Plus Size Quilted Tipped Long Coat

Diamond quilting runs across the entire shell in a large-scale pattern, giving the coat its visual weight and structure without adding bulk to the silhouette. A matching self-belt with eyelet buckle fastening cinches at the waist - it's the detail that transforms this from a straightforward padded coat into something with a defined shape. The high funnel collar sits close to the neck, offering genuine wind protection while keeping the front profile clean and upright. Contrast tipping traces the seams and pocket edges, adding a quiet tailoring reference that lifts the coat above standard outerwear. Two patch pockets sit low on the front, their tipped trim echoing the seam detailing - practical in depth and considered in placement. Cut to a midi length of approximately 125cm, it falls well below the knee, with enough volume in the body to layer comfortably over knitwear or tailored trousers. The belted waist is what sets this coat apart from the quilted styles that tend to hang shapeless through the body. Fasten the buckle and the coat immediately reads as intentional - structured rather than purely functional. It falls to a midi length that pairs well with knee-high boots, as the model demonstrates, creating a clean, continuous line from waist to foot. Wear it over wide-leg trousers and a fine-knit rollneck for a Saturday in the city, or layer it over a tailored midi dress for a smarter daytime occasion. The contrast tipping means it holds its own as an outfit piece rather than simply sitting on top of one. For travel or weekday dressing, the patch pockets are deep enough to be genuinely useful. This is a coat that works hardest when the belt is tied - loose, it reads relaxed; belted, it carries a polish that suits Karen Millen's considered approach to everyday dressing.
