Barbour Audrey Showerproof Jacket
After keeping us dry for over a century, Barbour hardly needs an introduction. It’s easy to see why with the Audrey Showerproof Jacket. Combining the label’s heritage with a modern, bomber-inspired cut, it shines on milder days.
Let the all-over check lead and keep the rest pared back. Try a cream sweater and dark wash jeans for a smart take on weekend dressing. En route to the office, layer it over a navy cable knit and tailored trousers for a professional feel.
On colder mornings, add a wool scarf and ribbed beanie. Suede ankle boots work for dry days; opt for leather or waterproof trainers if showers are likely.
Best used for when you need warmth without bulk, it adapts to your plans to become an indispensable part of your winter wardrobe.
Barbour Elaine Showerproof Jacket
If you’re after a winter coat with a classic country feel, try Barbour’s Elaine Showerproof Jacket. Tartan patchwork and corduroy trims nod to the brand’s roots and, like the Audrey, it shrugs off light rain thanks to a water-repellent finish.
For weekends out of town, lean into the rural mood with a Fair Isle jumper to keep things relaxed and rooted in tradition. In the city, switch to slim-fit chinos and an oversized shirt for an unfussy silhouette.
Accessories should stay grounded: leather gloves when temperatures drop, a rich-brown shoulder is a sleek touch, and wellington boots in forest green will tackle muddy conditions.
We like its blend of functional details and quintessential charm. It will prove its worth across the day, from grey mornings to chilly nights with ease, right into early spring.
Lacoste Long Oversized Water-Repellent Parka
Busy days demand a coat that can keep up. The Long Oversized Water-Repellent Parka from Lacoste blends technical expertise with a modern cut to take you from early mornings to late nights.
The clean silhouette and khaki colouring play well with your wardrobe. It pairs well with a cowl-neck jumper and regular-fit jeans for the school run, while teaming it with a leopard-print sweater and leather trousers is a chic statement for coffee with friends. For the commute, opt for a crisp shirt underneath a knitted vest and wide-leg trousers.
Complete the look with leather trainers for a sporty touch, or block-heel ankle boots when you want something smarter.
This is a versatile top layer that adjusts to your calendar without fuss. You’ll be reaching for this on repeat.
Lacoste Water-Repellent Quilted Golf Jacket
Winter is not the time to stow away your clubs; it can be a smart time to improve your handicap. Lacoste’s Water-Repellent Quilted Golf Jacket works hard to keep you warm and dry between holes.
On the fairway, style it atop a long-sleeved polo and argyle sweater vest for a smart-casual feel. Tailored thermal trousers will ward off chills, and spiked golf shoes will tackle cold, wet ground. In the clubhouse, layer it over a thicker rollneck, while a discreet touch of plaid will inject your look with quiet chic.
Off the course, it’s the perfect go-to for last-minute errands or for walking the dog. Team with a cosy half-zip top and thick leggings for a practical but stylish look. Consider it an easy option you’ll reach for right through to early spring.
Armani Exchange Patent Fabric Jacket
If you’re looking for a bold winter layer, Armani Exchange’s Patent Fabric delivers. Part trench, part puffer, it’s designed to stand out, and its high-shine finish makes it ideal for evenings out during the festive season.
For Christmas parties, let it frame a satin slip dress with heeled pumps to create a commanding silhouette. If warmth is the priority, style it over a cropped rollneck and wide-leg trousers. Travelling abroad? It sits smoothly atop a cashmere knit and relaxed jogging bottoms en route. Later, switch in slim denim when dining at the resort.
Dial back accessories to let the fabric lead: a black or chocolate brown shoulder bag nestled in the crook of your arm and leather gloves in neutral tones will offset the gloss.
Wherever your festive season takes you, this piece brings a confident edge to winter dressing.
Armani Exchange Packable Windbreaker
Often overlooked in winter, a windbreaker is a lighter alternative when you don’t want to weigh yourself down . Armani Exchange’s Padded Windbreaker takes a tried and tested formula and adds a water-repellent finish to keep you dry when an unexpected drizzle rolls in.
It’s an ideal option off duty. Teaming it with a base layer and leggings elevates your workout, and because it packs away without fuss, it doesn’t dominate your gym bag after a spin class. If your weekend includes shopping, switch to a jumpsuit and Chelsea boots, finished with a roomy crossbody bag to hold your essentials.
The jacket’s solid, neutral finish lets you experiment with patterns. Try contrasting it against muted stripes and neutral florals for a sharp, put-together outfit that stays understated.
Consider it a go-to staple for winter’s milder moments. A blend of practicality and quiet style that slots easily into your downtime plans.
Tommy Hilfiger Single-Breasted Trench Coat
As winter plans stack up, choosing the right coat is vital. Tommy Hilfiger’s Single-Breasted Trench Coat brings structure to your evening ensemble, without overpowering your look.
For black tie occasions, layer it over a floor-length gown and finish with a patent clutch and stilettos for an understated shine. Dressing for New Year’s Eve? Try a pleated V-neck blouse tucked with high-waisted trousers and anchor the outfit with a statement belt to add definition.
It suits more casual occasions, too. When you’re supporting your children at the school nativity, throw it on over straight-cut jeans and a fine merino rollneck for warmth and ease.
Made for long winter nights, this trench sharpens eveningwear from first toast to last train.
Tommy Hilfiger Tyra Down Coat
When the wind bites and the temperature drops, you need a coat with substance. Tommy Hilfiger’s Tyra Down Coat delivers, with its duck down fill that traps heat for reliable warmth.
Whatever the day throws at you, the coat adapts. When running errands, team it with a hoodie and midweight denim for a relaxed feel. Meeting friends? Switch to a cable-knit jumper over an Oxford shirt. For the office, it sits neatly over a smart blazer and trousers.
Keep accessories pared back to complement the coat’s subtle sheen and faux-fur trim. A knitted hat and gloves in neutral tones keep things sleek without distraction from the silhouette. Finish with leather boots and a structured tote for a polished feel.
Consider it the perfect everyday essential that blends functional details with low-key style. Exactly what you need for busy winter days.
BOSS Conry Double-Breasted Trench Coat
What began as an officer’s coat is now a wardrobe staple: and BOSS’ Conry Double-Breasted Trench Coat shows why.
Its military-inspired lines and neutral colour make styling simple. Belted, wear it over a dark trouser suit with pointed pumps to impress during client meetings. Off duty, leave it open to highlight your favourite hoodie, with leggings and low-top trainers for an athletic finish.
It’s practical too. The storm flap on the back ensures drizzle rolls right off while improving airflow so you don’t overheat as you go about your day. The notched lapels frame the neckline, while buttoned side pockets keep valuables secure and close at hand.
Ideal during mild, wet winter spells, this keeps you ready for whatever the day brings- just the way a winter should do.
BOSS Caylina Coat
Chilly days call for a comforting touch, and BOSS’ Caylina Coat more than delivers. The bouclé texture and shawl collar feel like you’re wrapped in a cosy blanket, and the tie fastening at the waist gives your silhouette shape.
For your 9-5, it pairs with a silk blouse and straight-leg trousers; a sleek leather tote keeps your laptop close and complements the soft finish. Switch to a denim shirt and knee-length boots at the weekend for a casual feel. When temperatures drop, a chunky scarf or a snug snood add extra coverage and warmth.
The mid-length cut feels refined, yet eye-catching, this is a coat meant to be seen. You’ll be reaching for it on frosty morning and late evenings alike.
