Our 20 favourite winter coats

[nextpage title=”Next”]

As the sky’s getting greyer, and the temperature’s beginning to drop, it’s starting to feel more and more like the time to get searching for the ultimate winter coat – a pretty daunting task, seeing as there are just so many out there right now (and we sort of want every single one of them).

To help you out a bit with choosing the perfect coat to see you through the winter, and some of the autumn, we’ve chosen 20 of our favourites. If you’re wanting something bright, or if you like your coat a bit more subtle and smart, we’ve got you covered. You’re welcome in advance!

1) Betty Jackson.Black at Debenhams

shinyshiny’s very own columnist, Lauren Bravo’s coat of choice, this light pink oversized coat from Betty Jackson.Black at Debenhams is an incredibly stylish way of keeping warm this winter. Styled in a wool blend, this vintage-style coat has a mock double breasted fastening with two discreet front pockets and is fully lined. Although a bit pricey, this coat could definitely last you for years. It’s basically an investment.

Get yours from Debenhams for £159.

2) Missguided

Pastel colours are SO on-trend this year, and this mint coloured tailored textured longline coat, from Missguided, is definitely one of our favourites. The bright mint colour means it can take you from autumn all the way to spring, and the modern cocoon shape makes it a staple piece for your transitional wardrobe.

Get yours from Missguided for £39.99.

3) Boohoo

Having been given this from Boohoo, I may be being completely biased, but I’m pretty obsessed with this coat. The pastel blue colour really stands out, and makes every single outfit that bit better. I’ve been so desperate for cold weather just to wear mine, that I’ve been wearing it on non-coat-essential days, and have actually had a lot of compliments about it.

While it’s wooly on the outside, it has a thin lining, so is perfect for transitioning from autumn to winter to spring, as it isn’t that heavy. My only criticism would be that, while it’s great that Boohoo has a plus-size section, I really don’t agree with charging an extra £5 for the bigger sizes than smaller ones.

Get yours from Boohoo for £45 or £50 from Boohoo Plus.

4) ASOS

Another pastel-coloured, boyfriend coat, there’s clearly a pattern occurring here. This pale pink one looks so warm and wintery, as if it would just be a big hug constantly when you’re freezing in the snow. The ASOS coat also comes in a dark blue, which we love too.

Get yours from ASOS for £75.

14) Mango
