When the temperatures truly drop and layers become a necessity rather than a styling choice, the key to looking polished lies in your coat and shoes.
Honestly, you can get away with wearing almost anything underneath—if your jacket and boots are strong, your outfit will look elevated. Stepping out on a drizzly day in Paris, Rosie proved my point. The model shielded herself from the elements in a chin-grazing funnel-neck trench coat, paired with tall leather boots in a rich shade of burgundy, creating one of the chicest cold-weather looks I've seen this season.
Eschewing the sea of black wool coats and samey boots that dominate every cold-weather season, Rosie’s look involved a few small tweaks that made it feel much more elevated. Tapping into two of the biggest yet most wearable trends of the moment—the funnel-neck coat and burgundy boots—the look was impossibly chic, without feeling overly styled or try-hard.
The funnel-neck silhouette has been one of the season's biggest breakthroughs, and whilst many fashion people are embracing it through windbreaker-style bombers or leather jackets, Rosie’s trench feels especially current. Her glossy boots, meanwhile, add a subtle pop of colour without disrupting her minimal palette, all the while nodding to the season's favourite shade. Honestly, she could have been wearing pyjamas underneath, but her coat and boots were so chic, the overall look felt undeniably polished.
Inspired by her two-piece formula for winter elegance, I’ve rounded up the best funnel-neck trench coats and burgundy boots to shop now. Read on to shop my edit.
