Every season, there’s a subtle shift that happens in the fashion ether. One detail, one cut, one shape suddenly starts appearing everywhere, insistently enough, until you realise it has quietly become the defining silhouette of the season. This year, that moment belongs to the funnel-neck. The first flickers were the funnel-neck bombers (Massimo Dutti’s red version was the first I remember seeing repeatedly), then drifted into leather and structured jackets—Róhe’s being the standout. Now, as temperatures have properly dropped, the logic has evolved: the funnel-neck has graduated to full winter coat status—and this is where the trend really comes into its own.
There’s something surprisingly modern about removing lapels entirely. It’s clean, it’s sculptural and it immediately reads elevated without the “trying” that can come with statement outerwear. The COS funnel-neck coat, in particular, has tipped this into the mainstream, and if you’ve scrolled Instagram in the last fortnight, I’d wager you’ve spotted at least one.
But COS's is not the only option worth knowing. Zara is now doing beautifully cut, high-collar styles that feel far beyond their price point, and Róhe’s take has that editor-approved minimalism the brand does so well. Ahead, I’ve pulled the chicest funnel-neck coats available now, the ones that prove this quiet detail has become the silhouette to know this season.
Best Funnel-Neck Coats 2025
Structured but relaxed, this oversized wool coat nails that “expensive, but effortless” look. It’s the kind of coat that instantly smartens denim, but looks equally polished with tailored trousers.
This funnel-neck coat is what ignited my love for the trend. COS does tailoring exceptionally well, and this double-breasted coat is a perfect example; clean lines, beautiful drape, and a silhouette that feels timeless. It’s a classic investment piece, without the designer price.
Róhe’s trench takes the familiar silhouette and strips it back to its most elegant form; minimal hardware, a beautifully cut lapel, and a softly structured shape. It feels like the kind of piece that becomes a signature.
The convertible collar gives this coat two personalities in one: sharp and tailored, or soft and wrapped. It’s clever high street design, and it looks far more elevated than its price point.
Crafted from Manteco wool (a luxury Italian mill), this belted coat looks and feels premium. The clean, robe-like cut makes everyday dressing look quietly refined. Also, obsessed with the burgundy.
Whistles coats always have longevity baked in, and this one has that very British, tailored-but-not-overdone feel. The slim fit works especially well layered over chunky knits.
Rich chocolate suede, a fluid drape and a minimalist cut, this coat has that quiet luxury softness people notice, but can’t quite place. It’s understated, but deeply chic.
The high funnel neckline gives this otherwise classic coat a modern, architectural feel. It’s warm, elegant, and beautifully minimal—the kind of piece you’ll look forward to wearing.
This faux-fur coat feels incredibly luxe—plush, sculptural, and with that iconic Mandarin collar Róhe is known for. It’s one of those pieces that instantly turns heads IRL.
The army-green tone paired with the funnel neck makes this feel directional but wearable. It’s oversized enough to layer, but cut clean enough to still look polished.
Frankie Shop has defined the oversized tailored coat—and “Leroy” is the brand’s hero cut. It gives that nonchalant, effortless energy that fashion people obsess over.
Two coats in one—luxe shearling on one side, sleek leather on the reverse. It’s bold, incredibly warm, and designed to be worn for years, not seasons.
The leather trim instantly sharpens this wool coat, giving it that subtle edge Proenza always nails. If you want a classic outerwear shape with a twist, this is a very chic option.
