The Winter Trench
In the winter, nothing makes better sense to me than a big black coat. I like them double-breasted to keep the wind out, long enough to not have to wear long underwear, and belted, not only to keep myself from growing into my oversize clothes, but also to keep my stomach warm. This vintage Yohji Yamamoto piece features the most graceful rounded shoulders, almost like a relaxed Balmain, that play off well with the cinched waist and the full skirt. The subtle artistry of Mr. Yamamoto is not lost in this large, cozy, portable home of a coat.
vintage Yohji Yamamoto trench coat, COS t-shirt, Belstaff gloves, Jil Sander bag, Yohji Yamamoto pants, Guidi shoes
The sleepy, downturned lapels and the soft, almost fleece-like virgin wool make this Yohji coat my snuggie for the outside world.
gloves c/o Belstaff and my favorite carry-all clutch by Jil Sander
Little details like a button-up vent make this coat one to keep.

Love the coat, love the bag and love what I can only describe as your “fisting gloves”. But still a question: why wouldn’t you want to wear long underwear??

Duck: LOL. I find them cumbersome, and they change the way my pants drape.
