The Winter Coats You’ll Wear All Season

A timeless staple with vintage appeal, this season’s shearling coats oscillate between understated and ultra glamorous. Sitting in the latter camp, Nour Hammour’s plush ‘Giovanna’ style has an elegant shawl collar and a sash belt to cinch the waist, creating a classically feminine silhouette. Meanwhile, Yves Salomon’s burgundy style, has more of a poised retro feel and looks so elegant paired with leather gloves and knee-high boots. For a piece that can be worn from dawn to dusk, Toteme’s draped style comes in impossibly soft tan shearling with a fleecy lining and oozes contemporary cool. Slip it on with off-duty denim and cashmere or tailoring.

An oversized coat adds instant cool points to an outfit, presenting casual confidence with minimal effort. For a foundational piece that retains its elegance into the evening, Róhe’s faux fur-trimmed ‘Ezra’ style – another NET-A-PORTER exclusive – looks great with both eveningwear and layered over off-duty denim. For the office, embrace the cocooning shape of Toteme’s ‘Shield’ double-breasted coat, which looks sensational layered over sleek tailoring. Alternatively, for something with more everyday appeal, try Calvin Klein Collection’s ‘Beatrice’ coat in wool and cashmere-blend – it’s a style you’ll reach for time and time again.

Both leather and suede have really come into their own as sleek outerwear staples, and this season they go beyond classic biker styles. Longline silhouettes tap into the mood of the moment, mixing practical polish with a vintage feel for everyday wear. The perfect example, Nour Hammour’s glamorous ‘Briona’ version in burgundy leather speaks to the season’s faux-fur trend and will look effortless slipped on over a cashmere sweater and jeans. The brand’s beige suede trench coat, on the other hand, exudes '70s chic. Plus, it’s a highlight from our NET SUSTAIN edit. Don’t miss timeless styles by Toteme and new brand Arma, too.

Whether it’s made from cotton or wool (or features a practical water-resistant finish), the trench coat is a timeless fall/winter option – guaranteed to be an on-rotation staple that elevates your everyday outfits. The roomy shape is suited for layering over chunky knitwear, while the belt can be tied loosely for a more relaxed look or knotted to cinch your waist. Trans-seasonal heroes can be found at Bottega Veneta, Toteme and Maison Margiela. Elsewhere, Sharon Wauchob’s ‘Lee’ style comes in a flowing silk-blend that’s perfect for evening layered over a slip dress.
