A STATEMENT COAT

 

Hello Classy People, 
The excitement of reopening the Fashion Club at my university has inspired me to embrace my personal style fully, from head to toe. 

Currently, I’m on vacation in Istanbul, where I've noticed that many travelers tend to pack hoodies for winter and t-shirts for summer, as if they are simply enjoying a break without any regard for their wardrobe. However, I can't bring myself to do that. For me, a vacation is as important as attending university or any event, it deserves to be honored with thoughtful outfit choices.

Along with some friends, we plan to start our day around 9 AM, visiting as many addresses as we can, beginning with the Sultan Ahmet area. 

Since it’s quite cold in Istanbul right now, I packed three coats and two capes to layer over my outfits this week.

When it comes to a STATEMENT COAT, it must meet certain criteria, and buttons certainly play a crucial role. 

A coat that boasts buttons crafted not from plastic, but instead from materials like metal, gold, silver, wood, leather or noble fabrics, elevate the coat's allure and craftsmanship.

However, finding such exquisite pieces has become quite the challenge. In today's fashion market, where affordability reigns, the quality and style of these unique coats have sadly dwindled. To discover these hidden gems, you'll need to venture into the realm of creators’ workshops and explore vintage boutiques, where artistry and heritage come alive in every stitch.
