The Definitive Guide to our Ladies' Coats And Jackets

The Definitive Guide to our Ladies' Coats And Jackets

Our coats and jackets, crafted right here in London with meticulous attention to detail, blend British tailoring heritage with contemporary flair. Every spring/summer collection we produce emphasises breathable and lightweight fabrics such as linen and silk in vibrant pastels, soft neutrals, and blooming floral motifs. What's more, we only make one garment in each size, ensuring exclusivity. Below, explore our signature styles, their distinctive features, and styling inspirations to elevate your wardrobe this summer and beyond.

Westminster


The Westminster coat epitomises sleek sophistication with its slim-line silhouette, grown-on collar for a seamless neckline, contrast piping, detailed hem, fabric-covered back buttons, return cuffs, and full lining. This knee-length piece offers a flattering, structured fit that's lightweight and unstructured for comfort. Style it over a tonal dress for formal summer occasions like Ascot or weddings; for casual elegance, pair with jeans or cigarette pants. Its versatility makes it ideal for variable weather, layering beautifully with wide-leg trousers or a midi skirt for garden parties.

Carnaby


Inspired by 1960s longline aesthetics, the Carnaby coat features a stand collar, unique triple-button front, contrast piping, and fabric-covered buttons, creating a striking, elongated silhouette. It's bold yet feminine, especially in the luscious silks we have chosen this season, with patterns of pure drama. For spring/summer styling, clash it with a vintage-inspired hat for race days and layer with a tonal silk slip dress. Pair with ivory tones or pastels to give the more vibrant prints all the space they deserve.

Whitehall


The Whitehall coat delivers a long, slim-line profile with a soft grown-on collar, sleek neckline, and flattering drape, making it a statement piece for refined occasions. It can be worn with a silk dress for summer weddings and smart garden parties. Keep the jewellery and accessories to a minimum to highlight the Whitehall's linen textures and embroidery.

Long Swing Coat


Our Long Swing Coat captures playful dynamism with its extended skirt that sways gracefully, full-length sleeves, contrast piping, and full lining. This longer variant of the iconic swing style offers a fun, feminine fit ideal for movement. Perfect for smart summer events, style it over a floral midi dress with espadrilles for picnics or races. Its whimsical silhouette pairs well with wide-leg pants for evening galas. It's a coat that will put a smile on your face.

Soho


Drawing from traditional Nehru influences, the Soho coat boasts a stand collar, bold button line to the navel, two flat hip pockets, working cuffs, and a svelte silhouette. Slightly longer for coverage, it's tailored for breathability. For British summers, layer over a simple blouse and palazzo pants or cigarette trousers for alfresco dining, and style with strappy heels for semi-formal gatherings.

Bloomsbury


The Bloomsbury coat features a fitted long-line body with a subtle flared skirt below the knee, stand collar, high concealed placket buttons, and contrast piping for a polished finish. Its versatile design balances structure and flow. Ideal for summer events, style over a tonal slip dress with heels for an emphatic style statement.

Chelsea


A fitted at-the-knee tailored jacket, the Chelsea coat includes return cuffs, working pockets, a single back vent, and full lining, crafted for textured elegance in our crease-resist linen. Its structured yet comfortable fit suits formal wear. Style it with a tonal silk dress for smart summer engagements, and use your shoe choice to dial the formality up or down - heels or wedges, you choose!

Trafalgar


The Trafalgar jacket is a short, elegant linen piece with embroidered details, piping, double-button fastening, and a textural finish. Its compact silhouette offers versatility from day to night. For spring/summer, wear neutral tone palazzo pants and a blouse for casual chic; or elevate with a tonal pleated skirt or dress and heels for cocktails. As a day-to-night jacket, it's peerless.

Reversible Balham


This innovative reversible jacket features a quilted design with a floral finish on one side, and a navy geometric jacquard on the other, offering dual attitudes for sophisitcation and warmth. Its versatile cut provides a modern, layered look. Though ideal for cooler transitions, style the floral side out over a silk blouse and trousers for evening events; flip to navy for daytime with jeans and boots.

Camden


The Camden jacket, a short Nehru-inspired style finishing above mid-thigh, boasts a waisted silhouette, grown-on stand collar, and single flat hip pocket for subtle utility. Its lightweight construction ensures comfort. Dress it up with tailored cigarette or palazzo pants and heels. Its breathable design handles UK summers with ease too.

Cassie

A short, cinched-waist jacket, the Cassie includes a back bow detail belt, three-quarter sleeves, and fabric-covered buttons for feminine charm. Its casually elegant design adds polish to any ensemble. For spring/summer, layer over a sundress with flats for garden parties or pair with wide-leg pants or tonal pencil skirts for versatility.

Kimono Jacket


The Kimono jacket offers an elegant, unique silhouette with flowing lines and vibrant hues, perfect as a coat or luxurious layer. Its relaxed fit exudes effortless chic. Style over silk dresses for day-to-evening transitions, or use as loungewear with pyjamas for home (glamorous, much?!). In summer, belt it for structure or leave open with trousers and sandals - mix with metallics for galas or neutrals for casual sophistication. 

Swing


Our Swing jacket, with its tunic cut, three-quarter sleeves, contrast piping, and full lining, infuses fun and movement into the wardrobe. Its dynamic skirt sways delightfully. For spring/summer, pair with a maxi dress and wedges for races or style over jeans for casual days. Embrace its playfulness wherever you wear it. 

Eton


One of our perennial favourites, the Eton is an evolution of our Belgravia coat, and  features a re-worked bodice, tailored pockets, back buttons, full lining, French border embroidery, and scalloped hem for ornate detail. Its versatile length suits formality. Ideal for smart weddings or Ascot, style over tonal dresses, or for a slightly less formal look, pair with trousers. 

Araminta


The standout Araminta coat is a belted style with bound couture buttonholes and three-quarter sleeves, bold in design for a luxurious statement. Its flattering cut emphasises elegance. For spring/summer, wear it over a tonal shift dress with heels for evenings; its tones pair with neutrals or metallics. If feels so light and airy, giving you freedom of movement. This season's abstract floral print is a real statement-maker too. 

Chiswick


This short, elegantly styled Chiswick jacket boasts a flattering stand collar and versatile cuffs that fold back for customisation. Its compact form offers contemporary appeal. Style with cigarette pants or palazzo pants for summer cocktails evenings or jeans for casual outings. In summer, layer over blouses and let its vibrant pink details sparkle at parties, paired with a tonal pink clutch for cohesion. 

Belgravia


The svelte Belgravia jacket, knee-length with a flattering silhouette, includes back buttons, regular pockets, single vent, working cuffs, and high two-button fastening for elongation. It's versatile and unstructured, and this season comes crafted in feather-light silk organza. Style over tonal dresses for Ascot or weddings, and let the jaw-dropping jacquard designs do all the talking. 

Oxford Dress Coat


Our new signature Oxford Dress Coat is an elegant day piece with tailored sleeves, featuring bold patterns in luminous floral designs. Its dress-like silhouette offers sophistication and versatility. Style as a standalone with heels for high summer weddings, but slip into some espadrille wedges and it becomes the perfect piece of chic resortwear.
