Which coats for the mid-season ?

Mid-season is that tricky time when the winter coat feels too heavy, yet a simple jacket is no longer enough. To stay elegant while adapting to the whims of the weather, certain overcoats stand out for their perfect balance of comfort, practicality, and style. Here’s our selection of three essential types of coats for transitional dressing.

With its military heritage from World War I, the trench coat has become a symbol of urban elegance. Crafted in waterproof gabardine and featuring a belt, shoulder straps, and double-breasted fastening, it protects effectively against rain without weighing down the silhouette. The ideal companion for unpredictable days, it can be worn over a suit or with a more casual outfit.

Born with the automobile in the early 20th century, the car coat was designed for comfort and freedom of movement. Shorter than a traditional overcoat, usually mid-thigh length, it features a straight cut and clean lines. Made in lightweight wool or technical cotton, it stands out for its understated refinement, making it perfect for transitional weather. Discreet yet elegant, it works equally well for office wear or city outings.

Originally designed for the U.S. Army in the 1940s, the field jacket has earned its place as a civilian wardrobe staple. Short, practical, and equipped with multiple pockets, it is now reimagined in wool flannels or water-repellent cottons. It adds a casual-chic touch to any look while offering outstanding comfort. More sporty than traditional overcoats, it charms with its adventurous spirit and versatility.
