Winter Coats We Love

With Christmas a distant memory and new year’s greetings officially old news, there’s nothing for it but to comfort our cold, weary souls with a shiny new winter coat. Be it of the enveloping variety (think fur-lined parkas, shearing teddy coats and cosy puffas) or something a tad more tailored, when outwear is all you see, it’s all about making it speak the loudest. The coat is this season’s ultimate statement piece.

Our top picks? For high-end style on a budget we love Mango’s ultimate teddy coat. The hot pink sleeves make it a serious dead ringer for last year’s Saks Potts it-shearling. Or, if an investment piece is what you’re looking for, then turn to Paul Smith’s Checked Cocoon coat, a timeless outwear staple if there ever was one.
