Women's Black Wool Belted High Neck Short Coat

The high neck is structured with a buckle-fastened collar flap that folds and sits asymmetrically - a detail that reads as architectural rather than decorative, and sets this coat apart from a standard double-breasted silhouette. Wool blend fabric that insulates without bulk, remains naturally breathable throughout the day, and holds its tailored shape wear after wear. Double-breasted button placket with dark tonal buttons running in a clean double row down the front, giving the coat a sharp, military-influenced finish. Flap pockets sit low on the front panels, adding a functional, structured detail that anchors the lower half of the coat. Cut to a tailored fit - defined through the shoulders and neatly shaped through the body - landing at approximately 80cm in length to sit just above the knee. The tailored cut here does something specific: it gives the coat the clean lines of a sharp blazer while the shortened length keeps the silhouette modern and unencumbered. It sits away from the body with enough ease to layer over knitwear without losing its shape. The buckle-fastened collar is the detail worth noting - it can be worn folded open or drawn up close to the neck, giving you two quite different looks from the same piece. The model wears it with sleek leather trousers, which works well to let the coat's structure lead. Equally, it sits with tailored wide-leg trousers and a fine-knit roll-neck for a considered daytime look, or belted at the waist over a midi dress for evening. This is a coat that transitions naturally from the office to a dinner reservation without any rethinking of the outfit beneath it. | Karen Millen Women's Wool Belted High Neck Short Coat in Black | Size: 6 Colour: black
