The Great Cover Up -  A Maxi Coat

The Perfect Cover Up

                

Women’s overcoats are reaching new Lows. They are sweeping ankles and floors and providing drama to one’s winter wardrobe. These great coats are not only a top trend but the perfect cover up for midi length dresses and skirts and long maxi dresses and pants. There are a variety of longer length coats in stores, some hitting between knees and ankles, some are ankle lengths and some numbers graze the floors.

Should these super long coats hit the floor? To be safe a maxi coat should not touch the floor. You might  trip or someone else might step on your sweeping  hemline.

Can all women wear a maxi coat? Tall women generally look great in longer length skirts and dresses and can wear these “statement” coats. Shorter women might not be able to pull off this look.

Can you wear maxi coats during the daytime? Yes they can be worn day or evening. Wear your maxi coat with high heel shoes or boots.
