This unlined Aldo Martins coat shows just how much impact a knitted design can have. The light vanilla shade forms the base for graphic patterns in brown, black and soft blue, arranged in different bands across the coat. The variation in motifs and knit structures means there is always something new to discover up close.

The hood gives the design a relaxed character and is finished with a narrow patterned edge that ties in beautifully with the rest of the coat. The shoulders, sleeves and cuffs also feature a clearly different knit structure from the central section. This creates a playful contrast between calm vanilla areas and the richly patterned sections.

Because the coat is unlined, the character of the knit remains fully visible. Its open-front shape also makes it easy to wear over different layers. Pair it with a simple sweater and black or brown trousers, for example, to let the distinctive pattern take centre stage.

If you want to carry the pattern through your outfit, a matching skirt is available. Together, the coat and skirt create a striking combination in which the same colours and graphic motifs are repeated. Both pieces can of course also be worn separately, allowing you to create different looks with the same design.

The coat is made from 52% extra-fine wool, 36% acrylic and 12% nylon. The extra-fine wool gives the knit warmth and a soft appearance, while the acrylic and nylon contribute shape retention and strength.

A distinctive coat for a woman who enjoys playing with pattern while choosing calm, natural colours. The length, hood and rich texture make it eye-catching without making it difficult to combine.
