Last year, I set myself the task to find the cosiest winter coat on offer. After a week of searching, I settled on an oversized puffer from Arket, which is made from recycled down and is quite possibly the warmest thing I’ve ever put on my body, and it has in fact remained a staple this year, too.
In my research, I looked at every puffer coat on the internet, so I thought I’d share with you my rather extensive shortlist of coats, many of which are back in stock this season. If you have a higher budget, Moncler, Max Mara and Prada are the clear front runners, and unsurprisingly, I’ve found that Scandi brands really excel when it comes to coats that could take on the Arctic (or an al-fresco dinner in December). H&M, ACNE Studios, Arket, & Other Stories, Barbour, M&S and Burberry all have amazing coats that are practical as well as stylish, from longer coats to slightly shorter jackets.
If you want to join me and dress extra cosy this winter, keep scrolling for my edit of the best puffer and quilted coats that are ready to take on winter with you.
