The Club Monaco Cate Coat, which is available for purchase online exclusively at shopbop.com, is beautiful in its extreme simplicity. The classic notched collar, simple single-button closure, and unobtrusive flap hip pockets and welt bust pocket all help this coat maintain a dignified silhouette. It's the kind of look that's just right for wearing to a professional office setting, or with a favorite cocktail frock (since it won't be competing with the dress). The leather belt, which feels kind of dressed-down to me, comes with the coat, but is detachable. Without the belt, it feels a tiny bit dressier.
