JANET | Fitted waist coat with a flared hem

It sits in at the waist and then gets out of the way. I did not know I was allowed both.

Somewhere in our fifties a lot of us settled for straight coats. They do not cling, which is the main thing, but they also do not do anything for you. Janet is the other option most women stopped looking for: it takes the waist in and then lets the skirt of the coat go wide, so nothing at all is pulling across the hips.

The waist is tailored, which sets the narrowest point where you want it rather than letting the coat hang from the bust. Below that the coat flares, so the fabric falls away from the hip and the thigh instead of following them. That flare is also why it is easy to walk in, and why it goes over a skirt without riding up.

Why women our age keep coming back to it

• Fitted at the waist, loose below it. The shape flatters where you want it and skims where you do not.
• Nothing pulls at the hip. The flare means the coat never has to stretch across the widest part of you.
• It works over a skirt. A wide hem sits over a full skirt rather than fighting it.
• Three strong colors. Black, Red and Navy Blue, in S through 3XL.

How it fits

Janet comes in S through 3XL. Because the coat is fitted at the waist and flares below, your size is decided by the bust and the waist, not the hip, which is unusual and worth knowing. If you are between two sizes, or you want to wear a sweater underneath, take the larger one. You have thirty days to try it at home.

I can sit down in it without hitching it up first, which sounds small and is not. Myrna C., Chandler
