Perfectly buttoned up, this look revolves around the choice of accessories, first of all the shoes, that peep out from the long hem. Opt for men’s lace-ups  or high heel brogues or for more elaborate designs such as patent, python or croc print styles, also with platforms. The bag, too, has a key role, especially if it’s hand-held  or if you choose to carry a soft clutch. Never underestimate the power of  shawls, headscarves and capes to add an air of uniqueness to your black coat look.

And if you look closely at street style trends you will notice a certain inclination to show off the shirt’s white collar: Victorian style, embellished with bows or frills,  or big, to add an interesting detail.
