Is this coat warm enough for winter?

It is a midi overcoat, not an insulated one. It works for fall and mild winter days, especially layered over a sweater, but it will not replace a padded coat in cold weather.

How does the sizing run?

The belted waist lets you cinch it, but the double-breasted cut and pleated skirt leave less room through the hips. Check the brand's size chart and consider sizing up if you are between sizes or plan to layer.

Can the belt be removed?

The belt has a dual-button fastener, so it can be taken off and the coat worn loose. The pleated skirt still flares from the waist without it.

Does it have pockets?

Yes, there are hidden side hand pockets built into the coat. They sit in the side seams, so they do not break up the front.

It is a midi coat with full-length long sleeves. It typically falls around mid-calf, which pairs well with boots and longer dresses.

Is it suitable for formal occasions?

Yes. The tailored lapel, double-breasted front and flared skirt make it dressier than a casual rain trench, so it works over dresses for work and formal events.
