Women's Black Faux Fur Oversize Collar Belted Short Coat

An oversized faux fur collar folds dramatically away from the neckline, framing the face and shoulders with real presence - it's the detail that carries the whole coat. Cut short and boxy in a regular fit, the coat sits just below the hip and the voluminous sleeves taper naturally, giving it a sculptural quality without feeling stiff. A structured belt with a gold-tone rectangular buckle cinches the waist over the fur, pulling the silhouette in and preventing the oversized cut from overwhelming the frame. The faux fur pile has a dense, directional finish that catches the light differently depending on how the coat moves - nothing flat or costume-like about it. Fully lined for a clean drop over whatever sits underneath, from a fine-knit rollneck to a tailored shirt. A coat like this earns its place at any occasion where arriving in something considered matters. The short length and belted waist mean it works over wide-leg tailored trousers - exactly as styled here - without any of the proportion issues that longer fur coats can bring. The collar does the talking, so the rest of the outfit can stay quiet: a fine-knit tucked into high-waisted trousers and a pointed-toe heel is all it takes. For an evening out, the same formula applies - swap the trousers for a sleek midi skirt and the coat becomes the whole look. It's the kind of piece that transitions seamlessly from a winter lunch to a theatre evening or a smart work event, worn with confidence rather than occasion-dressing effort. The belt is key - leave it off and the coat reads more relaxed; fasten it and the silhouette sharpens immediately. | Karen Millen Faux Fur Oversize Collar Belted Short Coat in Black | Size 6 Colour: black
