The Gianfranco Ferré white coat

I usually go for the most minimalistic wool winter coat. But every once in a while I like to break the pattern and try something more structural. I wouldn’t think twice if I were to choose one of these two Gianfranco Ferré white coats from the fall/winter collection. The two-fabric coat with just above the wrist sleeves, hidden buttons and collarless, with round neckline (recalling that same minimalism, but giving way to play a little with the form and textures) or the one side buttoned up cashmere coat with those sculptural satin edged lapels and standup collar. Pushing my boundaries just a bit in the most stylish manner. Would you wear these pieces?

    I love the second one, but to be totally honest, if I had a budget enough for Ferre, I’d most likely buy MaxMara… xxx

    Both beautifully made and great detailing…Yep, I’d say the second one for me…though I like the neckline of the first coat..

    I have often gone for a standout fashion coat and then wished i hadnt but these are really beautiful and although standout have a classic element – guess it depends on whether the shape suits xx

    Yes! I would so wear these pieces Ada, and I have always longed for a white winter coat–so I could see owning both! These two are just gorgeous, you have such a wonderful eye for picking out beauty.

    Yes, I would! The cut is so clean and these coats look super soft (as you know I’m obsessed with fabrics). I’ve never bought a white coat because I think it would be ‘high maintenance’, but this off-white is very tempting and so elegant…

    Love, Love, Love both coats. I have a slight coat obsession and have many stunning cream/white coats as I want to be different from the sea of black in winter. (although definety not the most practical colour choice wih two young children!)
