Hello lovely S&B ladies. I'm planning a very capsule wardrobe for a couple of nights away, most of what I'm taking seems to lean towards my brown flat knee high boots, but my coat is a similar colour/style to this one and I can't picture if my black ones would be better?
There'll be some 'day to night' in a city so I'm relying on my coat to provide the smart element of otherwise comfortable functional outfits (dark blue jeans, fine knit jumpers). Therefore can't compromise on the coat. My parka doesn't give the same 'sweeping elegantly into a bar' effect 
There's a chance I'm over-thinking this.
