Reinterpreting a classic – 3 exciting looks with a frock coat

A what coat? If you have never heard of a frock coat then it’s high time you did. A frock coat is a fashion statement with a tradition going back to the nineteenth century. You just have to pick the right style for you. We will introduce you to three looks that show off the frock coat perfectly!

1. Frock coats for the glamour look

Glamorous designs in gold or made from shimmering metallic material are a real asset for any party outfit. Combined with seductive little black high heels and a classy clutch you won’t just bewitch the doormen in your city. Paired with dress pants, mid heels and a plain white blouse, this coat can also give you the wow factor in the office.

2. Frock coats for the dressed up look

Frock coats with a classic pattern and plain design from pure wool aren’t just great for adventures in the country, but also in the city. The tapered cut lets the frock coat fit closely on the body, keeps you comfortably warm and is therefore a great alternative to a jacket on cooler spring days. Combine it with boots with a wide heel and dark skinny jeans or an A-line midi skirt, and you’re ready for all of the outdoor activities you do in your spare time. Whether you’re shopping, out walking by the sea or at a friend’s garden party, the cozy frock coat gets you through the cooler season in style.

3. Frock coats with the fashionable layered look

The frock coat is a perfect happy medium for the layered look. Plain designs in monochrome colors or in a military style are especially gorgeous for this purpose. Styled with a tank top, used look jeans, XXL scarves and earthy boots make for a cool and everyday look. Leather leggings, sneaker wedges and a back pack also put the frock coat center stage. The tapered shape emphasizes feminine curves and is always an eye-catcher, regardless of the combination.

The frock coat originates from the time of the Sun King (17th Century). King Louis XIV of France designed it as a soldier’s tunic for his armies. Around 1800, the double row coat with knee long skirt was replaced with a colorful Biedermeier tailcoat and gained fashionable popularity at official events. To this day, nothing has changed. But with time this jacket has become a stunner, whether it is worn casually, in the office or in your spare time.
