The coat-lovers’ favourite season is well under-way. During the winter months, a coat or jacket is
possibly an even more essential piece to get right than the outfit hidden underneath. For the
majority of Winter, your coats and jackets are your entire outfit. Finding classic pieces that are
absolute wardrobe heroes to pull out year after year is the smartest way to keep both warm and
stylish. After all, the best investments are always the ones hanging in your closet.

1. The Classic Blazer
Classic tailoring could never go out of style. Blazers are the best friend of the modern
fashionable woman, adding a powerful masculine twist to any look that gives off a fierce and
confident air. An expertly tailored blazer is a rare and magical find. Tailoring a jacket for women
is a complex process that requires expert hands to wield the needles and threads. Designers like
Stella McCartney are pioneers in this specific area and create versatile pieces of tailoring to last a
lifetime. The blazer is a jacket that completely transcends seasons and trends and remains a
steadfast staple for years to come.

2. Gilets and Vests
Gilets and vests are redefining the outerwear area of fashion from the inside out. This is
definitely more of a trend piece experiencing a returning moment of glory, but a trend that has
nonetheless kept its popularity over the previous few seasons, with no immediate plans to
disappear in the next. Gilets and vests are perfect to style with denim jeans, a chunky knit and
boots on those slightly milder days, elevating dog walking chic to the next level.

3. Long Wool Coat
The long coat is an essential piece of outerwear that the Winter months will never be without.
There are so many variations, shapes and styles that fall into the category of long tailored coats
that means playing with military, cocoon, pea, wrap coats and so many more have infinite
possibilities. Rarely changing in either shape or style, the long wool coat is one of the most
essential pieces in your wardrobe to choose correctly. A coat that is tailored to you is a great
place to start. But by tailoring, we don’t mean only the shape and fit of a piece. Ensuring it is
tailored to your individual style is just as important. In this instance, we would advise to take
trends with a pinch of salt and opt for a classic silhouette that compliments the rest of your
wardrobe.

4. The Ultimate Puffer
The puffer jacket is the missing part of uniform for the casual dresser. A good quality water-
resistant puffer jacket can make a relaxed outfit feel completely elevated. For more casual
occasions and days when the British weather is working against us, the puffer jacket is
undeniably the best go-to, come rain or shine. Styled with jeans and your favourite trainers, this
winter staple is truly an essential.

5. The Aviator
The aviator jacket has been a favourite piece in the wardrobes of all coat-lovers for many years.
You will be glad to hear that this season is no different. Shearling aviator jackets are everywhere,
from the shop rails of the high street to supermodels styling them in their completely covetable
off-duty looks. The wintery outerwear staple is the perfect piece for when an occasion calls for a
heavier duty jacket to replace the classic blazer. Styled with boyfriend jeans or a skirt with boots
and tights, the aviator jacket is a firm fashion favourite this season.
