I’m warming to the idea of winter. While Halloween, Christmas and my birthday are all very exciting, if I’m honest the one thing swaying me towards accepting the arrival of the new season is the idea of buying a new winter coat.
Coats are my guilty pleasure. I have more hanging in my wardrobe than I’d care to admit, but I adore them. I allow myself to buy one every year and I keep hold of them until they fall apart.

The thing about outerwear is that you have to wear it everywhere you go. It’s different to a pair of jeans or a jumper, which you wear sporadically.
Not only that, but your trusty winter coat is the one item stopping you from freezing to death when you step out of the front door.
If I’ve convinced you to invest in a winter coat, you’ll be glad to know that I spent the best part of a day looking for the best options that are out there right now – and boy, there are a few.
Quilted coats feature heavily, with pretty much every high street brand having their own iteration of the iconic Frankie Shop piece.
Trench coats, which never disappear from our radar, are also back on the agenda, while faux fur appears too.
One of the most notable trends though is the sudden appearance of colour. I’m talking neon yellow, bright blue and so much green. As someone who hates wearing all black, I couldn’t be more enthusiastic about this.
I’ve put together an edit of 66 of the best coats you can buy right now from Cos, Zara, H&M, Mango and more, with plus-size, petite and tall pieces available.
Plus, for those working on shopping more sustainably, I found a few vintage beautiful pieces just dying for a new home.
