Swapping buttons - winter coat makover

Have you ever owned one of those? Sad black coat, with little character or decoration? You probably still do, beacuse they seem to be universal, but in the end, they just make a silent existence in our wardrobes. I decided to give mine a new life.

As you can see, it is a classic short coat, with a hood, double breasted and with a belt. The buttons are really unexciting and just make it more classic. I bought it in times when I would go everywhere on a bicycle, so I needed something short but warm.



Now I have moved to a place where cycling is almost impossible, with steep slopes and virtually NO bike lanes, but on the other hand, I can just walk everywhere.

I decided to go for contrast buttons in unusual shape. These white toggle buttons turned out to be perfect.

Now it has asymmetrical closure and I am excited to put it on again! I am wondering now if I should change the buckle as well...
