Brace yourselves, winter is here. While the change in temperature demands an update to our wardrobes – swapping out our summer sandals in favour of seasonal boots – topping your sartorial winter choices off with the perfect coat is crucial. Aside from the comfort and warmth they provide, coats are the statement piece that the outside world is going to see first, at least for those chilly months ahead.
Investing in a good, well-made jacket is key when it comes to choosing the perfect one for you. But, year-after-year many trends and styles regularly resurface as soon as the weather starts to drop, from trenches with statement details to iconic teddy coats, which make them the ideal option to splurge on.
We’ve rounded up some of the jacket trends that will always be a good investment to embrace. These picks promise to keep you chic and chill-proof all season long.
