COATS
A women's coat is the piece that frames every outfit it sits on top of. The suit underneath, the dress, the knit and trousers. All of it changes the moment the coat goes on. When the fabric is cashmere and wool, or alpaca and wool, and the construction is considered enough to leave unlined because both sides of the fabric are that refined, a coat for women stops being an outer layer and becomes the outfit itself.
Lindsay Nicholas designs womens coats and jackets with named pieces that carry their own stories. The Broadway, named after the New York thoroughfare. The Edwina, the Dimiti, the Royce, the Darlinghurst. Each carries a different silhouette, a different fabric, and a different kind of warmth. Ladies' coat options for the woman who expects her women's winter coat to hold the same standard as everything worn beneath it.
The Coat Collection
The Broadway Coat is Lindsay's personal favourite. A cocoon silhouette in double-faced 20% cashmere, 80% wool. Wide notch lapels, double button closure, large front patch pockets, and a midi length. Unlined because the double-faced fabric is beautiful on both sides.
The Edwina Coat is 20% alpaca and 80% wool with oversized lapels, set-in sleeves with cuffs, and a self-tie belt. The Dimiti Coat is a short, double-breasted coat winter jacket in wool-cashmere with princess seams. The Darlinghurst Coat in Winter White rounds out the collection with a distinct silhouette and tone.
Styling Your Women's Coat Across Settings
The Broadway over contrasting pants for women is the kind of arrival that sets the tone for the evening. The Edwina belted over a V neck dresses with boots carries from the office to after-work drinks without a change. The Dimiti in Burgundy over women's suit trousers and a sweater for women adds colour and warmth to a winter commute.
For the woman who wants her women's coat to layer over a dress without adding bulk, the Broadway's cocoon silhouette accommodates volume underneath. The Edwina's self-tie belt gives you the option of a defined waist or an open drape. Add a faux fur collar or a scarf when the temperature drops further.For a more classic outerwear alternative, a women's trench coat can also provide a polished layer for transitional weather and lighter styling.
What Separates These Womens Jackets and Coats
Double-faced cashmere and wool. Alpaca and wool. Wool-cashmere. Every coat in this collection uses a fabric blend chosen for a specific reason: warmth without weight, structure without stiffness, and a finish that looks as considered on the inside as it does on the outside. Several are left unlined because the fabric quality allows it. That is not a shortcut. It is a sign of how good the cloth is.
Every piece is constructed in workshops that meet strict ethical compliance standards.
