The Sartorialist

She makes that coat look so hip & stylish!
I've never been much of a coat fan. I always like the look of a good, classic one in concept…but I never was keen on actually wearing one- too cumbersome. As a kid, I dreaded winter because I was cold, refusing to button up some bulky coat I was forced to wear. Fast-forward to adult years: Not much changed. I never wanted to invest in a good-quality, stylish overcoat–would rather spend the money on killer clothes. After moving to the tropics, the coat issues were forgotten. However, I finally succumbed when my husband kept pointing out the obvious: I needed a good, classic coat because I do actually travel to other climates. I mean really. Everyone needs outerwear. So I bought a gorgeous black cashmere & wool coat. Of course it takes too much room in a suitcase. But I'm traveling to a cold place soon, & actually look forward to wearing it.
Back to the photo: Maybe I'll swing for this type of coat next time. I'm inspired now!

much to admire about this shot–the column theme, echoed in the lines of her coat, the perfect brown to wear with black, the way the color of her coat complements her hair.
And who doesn’t like a pretty girl with bed-head hair?

She’s got old skool rock chick glamour.

Excellent Style! Good creation!!!!
Brilliant!!!!

She’s so hot..Love her shearling and shoes

She looks fun, like she was partying all night and is just making it home the next morning. I agree she looks like Carine.

I’ve always loved the dress (?), big warm coat, and black tights look in the wintertime. It’s such a chic way to stay warm, and I love the proportion. I did, however, comment the same thing on a picture a few months back, and I have to say it again because I truly hope it doesn’t catch on or something: Please, PLEASE no open-toed shoes with tights. If you’re wearing tights, odds are, open-toed shoes aren’t appropriate, and vice versa. I just hate that look, but otherwise the outfit looks very comfortable and very good on her. Although I do have the urge to wash or at least brush her hair. Maybe it was windy?

Love the coat!

And she looks like Carine Roitfeld.

I love the oversized jacket. If you have the confidence, you can make it work- esp that. Im a big fan of oversized coats, sweaters, shirts. I steal my dad’s shirt and put it with a belt, surprisngly it looks chic.

really like the feel overall. liked the hair when the pic was small, but in the zoom in it just looks dirty!!!

Love the tights with the shoes, that just makes the whole thing. Oh and that fabulous hair!

WOW! The first time I have had a visceral reaction to a look in this blog. Not that others haven’t been fabulous, fascinating, perfectly stylish, heartwarming or cheering, it’s that this one pressed all the right buttons for me. (Except the shoes, I would prefer boots.) Carine, Anouk Aimee, Jackie O and Bjork all alluded to in a very individual package. I want that coat!!!

Who is she?
I’m usually in agreement with the Sartorialist and most of the comments, but since when is making yourself into the spitting image of someone else an original or particularly stylish thing to do? She looks like she’s trying to look like Carine Roitfeld. And open-toed sandals in the winter can be stylish enough, but nothing to get excited about.

Good coat though.

She looks like she’s wearing her boyfriend’s coat. It’s kind of a ‘messy, just got out of bed at my boyfriend’s apartment, running late for work’, look. I love it!

The right shades of brown and black always work! She’s mastered that and looks effortlessly chic!

p.s. she looks like Katie Holmes

:)

What a GROOVY coat! So graphic, so nice!
Sart…….you SERIOUSLY need to publish a ‘coffee table’
book of your wonderful photos.
I’m quite sure Annie L. would write a sterling foreword!

Toastie for a cold Moscow winter. The coat reminds me of a comfortable pair of ugg-boots. The look is minimalistic – you can wear it almost anywhere in the world.

most of the above are right

Love her shoes!

carine roitfeld much? haha

she looks great!

balance is perfect. adorable comes to mind. love it!

I really tought she was Carine!
=O

I love the coat!!

yay! im glad to finally see someone from moscow who dresses like the rest of us westerners!

Let’s face it — if you look like Nata T., pretty much anything you wear is going to look fabulous. What’s the point of fashion if it only assists the gorgeous? It’s like medicine that only works if you’re not sick.

can’t believe all the kudos on the hair. my immediate response to this was 1) wash your head, and 2) guess skinny youth gets away with anything. btw, there *are* stylish women of substance out there. would love to see some photos of them…

Tights and shoes are FAB!

this is awesome.

coat – is great!
love it

wonderful shoes. and i don’t think she looks like carine either! just not seeing it, haha

Love the coat. Would have much rather she paired it with boots. I agree that open toe shoes and tights is not a good look.

i have been reading this blog for years and have never publicly commented but this image is so moving to me! at first glance, this girl is nothing special– almost trashy in a giant men’s coat– but next thing you know you’re DYING to know what else she can pull together. what else is in her closet? is this outfit actually genious? is she moskow’s answer to carrie bradshaw? this girl knows how to create intrigue– and that my friends is always in fashion.

hehe, cute outfit!

she has appeal that is not defined.
she is wearing nothing spectacular,
yet you want to look at her.
Women have been wearing Carine’s do long before she was known.

Love the super high heels!! Really like the fact that she is wearing sandals in the winter. Who says sandals are just for the summer.

beuatiful. Love the jacket.

Look so CArine LOL…555

She's great!
