Long warm coat worn outside

A long, warm coat that you wear over your other clothes when you go outside in cold weather.

תבנית שימוש: to wear [an overcoat]
טעות נפוצה:
Learners sometimes use "overcoat" for any type of coat or light jacket. In modern English, "overcoat" usually suggests a long, fairly heavy coat for cold weather, often a bit formal. For everyday light outerwear, "coat" or "jacket" is more common.
