A good coat is the first thing people see and the last thing you take off. It sets the tone for everything underneath — which is why we believe it deserves a little more thought than any other piece in your wardrobe. This season, we've narrowed it down to five silhouettes that work as hard on a grey Monday as they do on a long weekend away.
1. The long hooded puffer
When the temperature really drops, nothing beats length. This longline puffer wraps you up well below the hip, with a generous hood for wind and drizzle. Wear it with straight-leg jeans and lace-up boots for the school run, or over a knit dress for a crisp countryside walk.
2. The tailored long coat
Clean lines, a longer length and a shape that follows the body without restricting it — the Vivienne is the coat you reach for when you want to look effortlessly put together. Layer it over fine knitwear and tailored trousers for the office, then swap to a roll-neck and loafers for dinner.
3. The double-breasted classic
Notched lapels, a double row of buttons and a defined waist give the Elowen a quietly polished feel. It's a coat that looks considered with almost anything: a simple sweater and jeans, a midi dress and knee-high boots, or wide trousers and a crisp shirt.
4. The cropped stand-collar coat
For those who prefer a lighter silhouette, a cropped length keeps things fresh and modern. The neat stand collar frames the face beautifully — pair it with high-waisted trousers or a pleated skirt to balance the proportions.
5. The belted longline layer
Somewhere between a coat and a cardigan, this belted longline piece is made for in-between days. Tie it at the waist for shape, or leave it open over a fitted knit — it's the kind of layer you'll live in from October to March.
