I love when designers take an old concept and find a way to reinvent it. Jackets, for instance, start off as a basic concept, but with the right embellishments and seam work, they can be made into something individual and stylish. This Fleece Swing Women’s Coat, for instance, has updated the traditional fleece jacket and created an innovative chic design.

On this coat, the seams make all the difference. Modified raglan sleeve seams create rounded shoulders, producing a drape effect that resembles more of a cloak than a jacket. Vertical seams near the shoulders intersect with the raglan seams, creating pleats that gather the fabric to flow loosely and elegantly down the torso, concealing the midsection. The collar stands up, providing extra warmth and protection around the neck. A hidden zipper makes the garment look like high-end designer fashion. While the front of the jacket is fairly loose, providing excellent swing and flow, the back is rather formfitting. In fact pull strings around the waist and hem allow for an ll-around adjustable fit.

Color choices are limited to only three available shades. Black and charcoal are dark, neutral colors that will match easily with other garments. Teal offers some amusing variety. This particular shade of teal has more green undertones, which makes it darker and richer.

This coat falls within the medium price range at $49.99-59.99. The price is rather reasonable for such a fresh design, but it still may be too pricey for shoppers on a budget.
