Love 60s style? Need a coat? Lisa Perry can help.

Filed under: Clothing, Vintage and Retro, Must Haves


We're in coat heaven this winter - there are so many great options out there this season and for that owe a large debt of gratitude to the ongoing popularity of retro fashions. Fifties dresses were huge this summer, and now that the air is getting chillier mod-style coats are getting their turn in the spotlight.

The bold colors and geometric shapes popular in the sixties translate very well to outerwear - as do the boxy cuts and general playfulness of the era. Did your mother take good care of her clothes AND this she save them for you? Then you're in luck! (And we hate you, just a little bit.) For the rest of us, designer Lisa Perry has created a line of sixties-inspired coats that let the rest of us join in on the fun.
