It’s official: summer is over. How do we know, we hear literally nobody in Britain ask? The dramatic drop in temperature and the never-ending drizzle are a sure-fire giveaway. But there’s one consolation we’re using to pacify ourselves – and it’s that we get to upgrade our autumn/winter wardrobes with the best coats and jackets to shield us from the elements.
If you also need a new ladies’ coat or jacket, but aren’t sure which style to go for, you’re in the right place. Allow us to share our new-season favourites that will be taking pride of place in our outerwear collection this year: from classic trenches to padded picks.
Everyone knows a trench coat is a classic wardrobe staple, and this double-breasted, notched lapel design from Dorothy Perkins is the one we’ve got our eye on. Available in two colourways, it features contrast gold-toned buttons and a belted waist to ensure a customisable, flattering fit, effortlessly bridging the gap between function and fashion.
Berry tones are set to be the shade of the season, so get ahead of the trend with this longline oversized coat. In a warm, rich colourway, the coat is fashioned with classic notch lapels, front pockets and a trio of tortoiseshell buttons, designed to keep you feeling toasty and looking sophisticated, whatever’s on the agenda.
Bring a pop of colour to your wardrobe with this petite teal coat. Offering comfort and sophistication all-in-one, it features a mid-length, tailored collar design, crafted from woven fabric for warmth and durability. The double-breasted style with metallic buttons brings a military-inspired finish to the piece - and the rich colourway is the perfect autumn-winter hue.
A water-resistant padded jacket to help you battle the elements this rainy season. Equipped with a barrelled, microfiber filler design, longer length and added hood, the jacket retains heat well, perfect for long dog walks or those who love to be outdoors, even in the winter!
Prefer fashion with a sustainable touch? You’ve found the perfect piece. The quilted jacket provides protection from the elements without the bulk, and the thermal filling not only locks in the warmth, but it’s also made entirely from recycled plastic bottles. What’s more? It squashes down super small, meaning it takes up very little space while you’re travelling.
If versatility is at the top of your autumn-winter wishlist, we’ve found the perfect puffer jacket for you. Featuring a padded design, this warm yet lightweight padded jacket will keep you insulated all year long, and has a multi-wear style, meaning you can fashion it as a longer coat, shorter coat, or quilted gilet.
Layer up in luxury with this opera coat. Crafted from an eco-conscious blend of recycled polyester and wool, the coat ensures an ultra-flattering silhouette on all figures, thanks to its structured, fitted body and subtle pleated flare. Complete with velvet black accents on the neckline, pockets and button-through front, this one will make you stand out in the crowd.
Paint the town red with this military-style coat. Equipped with concealed pockets, collar and double-breasted details, this one’s perfect for elevating your wardrobe and bringing a pop of colour to any look.
Have you ever seen a more classic-looking trench? With wide lapels, double-breasted button closure and adjustable belted details at the cuffs and waist, the coat ensures a customisable fit, allowing you to cinch the waist for a flattering silhouette. Shoulder epaulettes, storm shield and gun flap details also bring a military heritage edge to the design, realised in a solid neutral hue to complement all your autumn-winter looks.
Cosy? Check. Warm? Check. Luxury feel? Check! Crafted from the highest-grade, double-faced sheep skin (with thick sheep skin lining), the jacket is designed to keep you as comfortable as possible, complete with a full-length YKK zip fastening, pockets, adjustable waist strap detailing, and an additional collar buckle which can be fastened for further warmth.
Stay on-trend with this classic bomber jacket. Made from faux leather, the oversized and cropped design sports a gathered, ribbed waistband with matching cuffs, front zip detailing, and zip-up pockets for added convenience. This one’s the perfect transition jacket as the weather gets a little bit cooler.
