COATS

Merging streamlined tailoring with clean-lined silhouettes, this season’s collection of women’s coats include classic, elongated forms and avant-garde proportions that effortlessly complete any ensemble. Menswear-inspired styles are updated with feminine tailoring like hourglass contours, curved seams, and strong shoulders lending to a modern point-of-view on powerhouse outerwear. Humorous volumes challenge traditional suiting further, with atypical detailing and waist-defining silhouettes that transform iconic peacoats or double-breasted styles into playfully refined options for layering. Wraparound or offset buttoned and zip closures prove to be a popular theme among designers and as advancements in technology continue to produce the highest-quality, eco-conscious alternatives so is the favoring of luxe faux-fur construction. While saturated coloring reigns, dark crushed velvet or satin styles appear as well - providing a suitable base for gothic-influences. Avant-garde ideas are showcased through modified stand collars, ruffled or scalloped trim, and panelled cape-style coats. Playful bathrobe-inspired styles in satin, silk, or wool fleece iterations come with warm quilted lining and self-tie fastenings ensuring a comfort level that suits any woman’s wardrobe.
