Seeing as autumn seemed to kick into gear the moment October started, it’s handy that our favourite brands are brimming with beautiful coats right on cue. And just like buying swimwear and sandals early on in spring, we always advise investing in a coat at the start of the season, before most of the key styles sell out—which they inevitably will—leaving you with limited options. But which types of coats are on the style agenda for 2021? We’re glad you asked…
On the outerwear menu this year, there are the classics—think camel coats, trenches and cosy faux fur—but there are also a few key styles that started out as microtrends but have now graduated to become winter-wardrobe must-haves well worth considering. Needless to say, both types of coats deserve a place in your wardrobe.
So to guide you through the various coat trends on offer, we’ve looked to our favourite influencers for inspiration. Consider this your winter coat cheat sheet.
