Women's Natural Textured Faux Fur Short Coat

The oversized shawl collar is the defining detail here - it sits wide across the shoulders and folds back softly, framing the face with considerable volume and presence. Boxy fit with a cropped hem at approximately 59cm, so it sits just at the hip and works particularly well with high-waisted trousers or wide-leg cuts. The textured faux fur is cut in directional sections across the body, giving the coat a structured, deliberate look rather than an all-over shaggy finish. Fully lined for a clean drop over knitwear and layering pieces without pulling or bunching underneath. The open-front silhouette means the coat drapes rather than fastens, letting it fall naturally from the shoulders and adding to the relaxed, boxy shape. A coat like this earns its place on a weekend gallery visit, a city lunch, or an evening dinner where the dress code is smart but the mood is unhurried. The boxy cut and cropped length mean it layers cleanly over a fitted ribbed roll-neck - exactly as the model wears it here - with wide-leg tailored trousers and a slim belt at the waist to anchor the proportions. That combination keeps the volume intentional rather than overwhelming. For a more relaxed daytime look, wear it open over straight-leg jeans and a fine-knit jumper, letting the coat do the work. The shawl collar sits best when left to fall naturally rather than pinned or tucked in, so resist the urge to fiddle with it. This is a piece that asks for simple, well-considered dressing underneath - the more pared back the layers, the more impact the coat carries. | Karen Millen Textured Faux Fur Short Coat in Ivory | Size 10 Colour: natural
