KAREN MILLEN Belted
wool-blend coat
Establishing
her eponymous high street label in 1981, tailored outerwear for all occasions
has long been the mission of Karen Millen. This long line
coat is cut from a soft wool-blend and fastens with concealed buttons and waist
ties. Draw attention to the oversized notch lapels with an embellished shirt
collar, or alternatively a leather mini dress.
BURBERRY Amberford shell
trench coat
Established
in 1856, Burberry boasts a
mission statement synonymous with Britain. Renowned for its exemplary
outerwear, the brand imbues its heritage detailing into the creation of the Amberford trench coat. Only instead of
using its famed waxed cotton to create its double-breasted silhouette, shell is
favoured, resulting in a layer that’ll deny rainy spells. Belted at the waist
and equipped with pockets, the classic check lines the interior.
BALMAIN Double-breasted
wool and cashmere-blend jacket
Keeping
up the house’s signature military-inspired aesthetic, Olivier Rousteing cuts
this Balmain jacket to a
double-breasted silhouette studded with gold-toned buttons that display the
label’s iconic coin motif. Shaped from pure wool flecked with hints of
super-soft cashmere, the sleek silhouette falls to knee-length – perfect for
layering over mini dresses or wide-leg trousers. Temper the peak lapels by
leaving it half-fastened.

body. Defined by an inverted collar and lapel, this cover-up is fully lined for
the smoothest fit. Layer yours over everything from casualwear to eveningwear

reversible shearling and leather coat
DROME designer
Marianna Rosati is best known for her clever use of luxurious leathers and
touch-me-now shearlings – a skillset perfectly summed up on this fully
reversible, single-breasted coat. Wear yours with the smooth lambskin leather
and tonal stitching exposed to maximise the plush notched lapels, or flip it
inside out for a full-on plush exterior to bring even more opulence into the
mix.
