Best winter coats for women - REDIRECTED TO NEW ARTICLE

Bracingly cold mornings and twilight by teatime - you need only glance out of the window to confirm that winter is fully upon us.

This means packing away your summer clothes for another six months (sob!) and instead, fully embracing winter style. But if you’ve dusted down your old winter coat only to find it’s looking decidedly worse for wear, perhaps it’s time to invest in something new.

One of the most crucial elements in your winter wardrobe, your coat should protect you against whatever the weather chucks down while ensuring you look stylish while doing so.

Thankfully fashion has come through this season with a crop of must-have silhouettes and styles. We’ve rounded up some of the best to buy right now; we’re talking everything from mock croc macs to hooded jackets padded with down to keep you toastier than ever.

Combust Reflect Jacket by Berghaus

Public announcement: this is one of the best winter coats in years. Like the Goldilocks of winter dressing, the Combust Reflect Jacket from Berghaus is the perfect balance of super lightweight warmth.

Packed from top to bottom with Hydrodown, a featherweight lining is built into the jacket and combined with breathable Reflect technology which forces your own body heat back into you—insulating without suffocating.

The expertly placed pockets are loaded with the same Hydrodown cushioning and feature a horizontal enclosure so your bits and bobs are more secured. No accidental wallet/travel card/favourite lip stick loss here.

Available in sizes 8-20 and in three colourways.

Northface Himalayan Puffer Jacket

Already a bestseller in 2019 the Himalayan puffer jacket from Northface is one of the best winter warmers AND best looking winter coats for the 2019/2020 season. The two chest pockets are practical and actually fashionable—set against the colour blocked blue and black (also available as all black and black and yellow), they are big enough to hold your phone, card, headphones and keys, with room to spare.

Pull tabs at the waist and wrists give you that extra bit of insulation when things get particularly nasty outside— in other words: winter winds begone.
