Button Down Collared Coat | Blush Pink / S 100100978972221

Overview

This button‑front collared coat blends clean tailoring with everyday ease — a wardrobe staple that dresses up jeans and finishes officewear with equal confidence. The silhouette is intentionally straightforward so it layers smoothly over knitwear or light suits and travels without demanding special handling. Ideal if you want a streamlined, low‑maintenance outer layer that reads both polished and practical.

Why consider it: it delivers structure at the shoulders and a neat button placket for a tidy front, while still being lightweight enough to move through transitional weather. If you want an easy all‑purpose coat that works from commute to weekend, this is a versatile choice.

Fabric & Materials — what polyester means for you

The shell is made from polyester, a widely used synthetic fiber known for strength, color retention and low-maintenance care. Polyester fibers are durable, resist wrinkling and dry quickly. Because the fabric is manufactured rather than harvested, it can be engineered with finishes — for example, anti‑pill finishes, water‑repellent treatments or brushed interiors — to change the hand and performance of the garment.

Notes on sustainability and performance: conventional polyester is produced from petrochemicals, but recycled alternatives (rPET) are common in modern outerwear. Polyester garments can release microfibers during washing; using a fine‑mesh laundry bag or a filter reduces that shedding. At end of life, look for recycling programs or textile take‑back options.

Fabric advantages — pros

• Durable and abrasion resistant — holds shape through frequent wear.
• Highly colorfast — resists fading so colors stay bright longer.
• Wrinkle‑resistant and quick to dry — minimal ironing required, travel friendly.
• Affordable and easy to care for compared with many natural fibers.
• Can accept performance finishes (water repellency, anti‑pill) during production.

Fabric limitations — cons

• Less breathable than natural fibers — can feel warm or clammy in higher activity.
• Tendency to develop static and occasional pilling if exposed to friction.
• Environmental concerns: non‑biodegradable unless recycled, and potential microfiber release in washes.
• Doesn’t have the same natural warmth-to-weight or luxury hand as wool or cashmere.

How to measure — product & body (step‑by‑step)

To choose the best size, compare your body measurements to the product’s size chart. Measure both your body and a coat you already own for the most accurate comparison.

Measuring your body

• Bust/Chest: Wrap the tape around the fullest part of your chest with arms relaxed at your sides. Keep the tape parallel to the floor.
• Shoulder width: Measure across the back from the outer edge of one shoulder to the outer edge of the other (where the shoulder seam of a well‑fitting jacket would sit).
• Sleeve length: With your arm slightly bent, measure from the shoulder point (where a seam would sit) down to the wrist bone.
• Coat length preference: Measure from the base of your neck (at the center back) to the point where you want the hem to fall.

Measuring a flat garment (if you have a jacket to compare)

• Chest across: Lay the coat flat and measure from underarm seam to underarm seam, then double that number for full chest width.
• Shoulder seam to seam: Measure across the back from one shoulder seam to the other.
• Sleeve: Measure from the shoulder seam down to the cuff.
• Full length: Measure from the center back neckline to the hem.

How much ease to allow (guideline)

• Snug/close fit: body measurement + 0–1 inch (for a tailored look).
• Everyday/standard fit: body measurement + 2–3 inches (room for blouse or light knit).
• Layering/oversized look: body measurement + 4–6 inches (allow for thicker sweaters).

Key tip: prioritize the shoulder measurement for non‑stretch outerwear — a tight shoulder cannot be corrected by choosing a larger size in other dimensions.

Model & fit reference

Product photography for similar coats typically shows a mid‑thigh to just‑above‑knee silhouette on models around average modeling heights. That imagery is meant to show how the coat drapes with light layers underneath. If you prefer a fitted, tailored look, choose the size that gives 1–2 inches of ease at the chest; if you plan to wear bulky sweaters, select the size that gives at least 3–4 inches of ease.

How it should sit: the shoulder seam should sit at the outer edge of your shoulder; sleeves should reach the wrist bone with your arms relaxed. If the shoulders feel tight when you move your arms forward, consider sizing up rather than relying on bust room alone.

Color & styling combinations

Without knowing the exact colorway you’re viewing, here are universal pairing strategies that work with most coat colors:

• Neutral shades (black, navy, camel, gray): pair with crisp whites, denim, leather accessories and tonal knitwear for a timeless, office‑ready look.
• Earth tones (olive, brown, rust): combine with cream, denim and warm metallic accessories — great with booties or rugged loafers.
• Bold or jewel tones: let the coat be the focal point and keep underlayers neutral, or create contrast with complementary scarves and shoes.
• Monochrome styling: wear the coat over a single‑color outfit for a modern, elongating effect; break the look with a statement shoe or bag.

