A textured coat adds interest to any outfit – and nothing says cosy and cool like the teddy coat. Beige and camel shades might be the classics, but don’t be afraid to branch out with bright colours or pastels for a summer throwback.

When the new season calls, answer its challenges with high-performance outerwear that matches style with substance. From a water-repellent parka to a Sherpa-lined jacket, these versatile pieces adapt to the weather, whatever it brings.

From blazers to tuxedos, every wardrobe could use a little tailoring. A preppy blazer is the easiest way to add a dose of professionalism, while the fashion-industry favourite, the smoking jacket, gives extra oomph in the evening.

Whether quilted, hooded or maxi, the perfect puffer adds an air of effortlessness to any look. Clashing contrasting styles is encouraged this autumn, so pair your puffer with something smart for full marks.

Can’t bear to leave the warm comfort of your house when the weather turns cold? These cocoon coats are the next best thing. Part blanket, part dressing gown, voluminous proportions are a given with these styles.

Long in length and structured in design, tailored coats and timeless trenches will see you from work to weekend year after year. While neutral tones are easy to style, bolder colours let your creativity run wild.

Available in a variety of autumnal colours, denim jackets and leather bikers are evergreen essentials that have been given a new season spin. Select a style with metal hardware, a bold pattern or a faux-fur collar for a subtle twist on the classics.
