Why you need a transitional coat
Between seasons, breathable, layer-friendly coats keep you comfortable. Look for lighter wool blends or treated fabrics with partial linings to balance warmth and airflow.
Layering moves
- Over tees and light knits for cool mornings.
- With blazers for office commutes.
- Over dresses to add structure without weight.
Fit and length
Mid-thigh is versatile; ensure enough sleeve room for a thin sweater. Soft shoulders keep it relaxed, while a slight waist shape maintains polish.
Care
Steam, spot clean, hang properly. Use a fabric brush to keep the surface smooth. Air after rainy days to dry fully.
