Like the ubiquitous LBD, everyone should have a great evening coat in their wardrobe. Go for pretty detailing like beading or embroidery and make sure it's in a tactile fabric such as brocade, velvet or cashmere for a luxurious feel.
This belted cashmere coat will look great at winter weddings - the 3/4
sleeves mean it isn't worklike, the belt will give you definition and
the rich burgandy 'oxblood' (shudder) shade is warming. Underneath,
pair it with this strapless red dress that with a hem that'll just peek
under the coat and is ready to be shown off at the reception. Product
info after the cut.
