Statement Coat
Full length coat is an essential piece to wear to a night at the opera, as it adds a touch of glamour to any outfit. To achieve an elegant and sophisticated look, opt for a tailored coat in a luxurious fabric such as silk or cashmere, featuring intricate details like embroidery.
Pairing the maxi coat with floor-length dress or tailored trousers and a silky blouse will complete the ensemble, creating a polished and refined appearance suitable for a formal event like the opera. Below are our bestsellers: maxi silk coat in Narnia and cashmere Devi coat in Deep Raspberry. Above is Aquila coat in Wild Orchid.

When attending a formal event such as the opera or theatre, opting for a silk coat or jacket can elevate your outfit to the next level.
Silk is a luxurious and elegant fabric that exudes class, making it the perfect choice for such occasions. It has a lustrous sheen that catches the light and adds a touch of glamour to any ensemble. Additionally, silk is known for its durability and timeless appeal, ensuring that your investment in a silk coat or jacket will continue to pay off for years to come. Whether you choose a long or mid-length coat or even a fitted jacket, wearing this luxurious fabric will undoubtedly make you stand out in the crowd at formal events.
When it comes to colour, navy is a timeless choice that displays opulence and style. Our silk garments in ‘Royal’ are the perfect examples.
