Full length coats

I really like the full length wool coats people are wearing but I've only seen them on skinny or tall people!

At size 16 and 5ft 6 can I get away with it it will it just look like a tent??

Yes get one! I have several and they are perfect for winter and look really elegant.

I'm 5'6 too and team them with 4 inch ankle boots or heels

Give one a go. I think you’d pull it off at 5’6”. Those coats always look better with a bit of a heel in my experience.

If you carry weight on your chest, avoid the high-necked style. Can make your head look as if it is floating on top of swathes of material when the coat is buttoned up!

I'm a 20. I love mine, so, so warm when on a cold station! Like a blanket but more elegant.

If you love it then thats all that matters

I have a coupe and they do feel very elegant

You've convinced me!! To be fair anything's better than my rain mac which is the only thing that fits right now!!!
