The Winter Coat Edit: Five Silhouettes Worth Living In

Woman walking through London in a long camel coat — Hollis Morgan

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

Women's Long Hooded Puffer Jacket — Insulated Winter Coat

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

Vivienne Custom-Fit Long Coat — Women's Tailored Outerwear

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

Elowen Double Breasted Long Coat — Notched Lapel Fitted Waist

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

Women's Cropped Stand-Collar Button-Front 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

Belted Longline Winter Coat — Tailored Soft-Knit Warm 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.
