Swing Coats: The Best Flared Coats and Jackets of the Season
Swing Coats: The Best Flared Coats and Jackets of the Season
A swing coat is a coat that is narrow at the shoulders and flares out to a wide hem, so it moves as you walk; the shape dates to the 1950s and is back across our designer coats edit. Nour Hammour has two in Resort 2027: the Belladonna in snow leopard print shearling and the croco-embossed Jane Short, both cut in Paris.
Below are the swing coats we rate, how to wear the volume, and a comparison taken from each house’s own product details.
How to choose a swing coat
The length. A hip-length swing jacket is the easiest to wear over trousers. A knee-length swing coat is more dramatic and suits slim skirts and dresses.
The fabric. Shearling and leather hold the flare; soft wools let it collapse. A heavier fabric gives a clearer A-line.
The size. Swing coats are generous by design. Nour Hammour recommends your usual size from 168 cm and one size down below it.

How to wear a swing coat
All the volume is below the shoulder, so keep the legs slim: straight trousers, a column skirt, opaque tights. Leave a swing coat open to show its shape, and avoid belting it, which destroys the flare. A print swing coat like Belladonna works best over black.

Frequently asked questions
What is a swing coat?
A coat fitted at the shoulder that flares out to a wide hem in an A-line, so it swings as you walk.
Can petite women wear a swing coat?
Yes. Choose a shorter swing jacket and size down if the house recommends it; Nour Hammour suggests one size down below 168 cm.
Should you belt a swing coat?
No. The flare is the point of the shape; a belt flattens it.
What is the difference between a swing coat and a cape?
A swing coat has sleeves and a flared body; a cape has no sleeves and drapes from the shoulders.
