There are three women who exemplify the power an oversized winter coat possesses in your revenge dressing wardrobe. That is; Carrie Bradshaw, Carmela Soprano and Kendall Jenner.

The latter has made the silhouette an indispensable element of her post-breakup wardrobe.  The supermodel has been frequenting the exclusive snow town of Aspen this past week. In turn, she delivered a slew of enviable Après-ski chic ensembles featuring none other than opulent outerwear. (Including Phoebe Philo’s AUD$40,250 tri-colour hand-painted fur coat from her eponymous debut collection).

But after the news broke that the 818 Tequila founder had secretly split up from Bad Bunny a few weeks ago, the procession of extravagant cold-weather essentials can only mean she’s introducing this modest staple into the lexicon of payback attire.

Though Princess Diana set the benchmark for this sartorial mode in 1994 with her off-the-shoulder black silk Christina Stambolian evening gown, Jenner is proving that you can eschew sensuality and still get the attention of your ex-partner.

In an attempt to quell the narrative around her split from the Puerto Rican rapper, Jenner stepped out for a dinner date with Hailey and Justin Bieber. While walking to Catch Steakhouse, Jenner was spotted trying her hand at winter whites in a tie-up shearling trench.

The Rhode Beauty founder followed suit in a grey Ferragamo coat, continuing her penchant for the legacy Italian Maison after wearing a string of their new season looks while in Los Angeles.

Neither Jenner nor Bunny, whose real name is Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio, have addressed the split. Sources reportedly close to the former couple claimed the pair simply “fizzled out”.

“Kendall and Bad Bunny have been doing their own things lately, and things slowly started to fizzle out between them,” a source explained. “They both knew going into this that it likely wouldn’t be a forever type of relationship, and that was mutually understood from the get-go,” they added. “They have crazy busy schedules and know they’re still young and have a lot more to experience individually before settling down.”
