Coats are a key investment piece, and shopping for a winter coat in particular can be tricky. There are so many requirements - finding a style that feels on-trend yet timeless, a style that works with our existing wardrobe, and one that is versatile enough to wear to multiple occasions. To help I’ve taken the leg work out of the search by selecting my favourite styles right here.
I’m obsessed with this leather puffer jacket. I live in a puffer coat during the winter months but it always feels a tad underdressed for work and events; whereas this style really ups the fashion-anti, the luxe buttery leather, and chic belted silhouette make for the perfect day-to-night option.
Often your classic nylon puffer looks a little mismatched with dresses, slouchy tailored trousers, or your favourite jeans and a nice top combo, however this leather style will be the perfect companion – hitting all the right style notes, this is the puffer 2.0.
Camel coats in whatever iteration they come in; be classic wool or luxe leather, are forever a wardrobe staple. This style would look great teamed with other neutrals, think black or chocolate brown alongside pared back prints in leopard print and monochrome.
I’d style with knee high boots, your favourite black skinny jeans and silky cami top for an out-out look, or play with hemlines by teaming with a clean line dress and sleek heeled boots for a cool spin on workwear.
Leather was all over the runways for AW22, it never goes out of fashion so is totally worth the investment.
This khaki leather trench has shot to the top of my fashion lust list – the green feels modern yet classic - a traditional trench style to throw over any outfit from a jeans and t-shirt combo to an elegant slip dress, it’ll elevate any look.
Classic houndstooth with a twist; this statement coat is retro-inspired, and I love nothing more than a bit of eighties power dressing. This coat is destined for the dancefloor, wear over your favourite LBD and accessorise with chandelier earrings, alternatively leather trousers and strappy heels. You could even dare to clash with bright tailored trousers and a midriff-skimming top – whatever you choose this coat is made to stand out.
Pink is the colour of the season, it’s confident, it’s bright, bold, fun and will make you feel good.
This tailored dressing gown shape gives this hot pink style longevity, brighten up miserable grey winter days in this coat. Elevate your off-duty jeans and jumper with a pop of colour or go all out and wear this style with a silky pyjama set and strappy heels as a chic take on party-wear.
A shearling coat is a sartorial favourite – a fashion heirloom of sorts. This cool seventies feel coat will look amazing with a winter floral dress and chunky stomper boots, or even try with slouchy ripped denim, an oversized knit and hiking boots for a cosy yet-stylish winter look, perfect for crunching autumn leaves and weekend meets with friends.
