From Cropped to Full-Length: A Guide to Winter Coat Styles
To help you simplify your winter clothing choices, we’ve put together a guide to different styles of women’s coats—so you can easily find what works best with your clothing and personal style.
Short length coat
Short hip-length coats feature a contemporary, chic silhouette that’s right on trend. Ending at or just below the hip, they add a casual, playful edge to any winter outfit.
Fully lined marle coat: This fully lined short-length coat features a collar, button-front closure, classic collar, long sleeves, and stylish flap pockets. Available in rich indigo and vibrant berry—perfect for adding a pop of colour to your winter clothing.
Fully lined Short Coat MULTI CHECK - Similar in style with the other one, this fully lined short-length coat comes in a beautiful check design—featuring a mix of base and check colours that bring a fresh, eye-catching twist to your winter clothing.
Mid-Length Coat
Mid-length coats fall gracefully from mid-thigh to just below the knee, striking the perfect balance between style and practicality. Often designed with single or double-breasted fronts and notched lapels, they’re true all-rounders. Offering great coverage without limiting movement, this style is ideal for everyday wear.

Full-length Coat

With lengths extending to the calf or ankle, these styles—especially those with a single-breasted front and classic notched lapel—exude timeless elegance while offering maximum warmth. It’s the ultimate go-to coat for formal events or anytime you want to add a touch of drama to your winter look.
Lined Longe Marle Coat: These long coats are a true classic—featuring a clean, plain design with a button front, lapel collar, and patch pockets. Available in versatile charcoal and oatmeal, they pair effortlessly with any winter clothing.
Lined Long Coat Check: Another classic long coat, but with added flair. While it shares the same timeless features as the plain version, this style stands out with its check patterns—bringing extra character and visual interest to your winter look.
Coat Styling Guide: Outfit Ideas & Tips to Elevate Your Look
Many of us tend to throw on a long coat and head out the door—but if you’re ready to refresh your look, we’ve curated some stylish new ways to wear your coat with a fresh fashion-forward twist this winter season!
1. Atheleisure Luxe Fusion
Pair your mid-length coat with elevated athleisure. Think tailored, cargo pants, a sleek mock-neck jumper or longsleeve, and chunky sneakers. The coat instantly polishes the sporty elements, creating an effortlessly cool and comfortable ensemble perfect for weekend brunches or airport chic.

2. Playing with Texture in Similar Shades
Create a sleek, pulled-together look by layering pieces in similar shades—think graphite, charcoal, and black. It’s not about going fully monochrome, but rather playing within the same colour family.

The key is mixing textures—knit, wool, and leather—to add depth and interest to your outfit while keeping the colour palette cohesive.
3. Playing with Proportions: The Maxi Contrast Look
Swap out jeans or short skirts and layer your hip-length coat over a flowing maxi dress or a sleek knit maxi skirt-and-top set. The cropped structure of the coat paired with the sweeping length of the maxi creates a bold, fashion-forward contrast. This play on proportions draws the eye vertically, adding instant sophistication.

4. The “Deconstructed Suit” Look
Layer your short coat over tailored wide-leg trousers —ideally in a complementary colour or subtle print—and pair it with a fitted turtleneck or jersey/jumper. The coat acts as your structured top half, creating a modern, slightly undone twist on traditional suiting. The result? A look that’s equal parts professional and fashion-forward, perfect for the office or elevated everyday wear.

5. Wearing Your Coat as a Dress
Transform your plain long coat into a statement dress by cinching it at the waist with a bold, wide belt over a sleeveless base layer. Finish the look with block-heel ankle boots. It’s sleek, unexpected, and effortlessly chic—ideal for days when you want to channel polished elegance with minimal effort.

6. "Pattern Play" with a Checked Long Coat
Don’t be afraid to mix patterns! If your long coat features a bold check, layer it over subtler, complementary prints—like pinstripe trousers, a delicate floral blouse (as long as the colours align) The secret to pulling it off? Choose patterns that differ in scale or type but stay within a cohesive colour palette. The result is a sophisticated, intentional clash that feels both bold and beautifully balanced.
