"S Max Mara" 21AW Structured double-breasted long chester coat

Since its founding in Italy, Max Mara has attracted attention as a pioneer of modern prêt-à-porter fashion, offering elegant and contemporary items. We are pleased to introduce a special piece from S Max Mara.

This piece features a matte black wool that exudes a sculptural beauty, falling smoothly from the shoulders to the hem as a single surface.

As for the reason for the era, the inner quality tag clearly states the manufacturing date in Cyrillic characters, with the print "дата производства: 09/01/2021," confirming it was made in 2021. Additionally, the presence of a style number, QR code, and domestic agency label indicates a modern management system, making this a high-year model that captures the atmosphere of 2021 rather than a vintage reproduction.

"’S Max Mara" embodies the symbol of Max Mara's impeccable tailoring, refined to match the pace of life. Its core philosophy is not flashy decoration but the "way the lines appear when worn" and "ease of handling" that establish luxury. This piece is precisely designed with that in mind, with a wide lapel creating shadows around the face, and the double-breasted overlap adding depth to the chest. Meanwhile, the body is not overly tapered but falls vertically, striking a balance that leans neither too formal nor too casual, allowing for everyday movement without hindrance.

Breaking down the details, the front flap pockets create focal points that draw the eye, adding persuasive "purposeful design" within the minimal black. On the back, a belt-like design runs along the waistline, creating tension in the rear view and forming a "contour that makes you aware of your body's center" that is not just straight and long. Additionally, the cuffs are equipped with button tabs, allowing the appearance of the hands to be adjusted by tightening or loosening, which prevents the long length from lowering the center of gravity too much and makes movements look elegant. As seen in the photo, the finish minimizes thick edges, reducing the "weight impression" common in long coats and making the black surface appear sharper.

Considering the era of 2021, the restrained black and the attitude of speaking only through buttons and surface structure reflect a sense of the times that values "long-lasting quality" over trend exaggeration. It can be said that this piece visualizes the philosophy of the line "DESIGN FOR EASY LIVING" as a design. The shape is decided the moment you wear it, and it remains stable even when moving, yet its assertion is quiet—this is the luxury of everyday wear that Max Mara presents today.

For styling, pairing a neat shirt or minimal top as an inner with tailored slacks for the bottoms makes the shadow of the lapel and placket stand out even more. If you want to create a moodier look, layering over a dress or long skirt with a drape creates a "vertical flow" that makes the silhouette of this coat the main feature. Finishing with leather shoes or boots at the feet enhances a genderless, polished look.

Take this opportunity.
