It’s all about a great cover-up. Shop the best coats from Mango, Arket, COS and Róhe …
Storied fashion designer Paul Smith once said: “I love great coats, and I pay a lot of attention to them and own a lot of them.”
It seems as if, with each autumn/winter season, the ante is upped in terms of outerwear. Once quite functional (bland, even!), everyday coats now have hero status; high street styles sell out regularly and we permanently have our eyes peeled for a restock of at least one viral cover-up. The message is clear: the right coat redefines your look. And it’s not just for special occasion dressing. Double-breasted and cape styles – both perfect for commuting or off-duty dressing – reign supreme right now.
What’s more, you often need more than one. With temperatures not really dipping into single digits until November, the need for both a transitional jacket and winter coat is more prevalent than ever – see our edit of perfect trenches here. On the topic, we’re not advocating that you buy two new coats each season, or any new ones at all, but it’s handy to have different weight jackets at your disposal. We love options!
Refined but not restrained, hero coats run the gamut from classic leopard and trending bitter chocolate hues to minimal black double-breasted styles, as well as sweetheart of the moment, the cape coat (which, a few seasons since Toteme‘s fringed scarf wool coat became catnip for the style set, is still going strong). What we’re noticing now? Shoulders are strong, shearling is decadent (and has a price-point to match, even on the high street), and the trending length is most definitely long. Shop our edit below …
