For most of the year, we will need a coat to step outside. This is all well and good, but how do you match a coat to your outfit? And how do you look good when you’re wearing a jacket? It all comes down to matching the right jacket to the occasion, and there’s a few you will need.
Fashion fads, by definition, come and go. We want to concentrate on the six types of coats that will see you through all occasions. The basic coats that are timeless and a must have for your wardrobe.
Puffer jackets are perfect for casual occasions and long walks in the cold. They don’t just look great, but lofty goose down insulation will keep you toasty warm and the water-repellent finish will keep you dry in those winter storms.
The North Face have nailed the puffer jacket. The iconic Nuptse inspired by the 1996 Nuptse, packs plenty of retro punch.
Layer up a classic gilet under a jumper on those milder, dry days. Down filled and water resistant, gilets add extra warmth and protection from the elements during the autumn months. It’s perfect for when you don’t want to quite accept Summer is over and its not quite the time to dig out “the big winter coat”. This one from Parajumpers is the perfect gilet having lightweight down padding.
Rain jackets are tough and perfect for the worst weather. With added luxuries such as faux fur lining, you can go for cosy, warm raincoats or without for thinner rain jackets that keep you cool and dry. The Barbour Beacon Fell Jacket is perfectly coloured to match the autumnal colours. Featuring a waterproof outer and a wadded inner for dependable warmth as well as a large drawstring hood. This is the timeless rain jacket you need in your wardrobe.
Windbreakers are basically for when the weathers murky but it isn’t necessarily cold. If you want to stay dry but are already wearing a jumper then a windbreak is your perfect choice. Lightweight, windbreakers are also easy to pack into rucksacks if you want to have them as an emergency backup.
This classic windbreaker from Lyle and Scott, designed in a lightweight but durable fabric is perfect for those milder wet days. The elasticated hem and hood is designed to lock in warmth. There is also an internal mesh lining which ensures ultimate breathability throughout.
Parkas are perfect for snowy weather and look smarter than rain coats. With a choice of faux fur hoods, toggles and a wide variety of colours, parkas are great to put over your office wear when commuting.
This Everest Parka from Superdry will keep you warm and dry without breaking the bank. Featuring a large hood with detachable faux fur trim. A quilted lining offering extra warmth and an internal pocket; a great place to keep your keys and phone. This is the must-have piece for your autumn winter collection.
Levis, the home of denim, have created the ideal autumn winter jacket. This Sherpa Trucker may not look like your average winter coat but with its seasonal update, it will keep your warm during those colder days. Featuring warm Sherpa insulation and a soft quilted lining in the sleeves. This jacket has serious comfort with a confident style. It’s bound to become one of your favourite pieces in your autumn winter collection.
