A coat is a classic and a wardrobe essential. Especially in Nairobi, where the weather is unpredictable.
Whether you are the type to invest in one set colour or invest in a few interchangeable pieces, its important to choose wisely. You do not want to get stuck with a coat that does not go with most of your clothes, or that is 'too trendy' and will look out of place in a few months.
Its tempting to go for the safe choice, a black trench coat because of its versatility, but.....sometimes its nice to mix it up. Besides, lighter colours can be just as versatile if you choose wisely and can give you a less intense, more relaxed finish that is great for a range of looks.
I chose this orange waterfall belted Midi Coat

Lets say you are going on a date, the coat can be styled with a black little dress and heels like I did and Viola!

With the tied silhouette it will give you a flattering look without looking overdressed.
Even when in a rush, pair it with staples like leggings and a T-shirt and it will pull everything together effortlessly.
