I like to think I'm fairly considered when it comes to buying new clothing. Most of my wardrobe is vintage or pre-loved, and it takes a lot for me to get that 'I need to buy it right ' feeling. But this week, dear readers, a coat ignited that fever in me, and I am (somewhat reluctantly) sharing it with you.
Fashion editors aren't allowed to gatekeep – it's practically a law. The coat in question is a lightweight trench – perfect for the current not-quite-autumn weather – from Peachy Den's just-launched . The comes in three colours, rose (which I instantly bought), (which I'm seriously considering) and , which sold out within moments.
Let's collectively manifest for a restock. The indie brand, founded by Isabella Weatherby in 2019, has long been a Gen-Z favourite but the latest drop got this millennial interested. In particular, it was the – featuring influencer Olivia Neill and directed by Jake Erland – that piqued my interest.
It's an homage to that first scene in , where 's Andy Sachs is striding through New York, post fashion closet makeover – complete with Madonna's as the soundtrack. In Peachy's version, Neill is wearing said pink trench coat with scarlet gloves and matching boots, and the sage iteration with a white shirt, shorts and a ballet headband. Chic! I immediately vowed to recreate each and every outfit.
The thigh-grazing length of the trench also lends itself excellently to mini shift dresses and knee-high boots, which I plan to wear tightless until.
