It sounds vaguely rude but just means wearing a long knit, jacket or light coat over trousers or a long skirt
The top I’m wearing here isn’t in the shops – it’s from my own wardrobe and about five years old, so you can’t buy it. So it goes against the No 1 rule of fashion journalism: in order to be useful, I wear and write about stuff that you can go out and buy. Well, if it’s all right with you, I’m going to do things a bit differently from now on.
We’re all trying to shop more ethically, to not mindlessly buy clothes that will end up in landfill, right? I thought a good place to start would be by mixing up this column so that I’m still wearing a new look every week without being head to toe in new clothes. I’m hoping that since this is how we all actually dress anyway– wearing old favourites with new pieces – it will be more useful, rather than less.
