Whether you love the warmth and classic style of a wool coat, want to try a touch of leather, or prefer the chunkier coverage that comes from a puffer, we’ve uncovered five coat trends to try this season.

Classic camel

This stylish camel coat is one Catherine, Princess of Wales wears on high rotation. We love the way it pairs so perfectly with other camel tones to create a chic, understated finish,

Timeless trench

Trench coats can be worn all year round, so are well-worth the investment. The trick to nailing the trend is to go buy one slightly oversized in order to layer over knits for extra warmth in winter. Then when spring comes along, this lighter-weight coat makes a great cover up in milder weather.
