I love a good balmacaan, often better for running around than a trench. The one above, from The Row’s summer collection shown this morning in Paris, is gorgeous. And, the socks are still quite chic.

After 20 years casting models for Vogue, Harper's Bazaar, and fashion shows, I wanted to spend more time with my daughters. KiC is my way to share my thoughts on fashion and style. I believe style should permeate every aspect of our lives — from home, to family, to where we go, and naturally, what we wear — especially when we're just running around.

I far prefer a macintosh because of its uncluttered simplicity. Mine is possibly 20 years old and still the best, most polished travel coat I have. It’s a wonderful shade taupe, the collar closes at the neck (as above), and very ‘Italian men’s tailoring’ buttons. If I ever let go of the coat, I will take those buttons off first. 🙂 Just dropped it off at the cleaners yesterday! Thank you for this timeless post.
I’ve been hunting for a good balmacaan for years and finally gave up. I hope it’s coming back in popularity?
I cannot get enough of this collection. I’ve been watching (and rewatching) footage since it was shown yesterday. So good! Marcheline Isabelle
It is a balmacaan, thx SLF.
Mine is a balmacaan – I just thought the terms were interchangeable. What is a macintosh?
According to my search results, mackintosh is the rubberized fabric that is waterproof. I thought they were interchangeable, too. But, ‘mac’ is also short for balmacaan, so I can leave the title. Phew…
The shoes and that long maxi skirt caught my eye immediately. Love!
