The cornerstone of one’s winter wardrobe, a coat is an essential purchase if you’re looking to update your look for the new season.
On the AW23 catwalks, designers delivered exceptional outerwear, with everything from tailored cuts and muted tones to bold hues and glamorous animal prints.
These are the runway trends to know about now, and where to shop them on the high street…
The latest iteration of the continuing ‘quiet luxury’ trend, black tailored coats were all over the runways, from Givenchy (oversized) and The Row (double-breasted), to Dolce and Gabbana (nipped in at the waist).
