Steep vs Cheap: the military coat

A military coat is a definite for any fashionista’s wardrobe – it just keeps coming back every season. What with winter fast approaching, it’s time to start thinking about looking good as well as keeping warm, and what better way of achieving it than with a fabulous on-trend coat. We’ve fallen head over heels for this amazing Burberry Prorsum piece that, if it didn’t set us back £1,395, we’d have certainly snapped up.

With stylish bronze double-breasted buttons, Burberry’s jacket is certain to give you a gorgeous sharp silhouette – the perfect outerwear to accompany any day-to-evening look. Ever versatile, it’ll look super-stylish teamed with just about anything, but we’d choose luxe leather leggings, a fine knit and sleek sky-scraping ankle boots for show-stopping style.

Luckily, after much searching high and low, we came across a great copy at an even better price, from none other than Matalan. This great imitation piece is the perfect alternative to make a sophisticated on-trend statement this winter that will keep your purse happy, too.

Get Matalan’s khaki military coat from matalan.co.uk for £40, or if you have the cash to flash, get Burberry Prorsum’s design at Net-a-Porter.com, for £1,395.
