As the first of the Autumn leaves begin to fall, it's time to prepare for cooler days ahead. A gorgeous Winter coat is one of the best seasonal investments in your wardrobe - and can of course be recycled for years to come. Throw a fabulous maxi coat over just about anything to instantly look and feel a million dollars. I suggest spending most of your budget on a classic style that will work hard in your wardrobe for years, while staying pocket-friendly for statement styles or seasonal trends. Choose colours that complement your Winter pallor and add bold accessories to switch up your look with a contrasting scarf, hat or bag.
Look out for oversized maxi coats; cinched in belted coats; trenches in not-so-classic cord, patent and velvet; voluminous capes layered over knits and ever popular animal print. I'm a sucker for bright colour, pattern and sumptuous textures when it comes to Winter coats, anything to make chilly mornings feel a little brighter and more cheery!
