Alaïa

Covering up with an Alaïa coat design doesn’t mean concealing the feminine form that founder Azzedine Alaïa so revered. Like Alaïa’s range of knitwear, the label's coats – which range from peplum leather jackets to sharply tailored longline styles – exhibit its mastery of cinching, flattering and structuring the body without losing warmth and coverage. For the brand’s outerwear, think cropped waistlines, oversized hoods and belted details that bring contemporary edge to traditional materials like wool, suede and denim. An Alaïa coat can elevate simple looks such as a top and barrel-leg jeans, or try pairing a mini skirt with one of its double-breasted blazers for a look that’s both modern and sophisticated.
