THE KEY COATS TO INVEST IN

WORDS: FLORENCE TROTT Photographer: jane doe

Coat season is back. Cue our no-nonsense edit of big-energy, big-name luxury outerwear. Running the gamut from logo puffer jackets to windbreakers to longline overcoats, we’ve got a coat for every man and every occasion this season. These are the fashion heavyweights to have on your radar now. The temperature has dropped, so we’ve cranked up the heat on our coat game. Put it this way – if designer jackets had a thermostat, yours would be boiling. A coat is a big investment, so it pays to consider your options. From Moncler to Burberry and Bottega Veneta to Stone Island, here are the most-wanted styles of the season.

THE STATUS PUFFER

Moncler put puffers on the fashion map. The down jacket OGs, their pieces are the perfect combo of style and technical excellence. Already a member of the Moncler clan? About to be initiated? The iconic Gourette padded shell down jacket should be in your outerwear roster now. Whether you scale mountains in your free time, or walking to the local is as adventurous as you get, this coat is designed to look great on all terrain. From the shell outer to the Moncler logo patch on the upper sleeve, it’s a status coat that your mates will envy. Team with a classic black polo, jeans and massive shades to give your off duty wardrobe a heavy dose of designer clout. This is winter style for people who haven’t got time to muck about.

THE LONGLINE COAT

No joke. This is sophisticated outerwear for grown-ups. Yes, we’re talking to you. You know you’re nailing adulthood when you invest in a longline overcoat. Whether knee-grazing or ankle-sweeping, they’ll give even the biggest joker gravitas. Belted, double breasted, or lapel-less, it’s an enduring style that means business. Maison Margiela’s cult overcoat will make you appear 100x more worldly than you actually are. Their atelier knows a thing or two about cutting the perfect fit, let us tell you. Wear with tailored trousers, loafers and knitwear. Now, back to work.

THE LIGHTWEIGHT JACKET

We’re Brits. So, yes, we talk about the weather. A lot. From the watercooler at work to the new bar in town, it’s a hot topic. It can be hard to keep up, given how much it changes, and even harder to dress for. Cue the lightweight jacket. When it’s chilly, but not freezing. When it’s winter, but the sun is out. Also ideal for travelling. Layer over knitwear and sweats – adjust appropriately to reach the perfect temp. Basically, don’t break a sweat. Bottega Veneta’s low-key luxe Tech Cotton Blouson jacket is our ideal piece. Made from a clever bi-colour technical material, it’s designed to be easily packable. A jacket made for your jet-set lifestyle. No creasing. Pair with a grey knit cardigan, black technical trousers and the label’s signature intrecciato bowling bag. This is a lightweight jacket that packs a heavyweight fashion punch.

THE LEATHER JACKET

What do Dwayne Johnson, Harrison Ford and Keanu Reeves all have in common? Sure, they’re Hollywood royalty. More significantly for us, they’ve all killed it in a leather jacket. AKA the number one outerwear choice for rebellious rock icons and A-listers alike. If you’re up to no good, a leather jacket is the apparel of choice. Now, your favourite designers are reimagining the fashion classic for today’s man. Less Grease Lightning, more fashion icon. Introducing the new breed of leather jacket. Gucci’s shearling-lined aviator has no parallel. Our go-to for weekends in the city and the perfect party piece. This is cold-weather dressing with a heavy dose of luxury, designed to keep you warm while keeping it cool.

THE TECHNICAL WINDBREAKER

Wow, what’s that? We hear you ask. We’ll tell you. It’s Burberry’s iridescent lightweight windbreaker. Fashion magic, this. The boffins at Burberry have created a soft changeant nylon blend, garment dyed to give off a one-of-a-kind sheen. Sure to turn heads in the pub, the luxe sportswear piece has got the iconic British label’s embroidered ‘Equestrian Knight’ on the back. From athletic staple to ‘90s clubbing icon, Burberry is capitalising on the windbreaker’s cultural cache. And who can blame them? We love a bit of souped-up sportswear as much as any bloke, and this really takes it to the next level. Team with the house’s printed trousers, signature check trainers and EKD canvas tote. A look we can imagine Noel Gallagher wearing to frontman at Wembley.