Accessory ideas: structured leather bag and loafers for work; white sneakers and a knit beanie for casual days; ankle boots and a silk scarf for evenings out.

Style & versatility

The classic collared, button‑front construction gives a polished profile that transitions between smart and casual. Wear it closed for a minimalist, tailored appearance; wear it open for a relaxed layered look. The collar can be popped for wind protection or layered beneath a scarf for extra warmth. Add a belt to define the waist and convert the coat into a more feminine silhouette.

Season suitability

• Best for: spring and fall (ideal as a mid‑layer when temperatures are variable).
• Cooler winter strategy: use this coat over a warm sweater or wear a thin insulated liner underneath for extra warmth; for very cold climates, combine with a heavy winter coat.
• Not ideal for: high heat summer days — the fabric traps some warmth and is better suited to cooler weather.

Care tips & fit notes

Quick care tips

• Wash with like colors; close buttons before laundering to protect the placket.
• Turn the coat inside out to reduce abrasion and fading on the face fabric.
• Prefer gentle cycles and low temperatures; avoid high heat when drying to preserve shape.
• Use a fabric shaver on any minor pills, and a lint roller to remove surface dust/particles.
• Use a cool iron or steam from a distance to remove wrinkles; always test an inconspicuous area first.

Fit notes

• Because the fabric has limited mechanical stretch, a correct shoulder fit is critical — if in doubt, size up for more movement.
• Shorter torsos may find the coat hits lower on the thigh; consider the garment length when choosing size.
• If you want the coat to layer over thick sweaters, choose a size that provides additional chest and sleeve ease.

Care guide — keep it looking fresh longer

1. Regular maintenance: brush off dirt after wear, remove lint, and air out the coat between uses to prevent odors.
2. Washing: place the coat in a mesh laundry bag, use a mild detergent, cold or lukewarm water, and a gentle spin. Avoid bleach and strong solvents.
3. Drying: reshape while damp and hang to finish drying, or tumble at low heat briefly to smooth the fabric. Avoid prolonged high heat to prevent distortion.
4. Dealing with stains: spot clean promptly with a mild detergent solution and blot — do not aggressively rub. For oil‑based stains, treat with a small amount of dish detergent before washing.
5. Storage: hang on a shaped hanger to preserve shoulder lines. Use breathable bags for long‑term storage and avoid compressed stacking that creases the structure.
6. Long‑term care: repair loose buttons and small seam issues quickly to prevent larger damage. Reapply a water‑repellent spray if you notice reduced beading on the surface (test first on an unseen spot).

Style tips — outfit ideas

• Office: button closed over a silk blouse and tailored trousers. Add loafers and a leather tote.
• Weekend: wear open over a tee and high‑rise straight jeans with white sneakers and a crossbody bag.
• Layered warmth: put a thin down vest underneath for chilly mornings without added bulk.
• Evening out: layer over a slip dress or knit dress with ankle boots and statement earrings.
• Travel capsule: mix with neutral knitwear, dark denim, and one pair of boots — the coat adapts to multiple outfits and compresses well in luggage.

FAQ

Is the coat warm enough for winter?

It performs best as a transitional outer layer. For cold winters add insulating mid‑layers or a shell; the coat alone may not suffice in sub‑zero conditions.

Can I wash this at home?

Yes — polyester is generally forgiving in machine wash. Use a gentle cycle, mild detergent, and cool water; protect the garment in a mesh bag and avoid high heat drying.

Will it repel rain?

Polyester sheds light moisture, but the coat is not a substitute for a technical rain jacket. For sustained rain, add a waterproof shell or treat the surface with a water‑repellent finish.

Does the fabric stretch?

The fabric has little natural stretch. Fit decisions should prioritize shoulder and chest measurements rather than relying on stretch for comfort.

Will it pill?

Pilling can appear where friction occurs (under bags, at sleeves). Use a fabric shaver or a gentle depilling tool to restore the surface.

Is polyester hypoallergenic?

Most people wear polyester without issue, but those with sensitive skin may prefer natural fibers next to the skin. Wearing a thin layer beneath the coat reduces direct skin contact.

How should I choose my size?

Compare your bust and shoulder measurements to the size chart provided and add the recommended ease for your intended layering level. Prioritize shoulder fit for comfort and mobility.

Can I iron it?

If needed, use a low‑heat iron or a steamer and avoid direct high heat. Always test a small area first and keep the iron moving to prevent shine.

How do I stop static cling?

Use an anti‑static spray or dryer sheet rubbed lightly across the inside. Keeping a layer of natural fiber underneath can also reduce static buildup.

Is this sustainable?

Polyester itself is a synthetic material; look for recycled polyester (rPET) as a greener option. Reduce microfibre release by using lower temperatures and a laundry bag, and explore retailer recycling options at end of life.
