Principles Wallis Waisted 3 Button Midi Coat

Wool-look fabric that insulates and breathes naturally, holding its sharp structure from shoulder to hem without stiffening or losing its shape across a full day's wear. Three oversized buttons sit off-centre down the front, creating an asymmetric fastening line that draws the eye straight to the defined waist seam beneath. The waisted cut is the defining detail here - a pronounced seam cinches just above the hip, giving the long midi length a clear silhouette rather than a straight column. Wide notch lapels lie flat and structured, giving the neckline a tailored authority that holds its own without a scarf or collar underneath. Midi length falls to the lower calf, sitting long enough to layer over wide-leg trousers or a dress without bunching or riding up. The wool-look fabric has a cool, smooth handfeel and a soft drape that skims the body - it moves with you rather than sitting stiffly, while still projecting a well-put-together outline. That balance of structure and ease is what makes this coat work so well as an everyday piece. The waisted seam does the shaping work, so it reads as considered and polished without demanding a particular outfit underneath. As shown, wide-leg dark denim and ankle boots sit beautifully beneath the midi hem - the coat's length and the trouser's width feel proportionally matched. For a weekend gallery visit or a family lunch out, layer it over a simple knit and tailored trousers for a complete look that needs nothing added. Come spring, the same coat worn over a midi dress with flat ankle boots shifts the whole feel toward something lighter without losing its inherent refinement. | Debenhams Principles By Wallis Waisted 3 Button Midi Coat In Olive
