21 of the best overcoats to keep you warm this winter
A coat for every style, shape, and budget ♥
You know it’s time to break out the overcoat when the temperature plummets overnight and suddenly you’re sending emails in the dark at your desk at 3:30pm (WTF?). If your little leather jacket is leaving you shivering at the bus stop, scroll down to shop our edit of longer, heavier-weight overcoats.
We’ve got pea coats, felt, wool, and ones for every size and budget. Pick up a checked one to smarten up your everyday look, or a classic navy longline one to wear with everything. Feeling brave? Why not go for Michael Kors' leopard-print trench, or Stand Studio's buttercup yellow coat?
If you’re after a coat to wear to work, Levi's, Ted Baker, and The Outnet have got the goods. You can’t go wrong with a rollneck peeking out underneath the top (this is a great way to show off layered gold necklaces too), and jeans and boots. Feeling a more casual vibe? Let a hoodie in a contrasting colour stick out.
There are plenty of belted options on the high street if you prefer to show off your waist, but looser, boxy styles aren’t necessarily unflattering either (see Monki's cool menswea-inspired style). Top it all off with some warm gloves, a giant cosy scarf, and a beret, beanie, or baker boy hat. (A flask of hot tea might not hurt either – brr). Boom – you’re ready to face the chilly grey days. Take that, S.A.D.
