Wool And Faux Leather High Neck Collar Short Coat

Faux leather trim runs along the shoulders and down the sleeves, adding a sharp contrast in texture against the wool body - the detail that sets this coat apart from any standard short coat. The high neck collar sits with real volume and presence, folding back into a wide, structured lapel that frames the neckline without requiring a scarf. Wool mix fabric that insulates and breathes naturally, holding its shape through the body of the coat rather than softening out over wear. Silver-tone hardware at the cuffs fastens the wide cuff tabs, giving the sleeve a considered, finished look rather than a casual rolled hem. Cut to approximately 90cm in length - short enough to sit above the knee and work over wide-leg trousers without bulk, long enough to feel intentional rather than cropped. The coat opens with an easy, unbelted silhouette that relies on the wool's natural structure to hold its form. It doesn't pull in at the waist, which means it moves well and layers comfortably over tailoring or knitwear. The faux leather panelling keeps it from reading as a straightforward classic coat - there's a harder edge to it that shifts the whole look. The model wears it over a fitted shirt and wide-leg suede trousers with a slim leather belt, which is a strong way to wear it: the belt anchors the outfit beneath the coat rather than over it, letting the coat's own lines do the work. Try it with tailored wide-leg trousers and a fine-knit rollneck for a polished evening out, or over a shirt dress for a client lunch where the occasion calls for something more considered than a standard blazer. The short length makes it particularly well-suited to those who want structure without weight.
