Fabric-wize brushed long-haired fabrics are definite seasonal favourites and they seem to remain so also next season.“ The wrapped coat is a laid-back style that carries a sophisticated effortless look with an interesting silhouette. You can choose a more classical colour pallette or fashionable checkered pattern. The fabric trends favour coats with soft, fur-like, long-fibered texture.
