Choosing outerwear for the fall-winter season deserves special attention. This season, runways are filled with short coats, the ideal outerwear for transitional weather.

There are plenty of variations: ultra-short, oversized with sloping shoulders, fitted, with accentuated shoulder lines, or straight cut – short coats add versatility to any wardrobe.

Basic black models dominate the fall-winter season. However, it’s worth paying attention to milky, blue, and deep green shades. Miu Miu and Valentino even offer decorated options, adding a playful twist to this staple without replacing the full-length, below-the-knee classic.

A short coat pairs wonderfully with relaxed jeans or trousers and dresses and skirts of any length. This outerwear piece will keep you warm on a cool autumn evening and complement a casual suit for the office. High-contrasting gloves are the perfect finishing touch.
