kay me’s elegant winter coats

As the days get chillier, it’s time to think about the most important item of your winter wardrobe: the coat.

Worn every day and seen by everyone, there’s no need for dull and boring outerwear – winter is your opportunity to wear a coat you absolutely love!

Here at kay me, we’ve reworked our best-selling elegant trench coats for 2019 and produced two beautiful colors for the season.

Our new coats feature all the stylish detail that makes them so original and such a hit here in Tokyo and beyond.

Taking elements from a classic trench coat and combining with the beauty of a wool-blend fabric, our coats are the perfect combination of style and practicality.

With a full A-line skirt that sways with every step, you’re sure to turn heads!

Be the envy of all around with the stylish touches that make a kay me coat a timeless investment: the storm-shield and gun flap provide practical protection as well as a timeless military-inspired flair.

kay me stylists suggest pairing our coats with print dresses in matching and contrasting colors, especially our retro-cute Kings Road print series.

Naturally, our coats also look fantastic with solid color items and suits, lending an extra special elegance to outfits of every day of the week.

Crease-resistant, this dress will look beautiful no matter long it spends in your suitcase.
