Tips on how to wear a long coat: Buy the right fit that will flatter your body and not make you look frumpy. If you’re a short person and decide to wear a long coat we recommend pairing it with heels to elongate your legs otherwise opt for a short or medium length coat. Choose the right colour that will complement your skin colour. Avoid wearing long coats with maxi dresses/ skirts or slouchy pants as they tend to give your extra weight which I am sure you don’t need it. Long coats look perfect with knee length skirts or tight fighting pants/trousers.
