SS19 Prada
Spring Wish List Toppers
When I spied these two coats and jacket on the Prada SS19 runway, my heart skipped a beat. I have a lot on my spring wish list, but these pieces are at the tippy top.

My eye was drawn immediately to the red bag! I have a bit of an itch to buy one – even though I never wear red! Trying to resist.
The coats all look quite heavy for me. I am going to invest in a lightweight trench.
We spent a couple of weeks in London around Christmas, and I saw so many beautiful wrap coats on the street that I was inspired to put Joseph’s Lista belted camel wool-blend coat on my spring wish list. I would love your input on other spring coat styles. These from prada are gorgeous!
Navy. Blue. Lightweight. Wool. Coat. Is that too much to ask? Sooooo hard to find.
@SuWu Dovima Paris makes a lightweight cashmere navy coat that is divine. I live in SF and can’t wear heavy wool or cashmere coats. Her navy cashmere topper fits the bill perfectly.
@RSS-Cali. Thank you!
For SuWu – for fabulous unlined wool coats in gorgeous colors, I have one word: Herno.
I love the little jacket above! Where I live, coat season is very short in the Spring, so I own more jackets than coats. We go from cold to hot in a matter of days, with a few days of rain in the middle. That said, we are traveling overseas come Spring, and I need a stylish coat to take me to three stylish cities: Vienna, Budapest, and Prague. And what about shoes for my not-young feet?
@Paula. Great suggestion. Preston, I feel like we’re all in the “Keep It Chic” Club, everyone is so well informed and helpful! And Paula, we are going on the same trip this spring! Like minds…
More for Paula, shoes. Ferragamo fold away flats. I always wear these on vacation and we walk a LOT. comfy and chic.
I love that you talk amongst yourselves!
Traveling to same cities May… welcome all thoughts on what to wear. Thx. During day, I plan on Nike free flyknit…light weight shoes do well (and weigh little) for my 70+ feet.
I love the boots in the main photo on the right too – gorgeous
Sue- what color in the fold away Ferragamo shoe? They all look good!
Yes, LMG, Preston any chance we know what the boots on the right are?
Hi Kirsten, black patent. They go with everything and can handle rain.
@Sue – a huge thank you for the Ferragamo ballet flats recommendation. Have been looking for something like this with no succes until of now.
Well-informed and friendly community you have here, Keep it Chic! Happy to be part of it.
Any idea who makes the red bag??
The bag is Prada and the boots are Saint Laurent.
Agree with @Paula. Herno makes fabulous coats, especially their 3-in-1 jackets. Their down jackets are both lightweight and chic.
