I t’s November, which means your thick tights and cosiest jumpers have emerged from that box under the bed. And while winter weather brings with it a whole host of wardrobe-related challenges, few can’t be solved with the addition of an outstanding coat.

A coat is the easiest way to add a stamp of your signature style to an outfit. They bring sophistication, drama, and (for some, most importantly) warmth. Elevate a simple jeans-and-tee outfit with a statement jacket, or pair a classic tailored option with a skirt and your favourite boots for an evening-out cheat code.

Whether it’s floor-length and funnel-neck or colourful and cropped, we’ve hand-selected 47 of the very best women’s coats you can buy this season.
