Women's Blue Fit & Flare Military Button Midi Coat

Double-breasted military front with two rows of burnished gold-tone buttons - the detailing runs from collar to hip and is the coat's defining statement. The silhouette is nipped sharply at the waist before the skirt flares out into a smooth A-line swing, giving the midi length real movement with every step. A woven fabric with a cool handfeel and a soft drape - it skims the body cleanly rather than clinging, and holds its shape through a full day's wear. Structured point collar sits flat and sharp against the neckline, adding to the tailored, put-together feel without needing a scarf or extra layering. Flap pockets sit at hip level, flush with the body so they don't interrupt the coat's clean lines from the front. The woven fabric has a smooth, cool handfeel that drapes with intention - it doesn't bunch at the waist or pull across the shoulders, which makes the fit-and-flare shape look deliberate rather than accidental. The midi length hits at a flattering point and moves well, making it as comfortable to wear on a long afternoon out as it is polished enough for occasions that call for a little more effort. Pair it as the model does - over knee-high boots with a structured tote - and it works effortlessly for a weekend brunch, a city stroll, or a baby shower where you want to look considered without being overdressed. The military button detail means it needs very little else: keep jewellery minimal, let the coat carry the look. A fine-knit roll-neck underneath adds warmth without bulk, and the structured collar holds its own whether the coat is worn fully buttoned or with the top button left open for a more relaxed feel. | Dorothy Perkins Women's Fit & Flare Military Button Midi Coat in Black | Size: 8 Colour: blue
