Lydia | Women's Wool Button Front Long Coat

A long coat built for the colder months, cut with a tailored silhouette that flatters without clinging.

The Lydia is the coat Evelyn reaches for herself once the mornings turn crisp — a wool-look pea coat with a button front closure that fastens securely and sits well through the shoulders. It is the kind of ladies long coat you put on once and stop thinking about, because every part of it was designed to simply work.

Why You'll Love It

• Button front closure: a secure fastening at the front that is easy to manage with cold fingers, no fiddly hooks or hidden zips to fight with.
• Long sleeves, full coverage: sleeves that stay put through the day and keep the cold off your wrists where a shorter coat would leave you exposed.
• Tailored silhouette: a fitted shape through the body that still moves with you, so the coat looks neat whether you're sitting for tea or walking to the car.

Perfect For

This long winter coat earns its place at the front of the closet. Wear it over a knit sweater and trousers for errands around the neighbourhood, or layer it over a dress for something a little smarter — a lunch out, a family gathering, an afternoon at the theatre. The collared neckline and long coat length mean it reads as finished the moment you put it on, no scarf required, though it welcomes one happily on the colder days. It's equally at home over tailored wool trousers as it is over a simple pair of jeans, which is exactly why it earns its keep through the whole season rather than sitting unworn for weeks at a time.

Fit, Colour and Styling

How does it fit? The Lydia has a tailored silhouette, fitted enough to look polished but with room through the shoulders and sleeves to layer a sweater comfortably underneath.

Which colour should I choose? Navy and black are the easiest to build a wardrobe around, pairing with nearly everything you already own; burgundy and camel-toned shades add warmth to grey winter days without feeling like a departure from your usual palette.

What do I wear it with? Keep it simple underneath — a turtleneck, straight trousers, and a low boot let the coat itself do the talking. It also sits beautifully over a dress for days that call for a bit more polish.
