Faux Fur & Quilted Padded Mix Short Coat

The faux fur trim runs the full length of the front opening, across the collar, and down both sleeves - it's voluminous and sweeps outward when worn, giving the coat real presence without bulk at the body. Diamond-quilted panels sit at the chest and back, visible through the open fur front - the contrast between the structured quilting and the loose, textured fur is the coat's defining detail. Cut to a cropped, hip-grazing length of approximately 55cm, so it sits neatly above the waist and works proportionally with both high-waisted trousers and midi skirts. The deep, fur-lined collar frames the face and can be worn open or pulled close around the neck for a more cocooned silhouette. Nylon outer shell keeps the coat lightweight relative to its visual weight - it doesn't drag on the shoulders despite the generous fur trim. Regular fit through the body with a lining for easy layering over knitwear or a fitted roll-neck. The quilted body gives this coat its practicality; the faux fur gives it its authority. Worn together, they produce something that reads as considered rather than costumey - the quilting grounds the fur's drama and keeps the overall silhouette sharp. The coat moves with a slight swing at the hem, and the fur at the cuffs has a natural, unset quality that adds softness without looking overdone. On the model, it's paired with sleek leather trousers, which is the most direct way to wear it - the clean line of a leather or faux-leather trouser lets the coat do the talking. For a more refined occasion, layer it over a fitted polo-neck and tailored wide-leg trousers with pointed-toe heels. It's equally at home over a slip dress for an evening out, where the contrast of the quilted nylon against something more delicate makes for an intentional, well-put-together combination. Dry clean only; note that faux fur may shed with wear. | Karen Millen Women's Faux Fur & Quilted Padded Mix Short Coat in Chocolate | Size: 10
