On The Street......Brown/Metalic, Uptown
The other day I did a post about Brow/Black color combo. Yesterday I saw this young lady and I thought her Brown/Metallic color story was really great.
Also I usually think of a plaid coat as country-ish and more cozy but she gives it a bit of city edge working it back to the silver metallic.

post a commentGreat look!...but I would have liked to see her face to complete the picture. Did she request anonimity?
yes
Wow - she looks fantastic! I love the composition of this photo - looks great as a 'piece' of style not being able to see her face. I love her chunky ring too. That coat and the boots are excellent - she has true style!
Scott, I love your blog, but sometimes I find it so depressing. I mean, I think I have an eye for style and I can put myself together (when I'm not having one of those "I'm too cold to think" days), but then I look at your pictures and I read the comments and I just feel so unstylish it keeps me up at night. I wish I were 12 again, putting together my crazy outfits (tartan tights, anyone?). Anyway, thank you for these pieces of inspiration. At the very least, they motivate me to try and find my inner stylist again.
Wonderful shot
LIKE: Wonderful classic coat. She's very cosmopolitan and sophisticated. The height of the boots is perfect and lovely accesories.
DISLIKE: The boots are too bright that they overwhelm the coat. Maybe something a little more subtle or a shade that picks up one of the darker grey lines of the coat.
Gorgeous!
::applauds wildly:: Well done!!
Great outfit, woman of mystery!
Frequently I don't love outfits without much color, but there are enough twists here to make her very stylish.
That is almost a PERFECT shot except for that thing behind her -- I first thought it was a shopping bag but whatever it is, I find it distracting and out of place in this otherwise-stunning photo.
The outfit works cuz the jacket brings it together. What's silver metallic here? The boots?
The question leads me to ask, Sart, whether it's possible to have the pictures be even BIGGER when we click on them to enlarge.
Please?
No really...please?
Seeing the finer details of some outfits (and I know you lovingly point them out to us every so often) would be even more splendorific.
mltt
The metallic boots reminds me of the cartoon "The Jetsons." Not sure why, but it does. I do love the overall look though.
The boots match her buttons.
Beautiful trench coat, I love the plaid wool style and yes you are right about the boots, they add the zipp!
Aren't there more dressed up people out in the city now close to year's end and holidays?
I love the color of the boots against the gray on the ground and in the back
the colors of the coat are wonderful -- such a wonderful shade of brown, accented by those pewter buttons, which she has emphasized to great effect with the boots and the ring. nice.
That is a wonderful outfit.
Metallics are such great neutrals. Sometimes it's too much but this outfit is not overdone - this outfit is just right.
I love the boots --they make her look like a statue that's coming to life from head to toe.
Hey, that's really great! I love your blog.
P.
Give her credit for trying something different, but I think a black wool coat with those boots, or brown leather boots with the coat she's wearing, would have better.
Sart, Please include larger files to view when we click on them. It can be sometimes difficult to see the photos on small laptops and poor quality monitors.
Thanks
wow
gorgeous
This coat is so amazing. I have a similar style in red. But not so much for function, I'm usually freezing once I'm out the door. =\
Love it! The mix of plaid with metallic is something I never would have thought of ... now I'll pull out my metallic cowboy boots and try it ...
i love this it's subtle version of the futuristic look.
The reason it works is because the buttons on the coat give off a sheen that is a bit "metallic" looking. It's subtle, but the outfit does look great.
Love this...she takes tweed to a whole new level.
I just love her coat! And her chunky ring.
I love the country-city-disco-office vibe, she could go anywhere in that outfit!
Its funny, the reaction against the bright boots and the colourful patch in the background (whatever it is). They bring to mind the expression "staring yourself blind" .
Looking to much into a photo will ultimately leave you with less. Outfits are not made for hours of scrutiny, but just for looking at as you interact with the wearer.
And if you just met this girl, all you would know is that she´s very well dressed. Her presence would make you forget the careful analysis. Had she worn your duller boots, she would have seemed a less interesting.
As for the bright patch, it is a necessary counterweight to the rest of the picture. All greys makes for a boring picture..
luv it!!
Awesome! That's elegance at its best! Beautiful shot.
this is one of the most beautiful shots you have taken, sart. absolutely love it.

this woman looks like eryka badu...her style is unmistakable. perhaps that's why her face is not shown?
Those lips look suspiciously like Erykah Badu's...
a killing combination. in a good way, of course.
Great Shot! I think it makes the picture a little bit weird without the face... Greetz from Germany, Jan
!!WOW! This rocks. This look is Tina Turner, Pam Grier(sp?) in a trench! This is Shaft all the way and this white girl is LOVING it!
No wonder she wanted to remain anonymous. She didn't want to blind us with too much coolality all at once!!
Don't need to see her face. Hawt.
