• Maxi length cut that grazes the ankle - proportioned specifically for a petite frame so the hem lands exactly where it should without any need for alterations.
• The oversized lapel collar is the standout detail here: it folds back generously and frames the neckline in a way that reads vintage-inspired rather than costume-y.
• Faux fur with a longer, multi-tonal pile that catches the light and moves with you - it drapes from the shoulders with a relaxed, slightly voluminous silhouette rather than sitting stiff.
• Button fastening down the front keeps the front face clean, allowing the coat to be worn open and draped or pulled closed for warmth.
• Side pockets sit flush within the fur pile - practical without interrupting the coat's smooth, sweeping line from shoulder to hem.

This coat does the heavy lifting for an entire outfit. Throw it over a black bandeau top and wide-leg trousers - exactly as styled here - and the coat becomes the whole look. The maxi length means it works just as well over a slip dress for a night out as it does over jeans for a weekend in town. The vintage-inspired silhouette gives it a retro edge that sits naturally alongside both dressed-up and dressed-down pieces, so it earns its place at the front of the wardrobe rather than being saved for one occasion. For evenings out, pair with block-heel mules or strappy heels to keep the petite proportions balanced. During the day, chunky trainers underneath the wide-leg trouser hem give it a more relaxed, off-duty feel. The generous lapel means a scarf is optional - fold it open and let the collar do the work against the cold.
