This Ben Sherman coat... yay or nay? Do you think a white coat is practical for everyday wear? And... how does Ben Sherman's sizing run?

There are too many details in the coat in Post #11,866. However, I think it's a Yay! I would probably not go with that high collar or one button too many, that this would be an outright yay. But it's manageable. Maybe look for a less-detailed coat that still remains stylish. It looks nice.

I like the coat per se however I don't think a white coat is something for everday wear. I have one and I hardly ever wear it. If you want something practical for daily use I'd recommend a black coat or maybe a grey one (maybe even navy depending on your wardrobe).

toohaute could you post the original source please? tfs threads do not qualify as credits...

i like the coat but agree that the light color makes it tough for everyday wear throughout the winter

I really like the coat. But I think it might be hard to keep it nice and clean and white if you wore it every day. I definitely don't think I'd have it as my only coat, but just going on the style of it alone I'd say yay!

Yay on the coat though it should be styled right otherwise it looks like any other plain coat from H&M.
