Plus size women's jackets & coats
The women's plus size coat is chosen for the season and the cut: long wool coat for winter, mid-season jacket, trench coat, denim jacket, blazer for the office. A straight or slightly fitted cut complements generous shapes.
A straight long coat elongates the silhouette and keeps you warm.
Which plus size coat to choose?
The long coat in wool, straight or slightly fitted, is the warm and elegant piece for winter. The mid-length coat, stopping at the knee, is suitable for trousers as well as a dress. The pea coat, short and double-breasted, has a nautical look. For really cold weather, the puffer jacket and parka take over.
Mid-season jackets
In spring and autumn, the mid-season jacket is enough: a light trench that protects from the rain, a denim jacket for the weekend, a blazer for the office, a light quilted jacket. It can be worn open over a thin sweater or a shirt.
Which cut is best for a curvy silhouette?
A straight or slightly fitted cut that falls without being tight works for all shapes. A belted coat highlights the waist. A V-neck or lapel elongates the torso. Avoid overly bulky coats, as they add width.
What length to choose?
A long coat, falling below the knee, elongates the silhouette and protects the legs from the cold. A mid-length model suits all outfits. A short jacket can be worn with a high-waisted trouser or a dress.
How to choose the right size
Try it on with a sweater: the coat should fasten without pulling on the buttons and allow you to lift your arms. The sleeves should stop at the wrist. Measure your bust and hips: a long coat should also fit around the hips.
How to wear a plus size coat?
Open over a monochrome outfit to elongate the figure, belted to emphasise the waist, with a long scarf that creates a vertical line. A camel or black coat matches with the entire wardrobe.
How to maintain a coat?
A wool coat should be brushed after each wear and cleaned at the dry cleaners. A denim jacket can be washed inside out at 30 °C. Hang coats on a wide hanger to maintain the shoulder shape.
Puffer jackets and parkas for the freezing cold
When it freezes, check out the plus size puffers and plus size parkas, which are warmer than a wool coat. Two pieces of winter.

Frequently asked questions
What coat is best for rain?
A trench or a waterproof jacket with a hood. Wool is sensitive to heavy rain: a water-resistant trench replaces it during mid-season.
How to know if a coat is too small?
If it pulls at the buttons, is uncomfortable when raising your arms, or closes badly with a sweater. Go for a larger size.
How to store your coat in summer?
Clean, on a wide hanger, in a breathable fabric cover. A few cedar chips or a sprig of lavender keep moths away.
What colour coat to choose?
Black, camel, and navy go with everything. A bright colour livens up a sober outfit.
Should you take a size up?
No, but try it on with a thick sweater. If it feels tight, a larger size is necessary.
