Is it just me, or is this season being dominated by grey coats? Between the sell-out COS style that every influencer managed to bag (which I, meanwhile, spent hours refreshing my browser for to no avail) to the slew of cosy, slate-shaded robe coats worn by Londoners and Parisiennes alike, there’s no doubt about it; grey coats are where it’s at this winter.
My favourite trends are the ones that seem so simple, it’s surprising that they weren’t a thing all along, and the grey coat certainly falls into that category. Although all signs point to it being a classic addition to any coat collection, grey tones are often overlooked, particularly so when you compare them to the popularity of black, cream, or camel. Upon them becoming more commonplace, I actively had to look through my wardrobe to see if I already owned one that I simply didn’t remember I had. For someone who basically collects outerwear—I live in Scotland, where it’s always cold, so I get good use of it—it was a shock that I didn’t.
With that and the Christmas money burning that’s still burning a hole in my pocket, I decided to go on the search for the perfect grey coat. In the process, I believe I’ve come across the best grey coats for every budget and aesthetic. From the warming robe coats of which I’ve previously spoken to the sharply tailored styles that’ll give any outfit serious polish, scroll on to see my edit of the sleekest, most-timeless grey coats around.
