Elegant BHS Fitted Navy Coat, Neo-Victorian Swing Style, Princess Seams, UK 16

A tailored statement with whispers of Victorian elegance. This British Home Stores navy blue coat blends the discipline of traditional tailoring with a hint of neo-Victorian flourish. Crafted in a fine mid-weight fabric blend, the fabric offers structure with just enough stretch for comfortable wear. The silhouette is very fitted and nipped at the waist, with princess seams extending through the bodice and sleeves to create a refined, sculpted line. The three-quarter length gives a dramatic sweep, ideal for pairing with frocks, high-waisted trousers, or layered over velvet and lace in your dark-academia wardrobe. Wide rounded lapels frame the neckline with quiet authority. Around the collar and lapels are small buttons originally designed to hold a removable fur collar. Functional slit pockets keep the silhouette clean and practical, while a single pleat at the back maintains movement and flow. This is beautifully balanced tailoring that bridges everyday wear and expressive styling. A silhouette very popular with steampunk, neo-victorian and cosplay enthusiasts.
