Dress like a giraffe
A giraffe is covered in large brown patches, split by a net of cream lines, and no two giraffes share a pattern. The patches are darkest on the neck and back and soften toward the legs. It is the tallest animal on land, so its pattern is all about long lines. The look keeps those lines. The patch print goes on one long piece, and the rest moves through cognac, camel, cream and chocolate, like the coat itself.
Tall, warm and graphic. Wear the patches on one long piece, like a slip skirt, a shirt dress or a scarf, and keep the rest in cream and caramel. Long, clean lines suit the print.

Fit notes
Sizes change from brand to brand, so check each brand's size chart before you order. Measure in inches or centimeters:
- Bust or chest: around the fullest part, with the tape level (for example 36 in, 91 cm).
- Waist: around the narrowest part of your middle (for example 29 in, 74 cm).
- Hips: around the fullest part, feet together (for example 39 in, 99 cm).
- Inseam: from the top of your inner thigh to your ankle bone (for example 30 in, 76 cm).
On the app, add your measurements and every piece gets its own size.
