat open over a strong-shouldered black blazer, a plain white tee, a charcoal pencil midi skirt and heeled black ankle boots. Those boots also carry the Parisian look, so one pair covers two moods.
Nordic cozy is a chunky burgundy knit, a black denim midi skirt, thick cream wool socks, white low-top sneakers and a charcoal beanie. This is the one for a genuinely cold morning when you still want to walk somewhere.
Countryside equestrian brings back the cream turtleneck from the campus look with a warm brown A-line midi skirt, brown ankle boots and a soft brown brimmed hat. The turtleneck travels between both outfits, so keep it out of the laundry basket.
Start with the coat. Change the bottom, then the shoe, and the same closet reads six different ways.
