The perfect winter coat does so much more than just keep you warm! It’s a layer that has the power to pull your whole outfit together, making as much impact as a well-chosen handbag or necklace. But how do you pick one that adds to your outfit, as opposed to looking like something you picked off the pile?
At Verge, our women’s coat collection includes styles for different outfits and occasions. From shorter layers that add structure to longer layers that soften the look, it’s a matter of finding the best match for how you dress and live.
Cropped Coat or Jacket
Length: Sits at the waist or just below.
Features: Short, cropped jackets are a great lightweight option and can come in a boxy or more tailored shape, depending on the cut.
Styling Tips: Cropped coats work particularly well with high-waisted tailored women’s pants or an a-line skirt, as the proportions balance to create an hourglass shape.
Hip-Length Coat or Jacket
Length: Falls at or just below the hip.
Features: Hip-length coats offer a bit more coverage while still being easy to pair with most of your wardrobe.
Styling Tips: If you want one coat that goes with every pair of bottoms you own, opt for hip-length. A versatile jacket that flatters most body shapes, it’s a great option if you want one coat that does it all.
Mid-Thigh Coat or Jacket
Length: Sits around mid-thigh.
Features: Mid-thigh coats offer a little more warmth and coverage without feeling heavy, making them a comfortable middle ground choice.
Styling Tips: Easy to layer over both casual and more structured outfits. Pair with tailored pants or keep the look casual with your favourite denim.
Knee-Length Coat or Jacket
Length: Falls to or just above the knee.
Features: Knee-length coats, such as trench coats, have a slightly longer line, which offers more coverage and lends a more polished feel to an outfit.
Styling Tips: Like hip-length coats, knee-length coats suit most body shapes and can be dressed up or down to suit the occasion. Pair yours with dresses or skirts for a more elegant look, or with jeans for something more casual.
