Outdoors is where it’s happening so this winter your ‘party season’ look needs to be a coatfit
You don’t just need a coat, this winter; you need a coatfit. Social distancing has prolonged al fresco season into unseasonable temperatures, so long as outdoors is pretty much the only place you can see the people you don’t live with. Now and then it is quite nice to have a conversation with someone whose laundry you didn’t wash that afternoon, I find. Just for a change of pace. In the season of early closing and six-people-max tables, outdoors is where it’s happening, so your “party season look” this year needs to be full-coverage and fully lined. It’s a coat.
A coatfit is a coat that’s also an outfit. It needs to be a look, not just a layer. You need to be able to feel a bit glam in it, like you could be sitting on a garden bench under fairy lights having a gossip. As a litmus test, try this: can you picture yourself holding a wine glass, in this coat?
