Whether you're a fan of puffers, trenches or oversized teddy coats, there's no way to deny that the humble coat is an absolute necessity as we head into the autumn season. Thankfully, as per usual, there is plenty of inspiration to be had from the fashion crowd, proving that coats needn't be an afterthought.
We're seeing a number of standout trends start to emerge as we settle into September, and each and every one of them can be worn now with light layers then bulked up for the winter months. We're talking luxe leather trenches, which will look so good with jeans and chunky boots, checked coats, for plenty of punk-inspired vibes, oh and not forgetting the clean-lined appeal of the classic wrap coat. So many dreamy styles, so little time.
While we might have to uphold social distancing rules this season, this doesn't mean we can't glean a little joy from investing in a beautiful winter coat. After all, when we're out and about, it's all you can see of an outfit. So, if you're in need of some outwear inspo, keep scrolling to see the styles we're bookmarking this autumn.
