If You Buy One Coat This Year, Make It This One

Choosing a coat is hard. From late August, when the sun is still shining, new-season styles start hitting stores, and suddenly, even if you thought you knew what your wardrobe was missing, you can be all too easily overwhelmed with choice. From relaxed wool styles and traditional trench coats to smart tailored versions and more maximalist bright faux-fur numbers, there's a lot to decide between.

If, however, you’re after something unique, something that says you know fashion, something so timeless it will truly last forever (and probably become one of those pieces your children think you’re really cool for owning), may I point you in the direction of Mango’s beautiful new leather coat. Yes, it’s high-street(!), so although this real leather piece is still an investment, it’s not beyond the realms of reality, like a similar style from The Row might be. It comes in an ever-flattering mid-length and is made from buttery-soft black LWG-approved leather—that's Leather Working Group to you and I, a not-for-profit organisation seeking to improve the leather industry by promoting environmental care. With a trench-style shape and ties at the waist, put simply, it’s one of those special high-street pieces that only comes along once in a blue moon.

Like any really good coat, it’s the kind of style you can throw over the simplest outfit—jeans, trainers and a plain white T-shirt, perhaps—and suddenly your outfit looks polished, cool, and well thought out. Mango’s early autumn offering this year is incredibly impressive and has had all of theBest Knockoff Luxury Clothing UK editors drawing up wish lists as long as our arms. But this coat, along with the brand’s other leather pieces, has to be the highlight of the whole season. 

It’s bound to sell out and be one of those items you regret not buying for many years to come. (I know I certainly will if I wait any longer for it.) But if your budget won’t quite stretch, or you prefer a vegan option, don’t worry—Mango has been kind to us and released a pretty darn good faux version too. It might not have quite the same staying power, but it undoubtedly looks the part all the same. 

It would be cruel to keep you apart any longer, so you can now scroll down to shop the coat and more Mango leather and faux-leather pieces.
