The Best Coats and Jackets for Autumn/Winter 2025

Your coat or jacket is often the first thing people notice, making it the perfect piece to show off your style and embrace the season’s trends.

From trench coats and bomber jackets to funnel neck jackets, the possibilities are endless when it comes to autumn outerwear. If you're not sure where to start, opt for something that will look great thrown over pretty much every outfit, like a longline belted coat in cotton twill or mock croc fabric to add texture.

A single-breasted silhouette is a classic for a reason and works just as well over a suit or sharp dress for your commute as it does with a jumper and jeans.

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.

A winter-weight blazer is sharp enough to make a statement: choose an understated silhouette and neutral colour to ensure it works with your look, rather than against it. When layering during the transitional months, look for a cinched waist like this utility jacket, to create definition.

While the weather's still warm enough, leave your 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, slouchy bag or statement scarf.

Beat the winter chill with a cosy coat you’ll return to year after year. A longline coat is the ultimate winter icon, elevating casual outfits while still providing that essential warmth.

Colder climates demand an insulating puffer jacket filled with cosy feather and down. And if a puffer jacket isn’t your look, opt for this smart padded jacket with clever Thermowarmth™ technology to keep you warm without bulk.

A hard-wearing waxed jacket is a smart choice for drizzly winter days. This version combines classic olive green with a modern silhouette and an on-trend funnel neck.

If there's one item of clothing that's worth investing in, it's a classic winter coat. When cared for properly, great-quality coats made from premium fabrics such as wool, suede or leather will stand the test of time.

Think about how cold you expect your area to get and choose a coat based on warmth. Cropped jackets and lighter layers are ideal for moderate climates, but you’ll need a heavy parka for harsher winters.

On a tight budget? Our pure cotton car coat is a timeless piece that punches above its price tag. With its contrasting collar, gleaming buttons and clean-lined silhouette, it's the ultimate do-it-all staple.

When styling a winter coat it’s important to think about practicality along with design. If temperatures are expected to drop, add a layer of warmth with a thin thermal without adding bulk.

Keep your head warm with a soft beanie or tuck a scarf with a hood attached under your coat. Peek a triangle scarf out of the neckline for some visual interest – bonus points if it’s made with wool for even more warmth.

And of course you’ll need a pair of gloves to keep those hands warm. A pair of long knitted gloves are an essential but these leather gloves take everything up a notch.

Pro tip: it's a good idea to get your coat dry-cleaned once a year to keep it in pristine condition; aim to do this at the start of autumn so it'll look and feel fresh all season.
