I was recently asked by
+Simply Be if I wanted to have a look through their current Winter coats and chose one for review.
I always tend to chose coats that are either practical but plain or stylish but conservative so this time I wanted to chose something that was both warm and stylish; but also just a little bit special. I also had an eye out for something that would work either day or evening and could be used during the week at work or to dress up a weekend outfit. Yes, I wanted a lot!!
After much searching through the various styles, colours and shapes, I decided upon the
Joe Brown Perfect Purple Tweedy Coat
I have taken photographs of the coat wearing a black bodycon dress that I wore to work this week and also in a pair of leggings and a tunic dress that I would normally wear at the weekend. The
Purple Tweedy Coat is definately a coat that can be used on all occasions, except perhaps a muddy field, by why would you want to do that to something so pretty?
At £110.00 it is on the higher side of what would be my budget for a Winter coat, but it ticks every single box for me and works doubly well for work or play.
The coat has a luxurious feel with attention to detail in the coordinated lining and the detailing on the buttons. It is warm and the neckline can be worn higher or lower depending on how cold it is. One thing it is missing is pockets however that may have detracted from the lines of the coat.
One thing to mention, the buttons on the coat, mine at least, were quite loose and on the second of time of wearing, one fell off, never to be seen again. Thankfully there is a spare button and I have restitched them all so they are all now secure.
I feel like a million dollars in this coat, I really do. I have never been a real lover of coats before this year as they always seem to be teamed with the word "serviceable" which I hate. This coat is stylish, comfortable and absolutely fabulous.
What will you be wearing this Winter?
*This coat was gifted to me however all my opinions are my own
