Sweater Coats FAQs

What is a sweater coat?

A sweater coat is a versatile piece of outerwear that combines the warmth and comfort of a sweater with the structure and coverage of a coat. It's typically longer in length, ranging from mid-thigh to knee-length, and is crafted from a variety of materials, including wool, cashmere, or knit blends.

How should a sweater coat fit?

A sweater coat for women should fit comfortably and flatteringly, with the sleeves ending at the wrist and the overall length reaching your mid-thigh or knee. It should drape nicely over the body without appearing too tight or oversized, allowing for ease of movement while maintaining a sleek silhouette. When trying on a sweater coat, ensure that the shoulders fit well and there's enough room to layer comfortably underneath.
