Winter is so worth it when you get to wear a chic new coat…
If you thought buying a winter coat was a task that should have been firmly ticked off in autumn, then think again. OK, that’s when they all start hitting the shelves. But there are still so many amazing new styles catching our eye for all the right reasons.
The main reason being… it’s suddenly freezing. Or maybe it’s just because we’ve spent a lot of time in pyjamas recently. Either way, it’s time to find outerwear that actually makes stepping outside bearable.
Luckily, there are endless coat options to suit every style, whether you want to tap into this season’s animal print – as seen at Victoria Beckham, Max Mara and Givenchy – or opt for a fuzzy new friend in the form of faux fur, shearling or a teddy coat.
These coats don’t only look stylish, they’ll also keep you snug until spring.
Boutique by Topshop double breasted coat
If you like to pick a coat that’ll go with everything, then rust is the new hue to look to. The earthy tone means it goes perfectly with neutrals but also complements brights. Win-win.
Topshop double breasted coat by Boutique, £150
Miu Miu tie-waist wool coat
Brighten up the cold months ahead with a pastel pink cover-up. Yep, that’s right - pastels aren’t just for spring/summer.
Miu Miu tie-waist wool coat, £2,265
Arket checked wool trench coat
Trench coats may be the perfect spring cover up, but you can always make them work for winter by opting for a thicker, warmer fabric like wool. This belted, checked trench ticks off all the trends in one.
Arket checked wool trench coat, £250
J.Crew leopard print faux fur coat
Animal print is still dominating both designer and high street and we’re still big fans. Although python, zebra and even cow are key, it’s all about fail-safe leopard for outerwear.
J.Crew leopard print faux fur coat, £300
Zara down puffer coat
The puffer jacket not only looks effortlessly cool, it also keeps you unbelievably cosy. This Zara version even comes with matching mittens and a wrap scarf so you’ll never be cold again!

Whistles longline faux fur jacket
The faux fur lined biker jacket just went south for winter. The longer length means even your legs will be kept warm, yet there will be no sacrifice on the style front. Round of applause for Whistles.
Whistles longline faux fur jacket, £245
Marks and Spencer textured single breast coat
We all remember the sell-out pink M&S coat a couple of years back, right? Well, this is the new version, and we predict it’ll have exactly the same effect as the previous one. Which means you’ll have to be quick to get it while it’s still in stock.
Marks and Spencer textured single breast coat, £149

Sometimes you see a coat and instantly love it forever. Case in point: this Loewe tan number.

The teddy coat is basically a hug in coat form. It’ll instantly make you feel better about venturing out into the now super chilly weather.
H&M faux fur jacket, £34.99
Tibi luxe oversized faux fur coat
Anything that slightly resembles a dressing gown? We’re sold. This wrap number also comes in a forest green faux fur and we love them both.
Tibi luxe oversized faux fur coat, £635
