It started with the spring shows that revisited the concept of effortless coats; Calvin Klein showed languid versions for day that quickly trickled into the musings of famous streetstylers, while designers like Mary Kate and Ashley of The Row reinvent it each season. This notion of a coat is perfect for all hours of the day, light enough for summer yet warm enough for that evening chill. Here’s why this elevated cover up is our weekend essential.
Opt for volume, these variations double as short jackets and can add an instant cool to a simple shopping weekend. Pair with light dresses for insta-appeal.
Could there be anything more advantageous than a multifunctional garment? Whether you’re reclining at the beach club with a good book or enjoying the fresh air as you waltz into your favourite café. Try wrapping vintage belts or silk sashes across your light cover-up to double it as a dress, but keep in mind that your coat should be lightweight and knee-length to avoid any unwanted surprises.
Elevate the look of a casual cover-up by opting for its luxurious alternate in silken fabric. These ingenious variations can offer edgier alternatives to evening soirées when paired with gowns.
