I've Tried on So Many Coats This Winter, But I Keep Coming Back to One Elegant Style
I've tried on so many coats this winter, but I keep coming back to scarf coats. From COS to H&M, find my edit of the best high-street scarf coats for 2025 here.
As soon as winter arrived I had one item at the top of my to-do list: find a great coat.
It’s one of those hero pieces that may only come out for a few months, but for the time we wear it, it's the most important item in our wardrobes. After all, we don't want to waste all that time and effort spent putting together highly chic winter outfits by covering it all with a drab outer layer. So, said coat should be seriously stylish, but I demand more. I want it to be chic, warm and of course, practical too. Enter the scarf coat.

Over the past few months, I've tried on almost 50 coats (seriously), sharing my insights on the finer details with you, but one style I keep coming back to is the scarf coat. Brought into the spotlight by Toteme, the scarf coat has been rising in popularity over the past few winters, and this year, it has finally reached its peak. Undeniably elegant in silhouette, practical (a built-in scarf!) and ready to add a warm extra layer whether you're popping for coffee or heading out for the evening, a scarf coat is sure to prove its worth in wearability for many winters to come.

We've seen designer labels tap into the elegant coat style, but this year, high-street brands have rolled up their sleeves to put an affordable spin on the style. Already this season I've been impressed by COS' Double-Faced Wool Scarf Jacket (£189)with an oversized fit ready to be layered over knits and a shorter silhouette that can go from day to night in a flash. I've also fallen for Mint Velvet's more classic long iteration in a chic burgundy hue.
After discovering these two, I knew there must be more, so I've rounded up the very best high-street scarf coats below, just for you. There's a myriad of shades, a mix of lengths from cropped to maxi and plenty more design details you'll want to see.
