Coats & Jackets

In Britain, your coat is the outfit for half the year. It is what people see at the school gate, on the platform and across the café, so it deserves more thought than whatever was left on the hook. Our women's coats and women's jackets are chosen to make that first impression a good one, with shapes that look smart over a dress and relaxed over jeans.

Long coats and trench coats with a belt you can tie or leave loose, double-breasted coats with notch lapels, longline styles that reach past the knee, cosy teddy coats, quilted jackets for the in-between weeks, hooded styles for blustery days, and a few biker jackets for a sharper edge: the collection covers the whole of autumn and winter. Colours stay easy to wear, from black, grey, camel and navy to deep red, green and burgundy, so your coat works with what is already in your wardrobe.

Whether you walk to work, spend Saturdays in the park or want one winter coat that makes everything underneath look intentional, start with how you will wear it. A longer coat suits dresses and skirts; a jacket at hip length works with trousers and jeans. If you run warm indoors, a coat that opens easily beats a heavy layer you have to wrestle off on the bus. Pair it with one of our jumpers for the cold snaps, wear a blazer underneath when the office calls for it, and finish with a pair of ankle boots.

Of all the women's coats on this page, one has probably caught your eye already. That first instinct is worth listening to: the coat you keep coming back to is usually the one you will wear every single day, from the first frost to the first daffodils.
