We’re only halfway into the current season here in the UK, but I just can’t stop thinking about winter. More specifically, the pieces that I’ll be buying for this time of year. And when it comes to my outerwear, I’ve always been extremely picky. The quality and detail of a coat have the ability to make or break my entire look, not to mention it will act as the focal point of all my outfits throughout the chillier months. Now, that doesn’t in any way mean that I solely buy into designer outerwear; in fact, I’m a firm believer in the power of an expensive-looking high-street coat. But it does mean that I pay particular attention to the silhouettes, materials, and colours of my winter jackets to ensure that I look refined and put-together all season.
Bored with only having my black and camel coats to rely on each year, for winter 2025, I thought there would be no better inspiration than to see what outerwear styles my fellow editors were wearing. And after spotting one particular colour on them over and over again, I’m convinced that investing in a brown coat is a fail-proof way to look elegant and polished this winter season.

Just as versatile as black, but with a hint of warmth, the styling possibilities for brown coats are endless. As someone who tends to stick to the more pared-back side of dressing, I’ll be styling mine exactly as I would my black coats with cream cashmere knits, dark-wash denim, and suede loafers. However, if you’re a dopamine dresser, this shade will look just as good with bolder hues and playful prints as well.

And don't just take it from us, I've also spotted this sophisticated outerwear colour on a number of my favourite fashion influencers as well. But the best part? I’ve already seen a number of brown coat styles on both the high street and luxury market, meaning there are plenty of options to choose from. Keep scrolling to shop the best brown coats for every budget this winter.
