We've ordered our first Pumpkin Spiced Latte, raided Marks & Spencer's new-in section for the viral cardigan and are already saying 'No, thank you!' to Saturday night plans in loyalty to Strictly. Yep, autumn is truly autumn-ing and after a rainy summer, we're actually a bit chuffed to have an excuse to reach for the cosy layers. The crux of any autumn/winter wardrobe is, of course, the best high-street coats.
Aside from keeping you cosy, warm and protected from the elements, the humble coat gets a lot of attention when considering the overall OOTD, so they need to be stylish. The show-offs!
However, if you consider the price per wear of a coat by nabbing one early and the brilliant high street offering for 2024, they are practically free (girl maths!)
So whether you go practical with a duvet coat, toasty with a teddy or chic with a scarf coat, there is a style to suit everyone's mood and aesthetic, including this year's hottest boho buy: the suede jacket.
From an H&M Teddy-Lined Gilet coat that's an absolute steal, to a Bershka Long Faux Fur Coat that looks so cosy, you'll never want to take it off, we've rounded up our top winter coats of the year to shop from the high street. Just try not to buy them all at once.
