Choosing a coat is hard. From late August, when the sun is still shining, new-season styles start hitting stores, and suddenly, even if you thought you knew what your wardrobe was missing, you can be all too easily overwhelmed with choice. From relaxed wool styles and traditional trench coats to smart tailored versions and more maximalist bright faux-fur numbers, there’s a lot to decide between.
If, however, you’re after something unique, something that says you know fashion, something so timeless it will truly last forever (and probably become one of those pieces your children think you’re really cool for owning), may I point you in the direction of Mango’s beautiful new leather coat. Yes, it’s high-street(!), so although this real leather piece is still an investment, it’s not beyond the realms of reality, like a similar style from The Row might be. It comes in an ever-flattering mid-length and is made from buttery-soft black LWG-approved leather—that’s Leather Working Group to you and I, a not-for-profit organisation seeking to improve the leather industry by promoting environmental care. With a trench-style shape and ties at the waist, put simply, it’s one of those special high-street pieces that only comes along once in a blue moon.
