Your ultimate guide to buying the perfect winter coat

Brr. Feel that? It’s the cold setting in. Ah yes, the clocks have gone back, the days are getting shorter, the mornings feel like the middle of the night, evening comes round quicker than you can leave the office and there’s a distinctly cold chill in the air.

But hey, getting set for winter isn’t all bad, you know. And if you’re looking for ways to warm up, boy have we got a suitably stylish treat in store.

If there’s one thing the new season gets us excited for, it’s choosing a winter coat – and let’s not underestimate the importance of that purchase, girls. Practical, warm and snug – sure – but since it’s all anyone will see you in come Christmas, it needs to be seriously stylish to boot.

Well, you’re in luck – we’ve had a scout around our favourite online haunts for the hottest outerwear around. From boyfriend-style blazers and classic cuts to cute capes and cool finishing touches, here’s our favourite wow winter warmers that’ll make the cold that bit more bearable.
