The good quality ones I found were all secondhand and I eventually got one that fits 🤘, but I'm reeeally not a fan of fast fashion showing up absolutely everywhere.

I unfortunately needed a new coat this year, and it's been really hard to find. Size aside, what struck me the most in this search is the rise of fast fashion quality. I wanted something that lasts so I was prepared to spend $$, but even the most expensive ones I looked at felt flimsy and cheap.

this is what it feels like to try on coats when you're under 5'4"
