"The plain, dark wool long coats that me and everyone else wore last winter are now joined by bold checks, full-length faux furs and long leather coats So it's bye bye to knee-length coats, for now. Jackets are still fine, because that's a totally different set of rules. But if you are wearing a Proper Coat, it should be well below your knees. The dapper, sharp, Crombie-esque knee length coat is to be relegated to the attic for now."
"I mean, there are a thousand and one ways to tie a scarf or curate your necklaces or layer your knitwear and I fully intend to bend your ear about all of them over the coming months but at a pinch you could follow this single dictum, ignore absolutely all of the rest of it and be good to go."
Long coats are the dominant outerwear choice this season, with full-length silhouettes conveying immediate style authority. Coats that reach almost to the ankles or well below the knees create a knowledgeable, put-together impression before the face is visible. Knee-length Crombie-style coats have fallen out of favor and are being replaced by bold checks, full-length faux furs, long leather coats and plain dark wool versions carried over from last winter. Jackets remain acceptable under a separate set of rules, but Proper Coats should be decisively long rather than knee-length. Coat length functions as a clear fashion tell.
