9 Designer Coats to Buy Now and Love Forever
In our experience, winter coats are one of those wardrobe staples that really pay dividends when you invest a little more money in them. Of course, that doesn't have to mean four-figure sums. Rather, it could mean hand-selecting premium brands that know how to deliver time-tested designs. Some of fashion's most famous outwear icons include the Max Mara camel coat, which dates back to 1981, and the iconic Burberry trench coat that boasts an impressive 100-year history. There are also plenty of new entries making their presence felt in the market right now, including the oversize luxury of Raey's and Saks Potts's statement-making big-collar energy. They're classics in the making, for sure.
If you're looking to invest in outerwear, be it a double-breasted coat or a puffer jacket, we've created a rundown of the nine iconic styles that we personally love. Top tip: If your budget is a little tighter, we would definitely recommend checking out luxury-resale sites for pre-loved iterations that still have all the elevated designs and quality fabrics but with purse-friendly prices. You're very welcome. Scroll down to see and shop our edit.
Burberry Trench
It might be over 100 years old, but the Burberry trench is still going strong. Keep an eye out for vintage iterations online.
ACNE Studios Leather Biker
The biker might be back in the spotlight for winter, but really, it's a perennial favorite, and ACNE has the ultimate offering.
Saks Potts Fluffy-Collar Coat
A more recent entry, Saks Potts has become known for its statement-making leather styles that work for both weekend casual and parties.
The Row Double-Breasted Coat
The Row has long been a go-to for minimalists, but thanks to the rise of "quiet luxury," its coats are now a fashion-world staple.
Prada Puffer
There have been plenty of puffers around in the last two years, but Prada's offering never fails to sell out. It's a cold-weather hero—that's for sure.
Toteme Wrap Coat
Featuring a built-in scarf, Toteme's wool coat is a verifiable contemporary classic.
Blazé Milano Blazer
With a celeb following that includes Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, Blazé Milano has got the art of tailoring down to a tee. Opt for white or navy for a versatile and elegant look.
Max Mara Wool Coat
First appearing in 1981, Max Mara's camel coats have become a byword for timeless luxury. This is one to pass down to the future grandkids.
Raey Oversize Coat
Exclusive to Matches, Raey's fuss-free luxury has become a success story among the fashion crowd. At the top of our wish list? The brand's oversize wool tux coats.
