All the men in the world won’t all pick the same coat just like you won’t pick the same ( kinda) boyfriend. Some people like long heavy wool coats and others, light-weight and easy-to-carry coats, just as some would prefer Tom Hardy rather than Leonardo DiCaprio.
You think you might as well get a cheap one, what’s the difference right? Do you want a cheap boyfriend too? Picking out a coat is just like choosing your boyfriend, if it won’t affect you for your whole life at least will affect you for 3 month, more or less.
