Raey Coats Are Inherently Chic—14 Timeless Styles to Covet

last updated 8 December 2023

If the recent drop in temperature and first flurries of icy leaves on the ground have got you planning ahead for the colder days coming, then coats are probably on your radar right now. If you're hunting for something that will last withstand moving trends in your wardrobe, you're in the right place.

Those of you who have been saving winter inspo on Instagram over the last couple of years are probably already familiar with Raey coats—even if you don't know it. It's fair to say influencers and fashion people are hooked on them, but unlike other cult items, these minimalist maxi coats aren't flashy or even that recognisable—and that's a good thing. They're truly timeless, making them a very wise investment. They've been the hero pieces of the MATCHES in-house label's offering for years now, and as we head into another winter season, they show no signs of slowing down.

Made from heavyweight fabrics such as wool and in classic colours like black, navy, cream and grey, these beautiful coats are unsurprisingly popular among some of the coolest people we know. Classic they may be, but they're also far from boring thanks to their exaggerated fits and androgynous tailoring.

One of our favourite influencers, Alexis Foreman, made a point to tell us about her obsession with Raey coats recently. She bought her grey style a few years back, and it's still available in navy and leopard print colours for 2023.

Clearly these coats are trending, but they're also forever pieces that will stand the test of time. Keep scrolling to shop Raey's coats, and if your favourite is out of stock (did I mention they're like gold dust to get hold of?) don't panic. You can always add it to your wish list to be notified when it's back.
