How I love a white coat or jacket in winter! I’ve been looking for a second addition to my wardrobe and this is what I have in mind. And a black and white ensemble is a favourite any day of the year. Come to think of it, it’s a black winter coat that my wardrobe lacks, but whenever I was in the position of choosing between black and other colours, I preferred grey, white, beige, camel, navy or black and beige herringbone pattern. But I know that when I find the perfect one, I won’t hesitate a second.
PS: I am happy to share Classiq’s latest feature, in Vintage Lifestyle Magazine, page 51. Thank you, Nicole. It is an honour. I feel the need to clarify something though. My love for fashion isn’t restricted to vintage fashion, I’m interested in fashion of the past and present alike, but most of all what I aim to inspire through my blog is timeless style, and this can not be grounded to a certain period of time.

Hey Ada,
Thank you for all the kind words
Because I read your blog, I know that you love fashion from back then and now. But because it’s a vintage magazine, I had to just highlight the aspect that you do blog about vintage film, fashion etc.
Have a wonderful week.
xx
Hi, Nicole. I know, I perfectly understand that. It’s just something I wanted to clarify for a long time, ragarding my non-regular readers for example.
For me black, white, navy, beige, dark green…. I try to use the gray only for accessories. The jacket is really pretty, and I’m sure that is sooooo warm.
:-)))))
I’ve been wearing white and other light winter clothes lately, which feel pretty good! Her coat looks chic and clean combined with darker tones!

Congrats on your feature Ada, that is very exciting! I adore black and white too and completely understand how hard it is to choose between these classic neutrals, but agree you know when you have found the right one xx
Love that jacket! Off to check out your feature now! Love that you are part of a Cape Town online mag!
Black and white ensembles are my favorite! They will never go out of style!
Have a beautiful week, Ada!

White coat or jacket is so chic! I always find that a woman in a white coat stands out of the crowd as if she’s wearing a bright colour – have you noticed this? I would love one, something very classic with a wide belt. xxx
Yes, I have. It’s amazing that feeling of standing out wearing white. I have a knee-length white coat with a belt made from the same fabric. It’s so elegant. But I have to admit that a white coat has its disadvantages: last winter I was wearing my beautiful white coat and got splashed from head to toe by a car. The good thing is that I was spontaneous enough and began to laugh. The other pedestrians did not see that coming, my being able to make fun of my own misfortune.
I’ve been searching for a white winter coat, and this one you’ve shown is gorgeous!
Lovely, Ada, so happy for your blog! And yes, we know that you like both vintage and new fashion. A white coat is so elegant! :*
The perfect black coat – i agree when you find it you will get it – i do love the classic black and white combo – it is abs timeless and at the moment i prefer it to all black which can work amazingly or just highlight quite how many shades of black there truly are – fab pic btw xx

Love the white. So classic.
I love a winter white jacket…I have a cream one I wear all of the time, my favorite go-to is a plaid jacket I bought last year at Zara. Black can be a little more boring to purchase…excited to see when you find a black coat you fall in love with!
Congrats on your feature Ada! Very exciting! I took a chance this year and bought a biscuit coloured coat and it’s beautiful! I would loooooove a white coat but living in a gritty city, I would be completely neurotic about getting it dirty!
First off, warm congratulations on the feature—that is wonderful, and I will have to go and take a look… Secondly, beautiful coat, indeed!
This photo is perfection in my mind! And I often reach for a lighter color coat in the winter as well. Ivory and camel are my go tos
Heading on over to check out your feature now! xoxo
I’ve been looking for a white coat for a while now…but no luck
I love colours but if I had to choose, I’ll always choose a black&white ensemble…the timeless chic black&white ensemble
love this white coat with the black ribbons. the look is so chic with black skirt and tights!
xoxo navy & orange
