Style Notes: There's nothing worse than having to head out into the cold on the days we'd rather be in bed. The solution? Take your duvet with you, of course. Longline puffer coats are the secret to banishing the winter blues, and this ultra-cosy, ultra-comfortable coat stays warm whilst looking cool, so you needn't worry about what the weather might throw at you.

Style Notes: Whoever came up with the scarf-coat hybrid first, we applaud you. Not only does this polished coat manage to make every outfit look infinitely more expensive, but it cuts out the need to stuff a scarf into your bag "just in case". Simply wrap and go.

Style Notes: It was only a matter of time before the maxi dresses and skirts we were obsessed with in the autumn would influence our outerwear choices too. The long, sweeping maxi coat pairs perfectly with ankle-grazing dresses and knee-high boots, but happens to look just as good with jeans and flats too. However you style it, nothing quite beats the dramatic silhouette that this tailored coat creates, and it's the key to making even the simplest outfit feel like a statement.

Style Notes: Dopamine dressing is undoubtedly the antidote to grey winter weather, and pops of brightly coloured shearling are guaranteed to add a dose of vibrancy to your day (as well as everyone else's). Sure, a black wool coat is timeless, but it's impossible to have a bad day in Crayola shades of hot red, cobalt blue and apple green, along with plenty of cosy fluff. Consider this mood-boosting coat that is just as important this season as your umbrella.

Style Notes: As editors, we're often asked for tips on how to look rich without having to actually shell out, and often the answer lies in something as simple as introducing the right colour into your wardrobe. Brown is officially the new black and it's just as professional and well-put-together as its darker counterpart, but the rich, warm undertones make it universally flattering for all skin tones. We love you, camel, but this season we're heading to the dark(er) side.

Style Notes: We supersized our tailoring and our tote bags and now it's the turn of our bomber jackets. This autumn/winter, the preference is for baggy, voluminous leather bomber jackets that look like they were borrowed from the menswear section. No complaints here—this roomy jacket style is perfect for layering over chunky knits and oversized shirts (in other words, everything we'll be wearing for the foreseeable), and judging by the number of influencers and editors who have taken to the trend, it'll be sticking around for a while too.
