Winter coats are a cornerstone of any wardrobe – a single great style that fits and insulates well will see you through autumn and winter, into the spring months and beyond.

The trick to making the most of a winter coat? Look after it well. If you’re keen to try a tailored wool coat, consider purchasing a lint roller to tackle any stray fibres. In between seasons, before storing outerwear, don’t hesitate to take something to the dry cleaners. You want to ensure it’s fresh and ready for use when you unearth it in the colder months. Another tip: be sure to equip yourself for changeable weather conditions and have an umbrella on standby to avoid ruining delicate fabrics.

Investing in a new coat can be overwhelming, given there are so many options available. Experiment with several silhouettes before making a decision – be it a puffer, bomber jacket, leather coat or sculptural longline style – and try styling it with existing pieces in your wardrobe to guarantee maximum wear for seasons to come.

This winter, timeless outerwear silhouettes reign supreme. Power-shouldered wool coats, elegant black coats, retro bomber jackets and puffers have proven popular, realised in neutral tones, mood-boosting shades and expressive patterns. On the autumn/winter 2024 runways, leather bombers came courtesy of Balenciaga and Loewe, while Alaïa debuted sculptural iterations on the classic black coat and Ferragamo rendered various silhouettes in wool-cashmere – including a great coat that opened the show. And at Miu Miu, Miuccia Prada explored coats of many kind, including an opening series of longline styles with and without collars.

Picking a brand depends on personal preference. The aforementioned designer labels plus The Row, Saint Laurent and Prada specialise in investment coats, while Filippa K and Totême are also go-to brands for team Vogue. And on the high-street, Cos, Arket, Massimo Dutti and Uniqlo stock a variety of styles.
