Women’s Wool Coats

Realised in an array of colours and in premium blends like alpaca, shearling, and mohair, this outerwear staple is an undeniably chic way to warn off signs of bad weather.

Whether it’s sharply tailored or slouched and oversized, a wool coat will leave you feeling effortlessly styled. Wrap up in voluminous profiles from brands like Lauren Manoogian, LOEWE, and Mariam al Sibai to layer over the top of roll necks and wide-leg trousers. Sharply cut silhouettes from labels like Alexander McQueen and Yves Salomon complement sleek trousers and knee-length boots.

From mini to midi and maxi, the classic wool coat comes in a variety of lengths to suit all body types. While longer-length coats tend to suit a taller frame, those with broader silhouettes will shine in clean-lined styles with narrow collars and no lapels.

Eternally Stylish Trench Coats for Women

With intermittent downpours and unreliable temperatures, there’s no denying that the trench coat, with its traditional British undertones, is a true outerwear saviour.

When it comes to style, classic hallmarks of the trench coat include military-inspired epaulettes, lapels, a storm flap, double-breasted fastening, and an eternally flattering waist-cinching belt. Look to iconic British brand Burberry for timeless, investment-worthy styles and Chloé or Simone Rocha for a modern take. You’ll find pops of colour to brighten your wardrobe from Remain by Birger Christensen and Balenciaga who opt for florals in contrasting seasonal tones.

Not only will these timeless women’s winter coats transition seamlessly from day to night but they’ll also see you throughout the seasons. Throw yours over everything from hoodies to mini dresses and power suits.

Must-Have Women’s Quilted Jackets

Duvet days just got better – and portable. Keep cosy and wrap up in warm in our collection of women’s quilted coats and jackets. Worn by club-goers in the 80s and 90s, the puffer jacket has been revived by fashion’s finest and we’ve hand-picked some of the best.

Whether you’re shielding yourself from harsh winter weather with fleece-lined and hooded styles or wanting to make a bold style statement, we’ve got you covered. Channel your inner explorer with Canada Goose. A perfect marriage of high-performing qualities and city-ready appeal, their Rossclair white fur-trimmed Arctic Tech parka is a go-to when exploring in cold conditions. Its slim profile is padded with the house’s signature down and completed with the label’s coveted badge on the arm to earn you some serious style points.

Whether you prefer your coat to fall to an ankle-length silhouette or be thigh-skimming and cinching, a quilted coat will layer over a whole host of outfits while seeing you through the seasons.

The Classic Women’s Checked Coat

Invest in a checked coat that will last you all year round. Opt for pastel tones and bright hues that’ll add a pop of colour to your winter wardrobe, as well as give a refreshed feel come spring.

Choose from oversized and small-scaled checks, and tap into your playful side with the faux fur trimmed hoods. This super-soft style pairs with endless off-duty outfits and evokes an undeniably retro mood.

The Maris checked faux fur coat from Stand Studio presents the label’s signature slouched silhouette in a muted sage green check that feels subtle without compromising on style. The wide windowpane style is filtered in soft springtime shades to revive classic flannel elements that feel polished and undeniably pretty too.

From shackets and double-breasted to faux fur designs, the women’s checked coat has been reimagined to suit every style and occasion.
