If you want a coat that looks just as great over a cocktail dress as it does jeans, look for a mid-calf length, belted style in a timeless shade like black or chocolate brown. This classic coat suits all figure typesas long as the hem is proportionate to a taller or petite frame. If you're tired of basic black wool, a fancier beaded or jacquard fabric coat can be just as versatile. The key is to find a style in a basic shapeanything too fussy will limit where you can wear it.
