How to choose an autumn coat
It's one of the best times in any fashion lover's year – the weather's getting cooler, the nights are getting longer and our knitwear, tights, and boots are front and centre in our wardrobes again. The only thing missing? The perfect autumn coat or jacket.
From trench coats and puffer jackets to wool coats, the possibilities are endless when it comes to autumnal outerwear. If you're not sure where to start, opt for something that will look great thrown over pretty much every outfit, like our longline tailored coat in this rich caramel hue. Its single-breasted silhouette is a classic for a reason, and works just as well over a suit for your commute to the office as it does with a jumper and jeans.
Styling your autumn coat
A coat or jacket doesn't have to hide your carefully put-together look – the trick is to make it a key part of the outfit. This faux shearling aviator jacket from our Per Una collection is striking enough to make a statement, while its relaxed silhouette and neutral colour allow it to work with your look, rather than against it.
While the weather's still warm enough, leave your coat or jacket undone to show off the rest of your outfit. When the temperature drops, it's time to use your outerwear as a canvas for some autumnal accessories, such as a cosy beanie hat, quilted shoulder bag or statement scarf.
Autumn coat trends for 2024
As your coat or jacket is often the first part of your outfit that people see, it can be a great way to showcase your style and try out current trends. Bomber jackets and cropped coats are big news right now – alternatively, dip a toe into the quiet luxury trend with our wrap coat and detachable scarf.
This leather metallic hooded jacket from our Autograph collection ticks two trend boxes in one: leather jackets with oversized silhouettes and metallic finishes. With a relaxed fit, it's wearable enough for daytime, while its shimmering champagne colour makes it the ideal companion for a midi skirt and heels come evening.
Investing in a quality autumn coat
If there's one item of clothing that's worth investing in, it's a coat. When cared for properly, great-quality coats made from premium fabrics such as wool, suede or leather will stand the test of time. It's a good idea to get your coat dry-cleaned once a year to keep it in tip-top condition – aim to do this at the start of autumn so it'll look and feel fresh all season.
Made from pure wool, our Autograph tailored coat is a timeless investment piece. With its versatile navy shade and classic peacoat silhouette, it's the ultimate do-it-all staple: buy it now and wear it for years to come.
