Bundling up for a chilly New York day is no small task. Between bracing against icy temperatures and navigating the city’s unspoken “smart casual” dress code, pulling together an outfit that’s both chic and practical can feel like a challenge, even for the best dressers. So when Lily Allen stepped out this week in an ensemble that nailed the brief, I immediately took note.
Starting with a standout layer, Lily kept cosy in a fluffy faux-fur jacket from London label Hush. A favourite among UK fashion insiders, Hush has built a reputation for elevated outerwear that looks as good as it feels—so it’s no surprise to see the brand making waves across the Atlantic.
Opting for a decadent dark-chocolate hue, Lily’s plush coat was the star of her look. She styled it with a soft grey knit, a sleek black leather skirt, also from the British label, and sturdy lug-sole boots—an outfit that worked just as well on New York's sidewalks as it would London's pavements.
And while NYC has no shortage of chic labels, the British style scene is equally adept at producing cold-weather staples worth investing in. Although Lily’s exact fluffy jacket is currently sold out, Hush has plenty of similarly cosy alternatives to consider. Meanwhile, other home-grown heroes—Aligne, Damson Madder and Peachy Den, to name just a few—are serving up outerwear collections that city dwellers on both sides of the pond will find hard to resist.
Read on to shop the best London outerwear to see you stylishly through winter.
