These Are The Coats To Add To Your Wardrobe This Winter

From teddy to trench

If there’s one thing Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Australia taught us, it’s this: invest in three great coats and your winter wardrobe is sorted.

From wearing trenches as dresses to sporting bright pink faux fur with matching shoes, Australia’s style set proved your outerwear can be the defining feature in one very chic – and very warm – outfit.

Furthermore, Pinterest has seen teddy coats trending as the cold rolls in – with a 280% increase in saves compared to last year, and a 1200% increase globally. The aforementioned faux fur coats are also officially a happening thing Down Under, with a 50% increase in saves this year.

Without further ado, your official winter coat guide. 

Tartan

Fashion is having a highland fling – but the overall aesthetic is less Bravehart and more Clueless, especially when styled with ’90s nonchalance.
