Planning a winter holiday? Maybe you’re dreaming of London’s twinkling trinkets at Christmas markets, or envisioning cosy evenings in a Swiss chalet, or even bracing for the nip in India’s hill stations this winter season. Wherever it is that you are planning to go, one thing’s certain—you’ll need a trusty coat to keep you warm.
The kind that doesn’t just fend off the chill but makes a fashion statement wherever you’re headed. Too often, the drop in temperature sees wardrobes packed with bulk over style, but who says warmth has to come at the cost of looking sharp? Before you pack your bags, let’s find the perfect coat to keep you snug and stylish this winter season.

This iconic Burberry is perfect to break up the monotony of those all-black winter outfits.
Black coats are timeless, but they can feel a bit overdone. This winter, consider switching to shades of beige or brown for a look that’s sharp yet understated.
If your longtime black coat has seen better days after enduring countless winters, it might be time for an upgrade. Options abound, like this sleek double-breasted trench from Saint Laurent.
Tricky to keep spotless but impossible to overlook, a white coat is high maintenance yet undeniably effective in the style department. When in snow, dress like the snow—this wool-blend coat from Massimo Dutti offers a welcome change from the usual black, brown, or beige.

Red manages to be both classic and bold, effortlessly straddling two opposing styles. Perfect for those who’ve nailed the classics and are now looking to inject some colour into their winter wardrobes.
Finally, there’s Gucci’s houndstooth in a saturated sunset orange coat. This one’s bound to be a favourite for those who aren’t afraid to make a statement.
