One picture showed it in pink with black leggings which looked absurd. The dark green camouflage look appealed to me more. but maybe the fact that the girl wearing the pink coat has it awkwardly off her shoulder didn't help.
It was from River Island. The price was more than I would spend. £180. Pricey. An online search bought up the picture immediately. Along came more on Amazon. Same price. Different styles.
So what are my favourite multi-purpose outfits?
1 Reversible dresses with matching scarves which work as a long double oblong scarf, hanging down the front, rolled up as a belt; or folded diagonally once into a shawl, triangular at the back.
3 Multi-style sarongs, especially if they have a video or page of diagrams. The trouble is most of the sarong styles require no bust, or ten types of bra, or somebody who doesn't mind displaying their underwear.
4 Pull up dresses with an elastic top which form two styles. Hang from the waist as ankle length skirts. Alternatively as knee-length dresses when pulled up over the bust.
The best versions have a matching material double tie piece sewn from the centre of the waist. This double ribbon or scarf, can be rolled or narrowed to form a belt, or spread as tummy cover, or bottom cover, when worn as a skirt. When you pull up the garment, the hanging pieces can be thrown over the shoulders to make a sarong.
You need a lot of safety pins to secure it, or a thin jacket in a co-ordinating fabric if you want to cover your armpits or your arms with long sleeves. Why would you? To look decent, in a church or more formal occasion, or out in the street. Or indoors to avoid freezing in air conditioning.
5 Shoes which had options of two or more heel heights and styles.
