24 Oct The Coat Trends to Take You Through AW22 And Beyond

FIND YOUR PERFECT COAT MATCH WITH OUR ROUND UP OF ALL THE BEST STYLES TO TAKE YOU THROUGH THIS AUTUMN/WINTER AND BEYOND

Shorter days, less fun weather, and colder temperatures mean winter isn’t always the most hotly anticipated time of year. But aside from Christmas cheer and the joys of a fresh New Year, there is always the joy of delving into your coat collection and wrapping up warm in something fabulous. Aside from the comfort a great coat can provide against the winter chill, it also has the ability to completely lift your entire outfit. Even your sweats can look chic with the right coat thrown over the top. The AW22 collections were full of dramatic maxi length coats, serious amounts of faux fur and texture, and a whole lot of leather. But seeing as your coat will get some serious wear, it’s not just about trends. Aside from keeping your warm, your coat needs to go with everything in your wardrobe (ish) and be something you will love for seasons to come. Whether you enjoy cosying up in an oversized swathe of something soft, a snappy and chic tailored coat, or cheering up a gloomy day in bright colours, your winter coat is arguably the most important puzzle piece of your autumn/winter wardrobe. Luckily, we have managed to round-up some of the best buys for this season and many more to come.

Belted Wrap Coats

A beautiful blanket of a coat you can wrap around and belt yourself into always feels so comforting when the temperatures drop. It also looks seriously chic. Not to mention timeless, which is why this ever popular outerwear style remains in our seasonal coat round-up. It never goes out of style.

This Magda Butrym double-breasted belted coat with a subtle herringbone pattern is so chic and has a great fit. It’s also currently 30% off in the sale.

If you want structure, this Mango Selection Collection fitted option is for you. This coat is selling fast but this similar belted version comes in sizes XXS to 4XL and is also at a slightly lower price point.

Classic and hardwearing Herringbone in an oversized fashion fit. This has sold out in some sizes, but there is a new cream textured Alpaca wool & cotton version you need to see too.

This oversized Weekday wool camel trench coat looks as great with brights as it does with dark and neutral shades. & Other Stories also has a great beige belted trench option.

Oversized Coats

An oversized coat not only looks forever cool, but it also makes sense. You can fit so many more layers without ruining your silhouette when the fit is oversized.

This chic Wardrobe NYC coat is selling fast and there is also a black version.

This minimally finished coat from COS has a relaxed silhouette with drop shoulders and an elegant funnel neck that will keep the draft out.

This H&M light beige coat has a great cocoon shape.

Timeless Black Coats

A timeless black coat option is the staple of any coat collection. A perfect black coat will be your fallback time and again, whether sleek and single-breasted, oversized and menswear-inspired, or in this season’s favourite maxi lengths.

This Acne Studios coat is perfect for layering.

The longer length of this single-breasted black Wardrobe NYC coat is very now and will also provide extra warmth.

Bright Coats

A dopamine-inducing bright can sometimes be just the tonic you need on a grey day. Whether you use it to brighten a wardrobe full of neutrals, or you’re a pro with colour blocking, your outerwear is a great place to introduce colour in winter.

This blue hue in textured brushed wool is just a dream. H&M also has a nice bright blue double-breasted coat option if your budget doesn’t stretch to this blue beauty.

Faking it

Though faux fur has been popular for a few seasons, it was seriously prevalent for AW22. Coming in a whole host of fun colours at Coperni and 16Arlington, textured at Stella McCartney and Chloe, and classic and all-encompassing at Saint Laurent, designers got creative with faux-fur this season. If you have so far resisted the lure of a comforting faux fur coat, this might be the season that tempts you.

This neutral but unusual dark grey colour looks so chic on this faux fur belted coat from Proenza Schouler White Label.

A brightly coloured faux fur might not be the most timeless option for everyone, but if you’re not afraid of brights, this amazing cobalt blue option might be the one for you.

This elegant short faux fur coat has a 60s vibe to it. It also comes in black, but this eggshell yellow is so chic.

The vibes at Saint Laurent were to go big or go home by way of maxi coats or mega fluffy faux fur.

Animal print and in particular classic leopard, was another big AW22 trend, especially for outerwear. This Rixo leopard print faux fur coat is so classic and so cool.

The grey colour of this fluffy coat makes it look far pricier than it is.

Short Coats

Though maxi coats are having a major moment, there are plenty of shorter options showing up this season too. A slightly more transitional approach to outerwear, shorter coats certainly have their appeal for the throw-on-and-go factor. Cropped silhouettes might not be as warm, but they pair really well with this season’s baggier trouser trends and also allow you to showcase new season knee-high boots to the maximum. Plus they are a little more transitional, so you can get more wear out of these shorter jackets on the other side of winter.

Totême’s jackets are influencer favourites, as we have all seen from the Toteme Scarf Coat. This new season camel shawl collar wool jacket is as chic as you would expect from this minimalist brand and comes in black too.

This dreamy new season Bottega Veneta coat is made from double-faced wool and cashmere and is finished with leather trims and a tonal leather belt. It even has a hood that you didn’t know you wanted until now. If your budget is a little less grand, see this French Connection hooded & belted coat.

Another belted beauty at a slightly more affordable price, this Reformation short belted coat also comes in brown.

Wrap yourself in comfort in this wide lapel Alpaca and wool blend coat.

This recycled wool blend coat from COS uses fabric from Italian textile innovators, Manteco and has dropped shoulders that create a cool cocoon silhouette.

If you are hankering after the Bottega Veneta new season curved pea coat but don’t quite have the budget, then Arket wool pea coat is a little more attainable. Also see this & Other Stories Navy Wool Pea Coat.

If your budget doesn’t quite stretch to Toteme, don’t miss this ultra-chic shawl collar coat from H&M. It also comes in a timeless black.

Leather and Shearling Coats

Leather is big news this autumn/winter, and a leather trench is a perfect choice for layering up when it’s cold but not too cold. If you haven’t already invested in a trusty leather trench in previous seasons, AW22’s iterations may finally tempt you. And as you won’t have failed to notice shearling jackets are also having a major moment, which is handy because they are incredibly cosy. There are lots of great faux options around or try resale sites for a vintage shearling gem.

This double-breasted long burgundy leather coat from Massimo Dutti is dreamy.

This Mango leather effect trench coat is a great affordable option.

Saks Potts shearling trimmed leather trench coats are divine, search resale sites for pre-loved options like this sage green one on Vestiaire Collective.

This Reformation Leather coat has a minimalist 90s feel that’s so ready for SS23.

If you are searching for a shearling coat, vintage shops and sites are a great place to start.

If your vintage shearling coat dreams don’t come to fruition, this Mango iteration is currently 33% off in the sale….

This looks so warm and so cool all at once.

This jacket keeps selling out, so keep yourself notified of its return if it’s not available in your size. If you have no luck, this longer-line Albaray duffle jacket is cute and of course, there is the Toteme jacket if you are looking to make an investment purchase.
