To be honest, the only thing I truly miss about the winter season—at least in the United States—are the coats. L’hiver—known to the English-speaking world as “winter”—in Europe is rather delightful, especially because of the lack of tourists. But, I digress.

I could live in a coat, even in the summertime, which I essentially did today, given that it’s 75 degrees F in Novembre here in Los Angeles, and will continue to be, probably until summer returns—although did it ever really leave?

Having grown up on the east coast, I still aim to dress with the season, if for no other reason than that I just love fashion.

Un manteau is the ultimate accessory, and this furry topper is a perfect example. A coat can add polish to an elegant ensemble, a touch of whimsy to a playful one, or have a balanced, sobering effect on an otherwise controversial look.

A coat can take on a personality of its own. It can be your best friend, strategically draping itself around your shape to conceal monthly bloat, or it can even be your wing-woman—flung off at just the right moment to make an entrance or to capture someone’s attention from across the room.

A coat can be everything a good outfit needs, and I have to say, I can’t get enough. They hang proudly in my closet like trophies, and like children, I can’t pick a favorite. Warm weather be damned, I will proudly parade them all season long.

Can you guess where this one is from? I’ll give you a hint: I will surely wear this coat Forever!
