What is a "paletot"?
A paletot is a type of jacket that typically has a loose, boxy silhouette and a straight cut, with a length that falls just above or below the hip. It usually has a simple, unadorned design, with a single row of buttons down the front and a collar that can be worn up or down. The paletot jacket originated in France in the 19th century and was popularized as a practical and functional garment for everyday wear. It has since become a classic style of outerwear that can be worn by both men and women and is often made from a variety of fabrics, such as wool or cotton, to suit different climates and occasions.
