long coat

Knee-length outer garment

A long coat is an overcoat or similar garment that extends below the knee, typically to mid-calf or ankle.

The term distinguishes from shorter jacket styles: She wore a dramatic long coat over her evening dress.

Long coats appear in both fashion contexts and functional winter wear, offering more coverage and often a more formal silhouette.
