Pirate/steampunk jacket for women

The women's pirate and steampunk coat is a long brown coat in a suede look with a double row of metallic-coloured buttons on leather-look tabs. The most striking feature is the silhouette: the front falls straight to the hips, while the back extends to a point below the knees. This allows you to create a pirate or steampunk look for Carnival, Halloween or a themed party.

Why does one coat suit both pirates and steampunk?

Both looks are based on the same historical coat: the long, flared men's coat with a row of buttons from the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. Pirate attire draws on the sailor's version with a tricorne hat and sash, while steampunk draws on the Victorian variant with gears, leather and brass. This coat sits right at that intersection, as the brown suede-like fabric and brass-coloured buttons work with both styles. Your accessories determine which theme takes centre stage, not the coat itself.

How to wear the steampunk coat on a party night

Wear it over a black blouse with a jabot or a high-necked top so that the brown of the coat contrasts with a dark base. Leggings or leather-look trousers with tall lace-up boots keep the look long and slim, highlighting the pointed back. If you choose a pirate look, complete it with a tricorne hat and a cutlass. If you choose steampunk, a top hat with round glasses and fingerless gloves is the natural addition.

Choose this brown women's coat and you'll have two looks for the entire party season with just one garment.
