I have anEndless Lovefor trench coats, and now I’m clearing closet space for another thanks toBrooke Shields.

On January 6, the 59-year-old was seen all bundled up in New York City wearing a long white trench coat, which I was rather happy — no, ecstatic — to see. Why? The winter white hue was the reminder I needed that it’s A-okaynotto wear a black jacket, which is the norm this time of year.

Her coat also had a belt, so it looked flattering and sculpted, and it was so stylish, I didn’t even care to question what her outfit looked like underneath. She also wore a pair of slouchy camel boots with a thick, winter-proof heel.

Other celebrities have recently strayed away from basic black coats, too: Kate Hudson,Jennifer Lopez, andSelena Gomezhave worn fur styles, while Taylor Swift and Katie Holmes opted forsoft trim details. As for winter whites, we’ve spottedMeghan MarkleandLopezin the lighter color palette.

I spent a good chunk of my December in Chicago, and I wore my classic khaki trench coat way more than my jumbo puffer. (I also got acropped version like Gwyneth Paltrow’s over the holidays!) I now see the versatility of a white one, and I think I’m pretty set on this one.

It has fun buckles on the wrists — a detail that mine are both lacking — while the belt is buckle-less unlike Shields, whichone shopper said“makes it easier to cinch the waist.” It’s also made from a cotton-blend fabric, which I like more than polyester, and it comes in sizes S to XXL for more tailored or oversized fits.

And in case you needed a reminder, clothing is meant to fit you and your lifestyle — not the other way around. For example, I don’t go into the office, so I don’t need a coat that’s super dressy. But if you do, a pea coat like this one is another way to personalize the trend.

Since I’m pretty clumsy, I’ll often choose off-white orlight beige styles, so if I spill a drip or two of coffee, it seems less noticeable.

It takes a lot for me to wear heels these days, and it’s usually a pair of block heels like these that you’d find me in. They’re as stable as they come since they cover more surface area on the ground — plus,Sarah Jessica ParkerandTaylor Swifthave given them a metaphorical thumbs up.

It’s hard to tell just how tall Shields’ boots were, but one thing is clear: They were not ankle boots. TL;DR: Taller pairs are what you want in the winter. These are up 38 percent off and have a soft suede-like fabric. Andaccording to one five-star reviewer, “The slouchy look and pointed toe add a chic, western vibe that complements dresses and jeans alike.”
