Classic and elegant with your peacoat
Although the peacoat was originally worn by sailors, it's a perfect match for a smart outfit. For a classic, elegant look, pair your peacoat with sophisticated pieces. A silk blouse or shirt with delicate detailing goes perfectly with pegged or cigarette trousers or a midi skirt. You can also wear your peacoat with a little black dress. On your feet, opt for ballet flats, moccasins or block heels. Complete your outfit with a silk scarf, a pretty leather handbag and discreet but elegant jewellery.
Casual chic with your peacoat
For a casual yet polished look, mix the peacoat with comfortable pieces. Pair it with well-cut jeans and opt for a woollen jumper or turtleneck and a white T-shirt or white shirt made from natural materials. You can also pair your peacoat with a trouser suit that sits close to the waist. Denim or leather jackets can be layered under the peacoat. Accessorise your wool peacoat with a wool scarf and a large tote bag. Don't hesitate to play with brighter tones or patterns, such as stripes, to add a fresh touch. Finally, for footwear, white trainers, suede ankle boots or derbies will do the trick.

Trendy and modern with your peacoat
For a trendy, modern look, wear your peacoat with classic, well-cut, quality pieces. A white shirt paired with a trouser suit, pencil skirt, pencil dress or wrap dress will create a professional ensemble. A shoulder bag and minimalist jewellery such as gold earrings, an elegant watch and a slim bracelet will complete the outfit. For footwear, we recommend classic pumps, leather loafers or heeled ankle boots.

What cut for your women's peacoat?
To wear your peacoat properly, it's essential to choose a style that's right for you. A peacoat that's too tight or too big can ruin your look. There are different types of peacoat, each with its own length and cut. Here are a few tips to help you choose the style that best suits your figure:
- Straight-cut peacoat: This style is ideal for elongating the figure without adding unnecessary volume. It is particularly suitable for small to medium-sized people. The straight cut creates a vertical line that gives the impression of height, while offering ample comfort and great freedom of movement.
- Slim-fit peacoat: This type of peacoat is perfect for those with a slim figure. The slim fit emphasises the waist and shoulders, emphasising the shape of the body in an elegant, structured way.
- Long peacoat: A longer peacoat can be advantageous for taller people. It balances out the length of the body and provides a feeling of protection against the cold.
