THE BEST COAT TRENDS TO INVEST IN THIS AUTUMN/WINTER

A winter coat is arguably the most important piece in your autumn/winter wardrobe, and sometimes the most tricky to find. You need it to be a look on its own for the days when you won’t even take it off, but also need it to *make* your looks, too. We’re breaking down the best coat trends of the season – think suede, faux fur and the viral barn jacket – to help you figure out which one’s for you. Scroll to find out.

This is a huge one for AW24 – soft textures like suede and faux fur offer an easy way to add interest to everyday ‘fits. Even better? You can make a statement with a floor-sweeping dressing-gown-coded silhouette or keep things pared back. Western details are still here for autumn/winter, too – we’re loving the exaggerated collar and pointed-yoke pockets on this suede style.

If you’ve been on socials in the last month, you’ll know that the popularity of barn jackets has skyrocketed. But what makes them so wearable is their simple silhouette: clean lines and a boxy shape are key. Similarly, cropped jackets make the perfect light layer – this aviator silhouette isn’t miles away from the barn jacket, but the cropped hem gives a flattering fit if barn jackets sit too low for you.

Two things we’re seeing *everywhere* this season? Two-in-one scarf coats and exaggerated funnel necks. Besides the fact they instantly make an outfit look cooler, they’re both super practical and warm, too. A funnel neck on a longline coat gives an elongated silhouette for the girlies who want to add some height, while the scarf detail is a super-cute low-effort max-impact kinda style.
