My Sizing
For reference, I’m 5’7 1/2″ with a short torso and very long legs! I typically wear a 29 in jeans or a size 8. My bra size is a 36C, and I typically wear a size medium (or 8) top.

Classic Coatigan
This Coatigan is one of those pieces that instantly elevates a simple outfit. Worn over a fitted tee or lightweight sweater, it brings warmth without feeling too bulky. The subtle pop of pattern is eye-catching but still versatile enough to pair with jeans or leather pants.

Perfect for Thanksgiving festivities where you might be hopping from one family member’s home to the next, this outfit is a great choice if you’re looking for warmth and a little pattern play.
