What are “cocoon” coats?

Cocoon coats are warm, roomy style coats with rounded, sloped shoulders, voluminous arcing sleeves (some not full length), and a structured body. These coats were popularized by Balenciaga. Cocoon coats offer comfort with a bit of drama. They lend themselves to layering when you start with a streamlined piece such as a bodysuit. Cocoon coats are more flattering on tall women. For an up-to-date look pair with slim-fit pants, leggings, or a pencil skirt. Accessorize with simple pearls and heels or ankle shoes/boots.
