Italian Mom Street Style – The Coatigan Spotted

By Reasonstodress

The Reason She Dressed

I saw this mom one evening when I was out with some friends for a “passeggiata” (walk) and we stopped for some “gelato” (ice cream) at a Gelateria.

She was there having some ice cream with her  man, cute daughter and some friends and I just couldn’t resist.  My phone was dead and I had forgotten my camera at home, so to take these photos I asked my neighbor for their phone and then they emailed me the pictures.  That’s how much I love her style!

What She Wore

She is totally rocking the infamous Coatigan. If you haven’t heard of a Coatigan before, welcome to Fashion’s new must-have wardrobe update. It’s not quite a coat, it’s not quite a cardigan.  It’s like  a confused cardigan that REALLY wants to keep you warm enough so your not reaching for your coat.  The Coatigan, you heard it here first.   I’ll be talking more about the Coatigan Tomorrow for my Why I Dressed Wednesday post.

She paired it with great hair (I am so lacking in the great hair department) and awesome bootesque sneakers. I have no idea what the brand is, because I didn’t want to push my creepy blogger luck.
