I have been wanting a coatigan (mix between cardigan and coat) since last year. They are great for dressing up or down and I finally found the perfect version here. The J Crew Ella coatigan is perfect because it can be dressed up or down and comes in multiple colors. After I saw another blogger style this so many ways last year, I knew I had to have it since it’s such a versatile piece for fall and winter. This would also look fabulous in the spring with colorful work trousers or white denim too!
I am 5’4″ for reference and I think it runs quite big. I am wearing my normal XS in the camel color and XXS in pink, but I honestly could go down 2 sizes in this (the XXXS is unfortunately sold out). Just note, it does not have buttons or snaps, so it stays open like a cardigan. J Crew has sales so frequently, so I would recommend waiting to snag this on sale instead of buying full price.
If you think this is too overwhelming for your frame, check out my post on the Sophie blazer and the Juliette cardigan. Those are much more petite friendly!
Sizing reference: I am 5’4″ and typically XS in tops and 25 in bottoms.
J Crew Camel Ella Coatigan
I am wearing an XS (my normal size) here. On someone much taller, I think your normal size would be okay.

J Crew Pink Ella Coatigan
This is the pink version of the coatigan above, but in XXS. I still think it looks kind of large on me but definitely more fitted than the XS camel. The pink would be so pretty for Spring too! It is a nice soft shade that matches just about everything!
