When I tell you this coat is CONSTANTLY out of stock... You better pounce. This is one of the most hyped coats of the season, and I fully get why. It's the perfect combination of a barn jacket and a trench. The result? *So* chic!
Sizes: 4 to 22
This bold faux fur jacket from Free People is a total game-changer for chilly days that'll have you racking up the compliments. I’m obsessed with the statement sherpa trim and the oversized, boxy fit is perfect for layering. Whether you go for the black & white, brown & orange, or lilac colourway, it’s a standout piece for sure.
Sizes: 2 to 20
This longline quilt coat is an absolute must for the colder months. The khaki shade is so on-trend, and the bright orange lining gives it a fun twist. It’s the perfect throw-on piece for chilly days.
Sizes: 10 to 32
This coat is absolutely ridiculous in the best way possible. Lazy Oaf is known for its wacky designs and playful prints, and I am fully obsessed with this cartoon cat puffer. Look, it's not for everyone – but I highly rate this. It's so comfy and has an almost vintage look to it. The size range is fab, too.
Sizes: 6 to 22
Everyone needs a trench coat to throw on, and while beige is the obvious choice we love this grey to mix it up a bit. A perfect coat to take you from early autumn through winter and into the bleak days of spring, this one from ASOS can be chucked over any outfit and will look chic.
Sizes: 18 to 30
This blue quilted jacket from White Stuff is just *so* cute. Plus, it's fully reversible, with a herringbone-style knit on the other side. Two coats for the price of one, what a barg.
Sizes: 6 to 24
AllSaints is *thee* cool girl brand, and this oversized cropped puffer is no exception to the rule. It's a shame their size range is so limited, but one silver lining is that a lot of their items – this coat included – run very, very oversized. You can size down once or twice for this jacket. It has a satin sheen to it and added zip detailing across the sleeves and back. The crop is perfect, as it allows the jacket to still look oversized without swamping you.
Sizes: 6 to 16
The Valentine jacket from Damson Madder is such a statement piece. With its oversized fit and charming bow details, it’s all about making a bold impression. I love that it’s fully reversible, giving you two fabulous looks in one. I'd recommend sizing down at least once, possibly twice for this, as it's *very* oversized.
Sizes: 6 to 20
Every wardrobe needs a standout formal coat, and this one is it. The brushed wool fabric feels super luxurious, and the tailored fit gives it that polished vibe. It’s the kind of coat that instantly makes any outfit look put together, and you’ll want to reach for it on those days when you need to look sharp.
Sizes: 10 to 32
Seasalt Cornwall Field Path Padded Waterproof Jacket
This is one of the more practical jackets in this list, but it doesn't comprimise on style. The grid pattern is a cute touch, but what makes this jacket worth the money is how incredibly warm it is. It's also got a pack-away hood, so you can switch up your look depending on the weather.
Sizes: 8 to 22
The Callaway jacket from Lucy & Yak is a total '90s throwback! I’m obsessed with the straight fit and the bold patchwork design – it’s the perfect blend of fun and retro. The adjustable hem lets you play with the waist fit for a more laid-back look, and the pockets are super handy too. Also huge props to the brand for their amazing inclusivity across all their styles, and for always having diverse models too. We need more of this.
Sizes: 6 to 32
I'm not one to usually go for a furry puffer jacket, but this bright yellow one from UGG caught my attention. It's a definite statement, so don't bother if you want something that'll go with every outfit – this one is for the fashion gworls. The microfleece-lined pockets are a lifesaver for keeping my hands warm, and I love that it’s filled with recycled synthetic down – a nice eco-friendly touch.
Sizes: 4 to 26
Sure, this coat isn't anything groundbreaking but it's a cosy must-have for any winter wardrobe. It literally feels like you're wrapped up in a cosy duvet – something that'll make getting out of the house on chilly days *much*easier.
Sizes: UK16 to 26
This coat is *everything*. You will feel like the main diva as soon as this is slung over your shoulders, the sheer BDE it provides is worth the investment. This comes up very oversized, so its largest size (UK16) could fit up to a size 20, IMO. Disappointed it doesn't run in their Curve range though bc this coat is so fabulous.
Sizes: UK 4 to 16
River Island Brown leather oversized biker jacket
River Island has truly nailed it with this gorgeous oversized real leather jacket. The washed dark brown shade means it's bang on trend, and the fit just oozes off-duty model. Their standard range runs up to a UK 18 and the plus size range from 20 to 26.
Sizes: 20 to 26
