21 Wool Coats: Best Wool Coat Women Should Buy 2022

By Georgia Trodd

Whether you consider yourself a follower of fashion or not, we can all agree that wool coats are worthy investments when autumn/winter swings round. Nothing keeps you quite as warm – well, aside from your snow-day duvet coat – and as smart simultaneously.

As we're on track for another freezing December-March (let's not even mention the cost of heating our homes), outerwear is all that's on our minds. From trench coats to puffer jackets, the cosier the better, right? While the best wool coats are not exactly the wisest silhouette to sport in a downpour of rain (wool + water = a soggy mess), they are an undeniable classic and, when it comes to winter coats, the style you'll rely on most. Perennially chic, courtesy of perfect proportions and well structured designs, they'll forever be on trend (a big win if you're the capsule wardrobe sort).

Including Max Mara's signature 101801 Icon coat – worn by the likes of Emily Ratajkowski, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley and Angelina Jolie since its creation in 1981 – and Acne Studios' timelessly versatile silhouette, there's a whole plethora of iterations to choose from. Fret not – we've found plenty of expensive-looking wool coats for under £250, too. Clue: make a beeline for the likes of Hush, COS and H&M.
