Petite Funnel Neck Coat

The high funnel neck sits close to the throat, offering genuine coverage and warmth without the bulk of a scarf - a detail that sets this coat apart from a standard lapel style. Double-breasted button fastening runs the full length of the front, giving the coat a structured, polished front that holds its shape throughout the day. A self-tie belt cinches neatly at the waist, allowing you to define your silhouette or leave it loose for a more relaxed drape - the coat works both ways. Cut to a maxi length, the hem falls close to the ankle, giving the coat a commanding, floor-skimming presence that reads as thoroughly considered rather than casual. Proportioned specifically for a petite frame, the sleeve length, shoulder placement and overall line are calibrated so nothing overwhelms or shortens the figure. This coat sits at the top of a wardrobe rather than filling a gap in it. The length and double-breasted front mean it works hardest over tailored trousers and a silk blouse for the office, where it arrives and departs with the kind of quiet authority that a shorter style simply cannot match. The funnel neck removes the need for additional layering around the throat, so the overall look stays clean and unfussy. As seen on the model, knee-high heeled boots worn beneath the maxi hem sharpen the silhouette considerably - a heel, even a modest one, makes the most of the coat's length. For evening, loosen the belt and let the coat fall open over a fitted dress. At weekends, it layers just as well over a fine-knit jumper and straight-leg trousers, belted firmly for a more defined shape. The structured body means it keeps its line whether you're commuting, heading to a smart lunch, or stepping into a formal occasion. | Wallis Women's Petite Funnel Neck Coat in Camel | Size: 10
