It’s Official: These are the 21 Chicest Long Wool Coats For 2026
Believe me when I say every elevated dresser is wearing long wool coats on repeat this winter. These are the 21 best styles to shop, from Rohé to Max Mara.
As the New Year swept in, I, like many of us, used the days before to reset. Having edited my London capsule wardrobe down to 11 elevated pieces weeks prior, I truly believed I was in a good place. That was until I took a look at the long wool coats in my rotation and realised it was a category I had feverishly overlooked.
Simple in its construction yet perennially chic, the long wool coat as a category is fairly broad. Whether your style of choice is an irreverently oversized overcoat like those popularised by The Frankie Shop, or an elevated scarfed iteration by Toteme, there are many out there, all able to work with almost anything in your wardrobe.
And, whilst winter is often synonymous with the fun the festivities bring, its icy chill waits for no one. Sure, a cosy duvet-esque puffer might be warmer for snow days; if the goal is to look smart whilst feeling like you’re receiving a warm hug, a long wool coat is a cold-weather no-brainer.
With designers such as Max Mara, Tove and Rohé consistently championing the long wool coat year after year, it feels well placed amongst the tapered trousers and slip-on loafers slowly filtering into our 2026 capsule wardrobes.
When it comes to the long wool coat its all about choice. If you're able to invest in a luxury option, you can be sure the cost-per-wear will tick down steadily over the many years you own it. But there are also some excellent and more affordable wool coats on the high street now, too. Just be sure to look for the highest wool fabrication you can afford; this way, it’ll age gracefully with you.
Keep scrolling to uncover a thorough list of the 21 best wool coats on the market right now. As well as some chic inspiration to inspire your cold-weather styling this winter, you’re welcome!

What is a Long Wool Coat?
As the name suggests, a long wool coat is a outerwear garment made from wool. Typically falling below the knee (but sometimes a smidge above it) these coats come in a variety of shapes, fabrications and patterns. Depending on the price point, finding a 100% wool coat can be quite tough as they typically lean more expensive. My advice is to look for a wool blend, with the higher percentage of wool or other natural fibers, the better. For more luxury options, look to wool blends with softer blends like mohair and cashmere.
Long wool coats are great for winter as it's the coldest time of year, and wool is naturally insulating, making outerwear in this material the perfect component to fight off winter's chill.
