The new coat shape? Shapeless – in a glamourous way, of course. At the couture shows in cool weather, all the fashion editors have been eschewing their furs for excesses of material and voluminous folds. The look of the blanket coat is not for shrinking violets, but it’s incredibly stylish – and the silhouette of the moment.
Resisting because you’re not the size of the average model? Blanket coats are actually cleverly arranged not to look tent-like, but we’ve also included some choices that suit women with waists, busts and/or broad shoulders. The cape look is the defining look of the 2014 winter, and you don’t have to miss out because of your body shape.
So get wrapped up in a blanket coat – and prepare to sweep dramatically out of every room.
