THE BIG WINTER COAT EDIT

Although we’ve been incredibly lucky with the weather so far (hello Indian summer!), I feel as though I have to fully commit to the season and get wrapped up in a cosy winter coat. Boots aside, it’s the one piece of clothing I look forward to wearing as far as seasonal style goes. Every year I invest in a new style, but with so many beautiful pieces launching this year, I’m finding it hard to limit myself to just one! (as you can see HERE)

As a winter coat can typically be quite a pricey buy, I’m picky about what I need to justify the spend. It needs to be warm and durable, stylish without being trend-led so I can wear it every year and it needs to be versatile enough to go with multiple outfits. I found this Topshop one early on in the season and I’ve had so many comments about it because it looks more expensive than it was and it’s smart enough to wear for both day and night – exactly the things you want from a winter coat.

So, I’ve chosen some of the best timeless winter coat designs on the high street (and a couple of luxury options in case you’re looking for something a bit special) to help you on your way. My advice? Be picky, it’s a staple investment so go classic and only choose excellent quality fabrics….
