This classic Yves Saint Laurent piece touches on his love of incorporating a touch of menswear into his designs. The cut is a classic take on a man's coat, from its simple cut to its man's suiting choice of fabric. Front slant pockets allow for a cool girl slouch and the top breast pocket is a play on a mans suit. It buttons down the front and to make it crystal clear that this is not an overcoat meant for a man, the buttons are fabulous rhinestone encrusted silver metal domes. Since it opens fully, this allows you to wear it as a light coat layered over other pieces or button or on its own as a dress once buttoned. I love the wide, bold shoulders that have a bit of padding in them and that each sleeve ends with two more rhinestone buttons in a notched cuff. It is a fabulous take on a man's coat that ends up being decidedly female. It is far better on and in person then how it photos so the lucky girl who grabs it will be very pleased. Excellent, appears unworn condition.
