How to choose your new winter coat Wrap up warm without sacrificing style
As temperatures drop and winter begins to set in, it’s time to consider investing in some suitable outerwear. With such a range of styles and technical capabilities on offer, the selection available can sometimes feel overwhelming. But don’t fear: the perfect coat is out there somewhere. And, if you take the time to get it right, your new coat will serve you through this winter and beyond.
If you need to look good while on the move in the city:
Try our 2017 Creative Call Out finalist Trickcoo. Slim silhouettes and a wheel of colour options make this technically minded brand a smart choice that blends form and function.
If you favour function and need heavy-duty protection:
Take a look at Canada Goose. Their coats are the real deal: cut from hyper-protective fabrics and filled with warming down, they’re favoured by arctic explorers as much as those battling frosty streets.
If you want a look that’s totally current:
Balenciaga should be your first port of call for cutting-edge flair. Decades of being at the forefront of design ensure that this Parisian house will give you a fashion-forward winter look, while embroidery and graphics guarantee impact.
If you need protection from the rain:
Swedish rainwear brand Stutterheim make stylish waterproofs that are worth an investment. They’re also the lightest of all the coats mentioned here, so are perfect for those in warmer climes who only have occasional showers to worry about.
If you can’t make up your mind:
The parka by 49Winters consists of multiple parts that can be added, removed or swapped out to personalise your look and level of protection. With over three thousand styling options across the collection, there’s no excuse for not finding the perfect cover-up.
