This coat would have been layered over a dress, or a blouse and skirt, with heels for sure. Those were the days.
The Manokhi Leather Trench
This is a beautiful, classic lambskin leather coat. Too bad they don't know how to just model these garments in a "real life" context anymore. It's either over-the-top stylized or the model is as flat and wooden as a totem pole.
