Statement Puffer

Amidst all the black and one hue winter puffer coats, a pop of fun pattern is a welcome change. This coat was a great deal, I bought it on sale at Century, of blessed memory (come baaaaacccckkkkk!!). It’s Scotch and Soda, a brand I used to love to dress my kids in. When I learned a few years ago that they had an adult line, I was thrilled. They are known for their whimsy personality in their pieces, and I’ve always loved dressing that way. Some of my favorite items in my wardrobe come from Scotch and Soda. I happen to have a beanie in the same color family, and these non prescription, see through sunglasses gave me 90’s Lisa Loeb vibes. We tend to gravitate towards a darker wardrobe during colder months. So much black! I love how this coat plays off the stark sophistication of whatever black, dark gray, or denim we are wearing underneath. As I always say, most “successful” ensembles achieve some kind of balance in some way. Never too studied, rehearsed, or overthought. Just the right, effortless mix that clicks for you.
