Women's Black Faux Fur Oversize Collar Belted Short Coat

Oversized faux fur collar folds dramatically away from the neckline, sitting wide across the shoulders and framing a deep V-front - the coat's most defining detail and the one that sets it apart from a standard fur-effect style. Cut short at approximately 90cm, the coat sits at the hip rather than the thigh, making it easy to layer over both slim-cut trousers and midi skirts without adding bulk below the waist. A wide, gold-buckle belt cinches the waist over the faux fur, giving a coat of considerable volume a sharp, defined silhouette rather than letting it wear the wearer. The sleeves are long and full, carrying the same deep pile as the body - they hang with a satisfying weight and move as one piece rather than riding up at the cuff. Regular fit through the body means there is room to layer underneath without the coat pulling across the back - a practical consideration that doesn't compromise the overall line. Dry clean only; faux fur may shed lightly - worth noting before pairing with dark, fine-knit pieces worn beneath. The proportions here are deliberate: a short, belted hem paired with an exaggerated collar creates a top-heavy silhouette that draws the eye upward and elongates the leg. That contrast between volume at the top and a nipped-in waist is what makes this coat work as a standalone statement rather than just outerwear. Worn as the model shows - over sleek leather trousers with a structured clutch - it reads as a considered, put-together evening look that requires little else. For daytime, it pairs equally well with tailored wide-leg trousers and a fine-gauge roll-neck tucked underneath, letting the coat carry the occasion. The belt is key: remove it and the silhouette relaxes into something more casual; keep it cinched and the coat holds its own at a winter event, a theatre evening, or any occasion where the entrance matters as much as the outfit itself. | Karen Millen Faux Fur Oversize Collar Belted Short Coat in Chocolate | Size 12 Colour: black
