This is basically a "help me decide on which key pieces I need / should purchase for my winter wardrobe / where to find them."
I'm basically going for this N(N) look blended with how I usually dress (more mod / streamlined) which basically means with white button-ups / polos. I'm looking to introduce a little more texture / interesting blacks and greys into my outfits, so the keys are going to be:
Jacket / Coat:
- Looking at this black peacoat. Not a terrible option, damn cheap so if I go with this I can put money elsewhere. Purportedly light, so should be fine for california.
- I'd prefer something more like this jacket (A.P.C.) as it would balance the rest of the outfit a little better and is much closer to my aesthetic, but alas, was not to be. If anyone knows anything like this that would be okay for this weather and isn't terribly expensive I'd appreciate it.
Wrap:
- As shown in the N(N) look. Are these still available? How much are they?
- Alternatives much appreciated for this one as I imagine the N(N) will be too much for what essentially appears to be a yard of fabric (?)
Boots:
Keep in mind that I probably won't be tucking these, unless I go for the Butteros, in which case I might be should they allow it.
- New Buttero laceups in Charcoal. Like the texture, decent price.
- Clark Desert Boots in black Suede. Cheap alternative if wrap / jacket get too expensive. Probably won't be tucking anyway, so this would be fine.
- I love black suede, so these women's Demeulemeesters look attractive, but perhaps too feminine?
Pants:
- Pretty much thinking a pair of the raw black A.P.C. New Cures if I can find them. Looking doubtful at the moment as I don't think they produced any this season? If anyone knows anywhere that might have some, I'd be much indebted.
Please excuse the absurdly long post.
(edit: on a side note, does anyone know what boots the fellow from Atelier is wearing in the N(N) outfit?)
