The Karen Millen Belted High Neck Short Coat is designed for the modern adult woman seeking a sharp, architectural outerwear piece that bridges the gap between formal office wear and evening elegance. Crafted from premium wool, this coat offers a tailored fit that provides structure to the shoulders and torso while remaining comfortable enough for layering over knitwear. One key caveat to consider is that the tailored, structured fit requires careful sizing to ensure it allows for optimal comfort when wearing bulkier sweaters underneath.

Yes, the coat is cut with enough ease to allow for layering over knitwear, though standard-weight layers are recommended to maintain the tailored silhouette.
Due to the wool material, this coat should only be dry cleaned by a professional.
Yes, the buckle-fastened collar is designed to be worn in multiple ways, either folded open or buckled up close to the neck.
The coat measures approximately 80cm in length, generally landing just above the knee.
The coat is made from wool, which provides good natural warmth, but it is best suited for autumn and mild winter weather or as a secondary layer.
Yes, it features flap pockets positioned low on the front panels for a structured and functional look.
Gently manipulate the flap by folding and unfolding it several times to help the fabric relax without forcing the hardware.
Use a fabric shaver or a wool comb specifically designed for garments to gently remove surface fuzz, taking care not to pull at the weave.
Check the underside of the button placket periodically; if a thread begins to loosen, reinforce it with a matching thread before the button detaches.
To maintain the architectural integrity of the wool fabric and the structure of the tailored shoulders, professional dry cleaning is strictly recommended. Avoid machine washing or tumble drying, as this will compromise the wool fibers and the shape of the coat. When storing, always use a sturdy, wide-shouldered hanger to prevent the fabric from sagging or losing its tailored definition. Because the coat is designed to sit away from the body with specific ease, it is compatible with medium-weight knitwear and blouses; however, extremely oversized or thick chunky-knit sweaters may disrupt the tailored lines at the shoulder. If the coat becomes wrinkled, a light steam from a distance is preferred over direct ironing to protect the texture of the wool.
