Long Houndstooth Wool-Look Coat

My mum says it reminds her of a coat she wore in the nineties. I wear it with plain black and boots and it looks so chic.

Over a plain dress at a November wedding, the ankle length houndstooth was dramatic and warm. People in the photos kept asking about it.

Ankle length houndstooth and suddenly I'm in a vintage film. Walking down the high street felt properly glamorous.

Ankle length is dramatic, but the hem grazes the ground with flat shoes, so I wear it with boots that have a heel.

The black and white houndstooth is proper classic and the wide lapel sits flat and sharp. It falls to my ankles, which feels very elegant over trousers.

Wore it to work over a knit and trousers; the relaxed shape means I can layer. The wool-look fabric felt warm and substantial on the cold walk from the station.

The wool-look cloth kept me warm on a freezing morning walk, and I flipped the wide lapel up against the wind.

A few creases when I unwrapped it; a steam got them out and now the coat is gorgeous.

Beautiful coat, but dry clean recommended makes me nervous about spills, so I keep it for dry days.

Layered a chunky knit underneath and still had room to spare. The houndstooth looks lovely against fairy lights.

Plain jeans, plain tee, this coat. Simple formula, and the houndstooth does all the work.

The long wool-look coat has some weight and I notice it on my shoulders after a long day. Lovely and warm though.
