Liquid Leather Zip Front Trench Coat
The most considered piece in the Clara Sunwoo lineup — the Liquid Leather Zip Front Trench Coat in Black is a longline, midi-length trench coat in the signature liquid leather stretch knit: 95% polyester, 5% spandex, faux-leather coated exterior with an antique matte finish, and a satin-like interior lining that sets it apart from every other piece in the collection. The black is pure and cold — a clean, deep black with no warm undertone, the matte liquid leather finish giving it a surface that reads as genuinely architectural at full coat length. The construction is the full statement: an oversized notched lapel that folds open wide at the chest, an asymmetric silver zip closure running diagonally from upper left chest to lower right hem — worn fully zipped for a sleek column silhouette, partially zipped for a layered open-front look, or left completely open as a fluid duster over whatever is underneath. A removable self-tie belt in the same liquid leather fabric threads through side belt loops and defines the waist from all angles when tied; removed, the coat falls in a clean, uninterrupted longline. Side seam pockets at the hip. Side slits at the lower hem for ease of movement and drape. Straight, slender silhouette that contours the figure. Hand wash or gentle cycle cold, hang dry. Black. S–L.

Styling Suggestions
- Wear belted and partially zipped over a fitted white tee or black turtleneck with slim dark wash cropped jeans and black heeled mules as shown — the self-tie belt at the waist defines the silhouette from all angles and the asymmetric zip partially open at the chest reveals the layer underneath without fully opening the coat; at midi length the trench hits mid-calf and the side slits allow the hem to move freely with each step, giving the longline black liquid leather coat a fluid, editorial quality that a structured wool coat never achieves
- Wear fully zipped and unbelted over a fitted black midi dress and black heeled boots for a head-to-toe column silhouette where the black liquid leather trench coat reads as the outer layer of a fully considered all-black look — the asymmetric zip creates a diagonal graphic line across the front even when fully closed, the oversized lapel frames the face, and the satin lining means the coat slides on and off over the dress without pulling or static
- Leave completely unzipped and unbelted as a longline duster over a fitted black knit top and slim straight trousers for a fluid, open-front layering look where the black liquid leather trench functions as a coat-length layer that moves with the body and drapes from the shoulders in a clean, unstructured column — the side slits and the asymmetric zip slit at the front hem give the open coat beautiful movement as you walk
- Belt tightly and wear over a fitted caramel, ivory, or cream knit for a warm-toned autumn contrast combination where the black liquid leather belted trench reads as the definitive outerwear statement and the warm neutral underneath creates a two-tone palette that is as clean and considered as it is effortless — the matte black exterior against the warm knit visible at the lapel opening is a pairing that works from the first cool day of autumn through the full season
