The game changer: a robe coat

Temperatures are plummeting, there’s a chill in the air and the days are getting shorter – all of which, to be frank, combine to make the idea of leaving the house less than appealing. Thankfully, some of fashion’s most influential designers seem to be of the same persuasion. Enter the robe coat. This effortlessly elegant style, which dominated the FW19 runways, is one of those magical pieces that is as comfortable as it is covetable. From the butter-soft leathers on display at Balenciaga to Salvatore Ferragamo’s touch-me textures and Roksanda’s timeless blanket design, no matter which style you’re drawn to, you can stay swaddled up all winter. Consider it the high-fashion take on hygge.
