Sugar Coated

This coat by Cabi is a sweet deal. At $169.00, it is worth every penny. First off, it is easy to wear either dressed up with a pair of tailored pants or casually with a pair of jeans. A dressy coat over a pair of pants does double duty as a pantsuit, but with even more versatility. In my opinion, it is a far better investment than a blazer.

In addition, you can wear it over a skirt or dress for a more polished look. Either way, you cannot lose. These days, when the temperatures have been mild on both coasts, it is a balmy 64 degrees in NYC today, you can wear this coat now and then again in the spring. Here in Southern California, you can layer a sweater underneath for added warmth.

I want to reiterate that navy and black pair beautifully. I have many friends who ask me what they can wear with navy, and when I tell them, “black,” they look at me quizzically. Black and navy go together like salt and pepper. They don’t appear to be likely partners, but they complement each other in just the right way. This coat would look great over a pair of black pants, a skirt or a dress.
