The ever-on-trend beige trench coat is a perfect capsule wardrobe staple. Sported by everyone, from Audrey Hepburn in Breakfast at Tiffany's to Françoise Hardy in Grand Prix, update yours this autumn with new fabrics, colours and finishes.

The classically silhouetted camel coat is a testament to timeless fashion. Over the years, it’s been spotted on everyone from Princess Diana to Meghan Markle. Its classic lines, masculine cut and oversized silhouette make for a true winter investment.

A Fashion Week favourite, the sheepskin jacket is a classic off-duty look. Opt for aviator styles and pair with a crisp white shirt, jeans or leather trousers to nail the relaxed vibe, or channel your boho spirit with a waistcoat version for '70s.

Cold days are made for wrapping up warm. The parka – a subculture-transcending favourite of the Brits – can be spotted on Quadrophenia-loving mods and the Royals alike. Freshen up any outfit with one of these styles, ready to take on cooler temperatures.

Even high-performance outwear has a life beyond the ski slopes and trekking trails. This autumn and winter, you'll see quilted coats from Herno, The North Face and more in the city, thanks to the increasing influence of the gorpcore trend.

Far from the original 1917 army pilot design, the bomber jacket has become a sought-after fashion staple. Favourites include the leather bomber and the Americana-infused varsity letterman. For a softer twist, look to a romantically pink, puffed version.
