I love skirt coats because you can have a lot of fun with them.
My wife has a gray Pea Skirt-Coat that looks good, and good on her. We have a lot of fun with it because if she pairs it with a minidress or miniskirt, with its length being longer than her skirt, it looks like she is completely bottomless, or at the very least, shows that she must be wearing a very short minidress or miniskirt. The interesting thing is, guys just admire it, but it's other ladies that have the most reactions to it. Some snarl, but with others you can just read their faces, "is she wearing anything under that coat". My wife is of course, but seeing others first reaction can be fun.
