Dua Lipa found a cute trench coat alternative

If there’s anyone we’d trust to know about transitional wardrobe staples, it would be Dua Lipa. It feels as if she’s always between a tour, a book club meeting, and a far-flung idyllic vacation. The pop star is jumping between time zones and seasons like it’s her job…which…it kind of is. Correct?

That being said, she is somehow living out of the world’s biggest and best suitcase and always has the perfect outfit for any occasion. Just last week, she was spotted in New York wearing the perfect coat for ping-ponging weather, which is currently teetering between too hot and too cold. It was a long black sleek coat, worn over a simple white dress and matching heels. This is the kind of coat you need when you can’t decide whether it’s real spring or spring of fools (here in New York it varies by the day).

The coat feels like a dress coat but is actually a very elegant alternative to the more standard trench coat. It looks much more attractive than a denim jacket. And while we don’t have quite the same schedule as Lipa, it looks like it’s something we can wear endlessly throughout the spring — until it’s time for those cozy vacations they’ve inspired us to book.
