ARKIVO EDIT: The Coat Guide

This curated coat collection is designed to offer both style and function for the season, ensuring every outfit feels put-together, proportionate, and appropriate for work or casual occasions.

Long coats: These work beautifully with short skirts, long dresses, and tailored trousers, creating a sleek, elongating silhouette. Maxi or belted styles add structure and versatility, allowing you to wear them effortlessly over different lengths.

Short coats: Ideal for pairing with long dresses and skirts, short coats add shape and balance without overwhelming the outfit. They also work seamlessly with all types of trousers, offering comfort and polish for everyday wear.

Midi-length dressing tip: When styling a midi skirt or dress, opt either for a coat that matches the hemline or a longer coat to maintain proportion and harmony in the silhouette. This ensures your look stays elegant and balanced.

For warmth and durability, choose coats with a minimum of 60–70% wool blend. This blend ensures your coat not only performs well through the colder months but also retains its shape and longevity over multiple seasons.
