If you follow these shopping tips right now, you’ll find the perfect investment piece whilst saving money!

What to Look For When Buying a Wrap Coat

Here are my recommendations for beautiful wrap coats that will last you for years to come!

Wrap Coats

1. Wrap Coat Fit

Try and find a wrap coat that feels like a great fit. Don't sacrifice comfort by choosing a style that doesn’t feel great to wear.

2. Fabric Content

Look for coats made with more wool and cashmere, and less man-made fibers.

We want the wrap coat to last a long time and look luxurious, so we want to make sure it’s made with beautiful, natural fibers where possible.

3. The Wrap Coat Length

Choose the length that best fit your lifestyle; I love the a knee length coat because you can wear it with pants and dresses.

4. Look At The Coat Finishing

Make sure your coat is made beautifully with attention to the finer details.

Check if the lining falls nicely and make sure there are no threads hanging off.

5. Coat Color

You could look for a classic neutral color like camel/tan.

Or… if you’re feeling adventurous, you could choose a colored neutral like burgundy or dark green, based on your own color palette .

6 The Coat Details

Think about how you would like your coat to feel.

A shawl collar has a feminine and elegant feel, when compared to a notch collar.

A coat needs pockets, so you can think about what style you’d like these to be. Patched pockets are more sporty. But in-seam pockets would be perfect for an elegant clean look.

A wrap coat can also come with different styles of ‘trims.’

This is where you can add your personality!

Some coats come with faux leather trims and others have bolder details that make a style statement.
