Your coat is the piece people see most from November to March, so it is worth getting right. Here is what each style does best and who it suits.
The overcoat: smart and timeless
Best for: office commutes, evenings and wearing over knitwear or tailoring.
The Hampstead Overcoat is a clean, long-line coat that goes over everything from a hoodie to a roll neck. Camel, black and grey are the most versatile colours.
The double-breasted coat: the statement
Best for: looking sharp with minimal effort.
The Greenwich Double-Breasted Coat has a sharper, more structured look. Wear it buttoned over a mock neck for a clean, modern silhouette.
The hooded puffer: maximum warmth
Best for: the coldest, wettest days, dog walks and weekends.
The Highgate Hooded Puffer is padded for warmth and has a hood for surprise showers. Pair it with cargos or joggers.
The down jacket: warm without the length
Best for: people who prefer a shorter jacket to a long coat.
The Arlington Down Jacket layers well over a quarter-zip or hoodie.
The padded bomber: casual and easy
Best for: everyday casual wear on milder winter days.
The Fulham Padded Bomber works with jeans, a sweatshirt and trainers. For a sporty twist, try the Islington Varsity Jacket.
Quick decision guide
- Mostly smart: overcoat or double-breasted coat.
- Mostly casual: bomber or down jacket.
- Coldest possible: hooded puffer.
- Only one coat: the overcoat in camel or black works in the most situations.
How should a winter coat fit?
You should be able to wear a knit underneath and still move your arms freely. Sleeves should reach the base of your thumb. If you are between sizes on outerwear, size up.
