If it’s not abundantly clear from our daily article roundup, we are big champions of the Great British high street here at Who What Wear. However, I have to admit that scrolling through the new-in section of the average e-commerce site can feel like being caught in a hailstorm of roll-necks, boots and puffer coats. (Items change according to the season.) With temperatures starting to plummet, we’ve definitely spent far too many hours lost down an online shopping hole in order to find the best affordable coats to carry us through the next three months.
If you too are a bit lost, allow me to be of assistance. Having a bird’s-eye view over the changing trends of the last 12 months has offered me a handy insight into what pieces are actually worth your time and money, and when it comes to coats, I would say there are three styles that pass the test. Yes, just three. The tailored coat, the puffer and the shearling are three coat styles that I own and can personally attest to for warmth, style and versatility. Not only this, but they also happen to be styles that the high street is acing this season.
My other reason for choosing these three coat categories is that they come in a variety of iterations, which will hopefully allow for a wider range of interpretations. Essentially, you can pick and choose according to your taste and wardrobe needs. From oversized, tailored and colour-pop puffers to classic cream shearling and cocooning ankle-grazing fits, scroll down for the high-street coats you need to see this November.
