What makes a great everyday coat
The best coats balance warmth, weather resistance, and a clean silhouette that layers over knits and blazers. In our Coats collection you’ll find wool, water-resistant, and tailored styles built for commute-to-dinner versatility.
Fit and layering
- Shoulders: Soft structure; room for a light sweater.
- Length: Knee or mid-thigh for coverage without heaviness.
- Sleeves: Enough ease to layer; check cuff length at the wrist.
Fabric choices
Wool/wool-blend for warmth and drape; treated fabrics for water resistance; lined interiors for comfort. Lighter blends for fall; heavier for winter. For rain, consider water-resistant shells with breathable linings.
Styling ideas
- Work: Tailored coat over a blazer, ankle trousers, loafers.
- Weekend: Coat + denim, knit, and boots.
- Evening: Coat over a slip dress with heeled booties.
Care
Steam to refresh; spot clean; hang on wide hangers. Brush wool to remove lint; reapply waterproofer to treated fabrics as needed.
