The best winter coats on the high street for women
The chilly season has arrived, which means it’s time to cosy up to the coolest winter coats. Luckily for us Brits, this season’s high-street offerings include plenty of key styles – from coloured leather to heritage checks.
Looking for a statement-maker? The glossy vinyl coat is back once again – thanks to the likes of Saint Laurent and Chloé. The winter-white style is also set to be huge, with slick takes on the trend from Ryan Roche and Ermanno Scervino.
Whether it’s for everyday wear or for your occasion wardrobe, here’s our pick of the most stylish cover-ups you don’t want to miss out on.
River Island Brown check tie cuff coat
Another day, another win from River Island. This checked outerwear piece teams dogtooth checks with sophisticated lapels and an oversized fit, making it the ideal coat for work or weekend adventures. It comes in the perfect length for the winter months and pairs well with this season’s fluted-sleeve knits.

Jaeger A-line Wool Coat
If you don’t already own a classic navy coat, then Jaeger is a good place to start. This midnight wool style boasts a relaxed A-line fit and clean lines for just the right dose of fierceness. It’s a pricey investment, but we promise you’ll be wearing this one over almost anything you own from work wear to jeans.

Mango Belt vinyl trench
The catwalk’s continuous love affair with high-shine finishes has resulted in slick coats made from vinyl fabric. Our favourite from the high street is Mango’s belted trench – a surprisingly wearable option with functional details like pig pockets and offering the perfect warmth for ‘swinter’.

Light Before Dark Cream Teddy Puffer Jacket
The teddy coat, as seen at Max Mara and Miu Miu, is here to keep us cosy this season. Urban Outfitters’ chunky hip-length version is created with a high collar to keep you protected on windy days. Its material is warm enough to ward off the chill yet lightweight enough to prevent commute sweats.

Pull and Bear Faux leather oversized jacket with faux fur collar
When it comes to rebooting your look for the colder months, colour is key. Update your plain leather jacket this autumn with Pull and Bear’s striking oversized red option. The contrasting fluffy collar adds to its cosiness.

Zara Quilted Jacket With Hidden Hood
As shown by Ryan Roche and Ermanno Scervino, white is the most stylish colour for coats this AW. We’ve set our hearts on Zara’s quilted style, created with cosy contrasting material on the inside of the hood. The best part? You can wear it over your summer dresses now until it’s time to layer up.

Timeless and sleek, Jaeger’s A-line Wool coat has earned the most points for versatility. To stand out from the flock this season, we recommend investing in Mango’s Belt vinyl trench or Topshop’s Metallic Trench Coat.
