A dichotomy between deft classic tailoring and all-out maximalism is how best to describe the storied work of Belgian designer
Dries Van Noten. This coat from his AW21 collection harmoniously captures both. It’s constructed in a wool blend to a collarless silhouette that’s belted at the waist, while the capacious sleeves are rendered in an opulent floral jacquard with exaggerated contrasting satin cuffs. Use it to enliven a pair of simple black trousers.
