My advice would always be to invest in one classic winter coat each year (or two if you are starting from scratch) and before you know it you will have yourself a little collection going. So where do you start if you are looking for coat to invest in a coat that ticks all the boxes. My advice would be to buy yourself a 3/4 length wool number in black. Coats don’t come anymore classic than this and for that very reason they work hard in your wardrobe. You can wear this style as a day to day coat for work, on the weekend with jeans and boots or trainers and then best bit about this style is you can wear over ANY look for evening and you’ll be warm. If you already have a black coat like this in your wardrobe and find that you are wearing it lots and love the style then why not buy a similar style in a lighter neutral colour, this will open up lots more tonal styling options and work with the lighter tones in your wardrobe. Here are my favourite options from the high street, the only one that isn’t is the one with the brass buttons.
