A coat will always be the most important fashion decision you make during autumn and winter, firstly due to the reliance we have on them and secondly due to their ability to ‘make’ an outfit. Whilst in the summer months you will rely on that one pair of killer sunglasses, your coat is similarly the one item you have to get right to show off your stylistic sensibilities when the temperature begins to dip. Not only will your winter jacket need to be chosen to suit the surrounding climate and see you well into the New Year, it is essential that you choose one that will also complement your full range of get-ups for the upcoming season. It is no wonder that your winter coat is the biggest investment you will make this season.
With that in mind, The Hut’s expert team of stylists have sifted through this season’s new arrivals to bring to your our selection of AW18’s finest men’s and women’s coats and jackets for every occasion this season…
For Outdoors
Heading outdoor in the crisp cold air can feel like a pleasure, but when its damp and rainy, turning right back around can seem a better option. But if you, like us, spend much of autumn out for walks upon leafy terrains in hope of avoiding the unpredictable rainfalls, now is probably the time to save yourself the energy and invest in a solid winter jacket.
Going Smart
While nobody likes to feel the cold, staying warm is a secondary consideration for the fashionistas of this world. Hot on the trail of this season’s fashion trends that are setting guidelines for your winter wardrobe, The Hut recommends investing in a smarter piece of outerwear. Suitable for meals out, family gatherings and other more formal occasions, these pieces are the buy you won’t regret; as they serve you time after time, winter after winter.
Workwear
Whether you’re buying outerwear to walk to walk or simply to protect yourself from the cold on the way to the car, train or bus, a stylish yet practical cost is a must. At The Hut we know what it is like to be wearing a bulky coat and having to lug it around all day, getting hot and flustered as you enter the office after your brisk walk in the morning. A lightweight option is definitely beneficial; protecting you from the rain but adding style to your workwear get-up.
Off Duty
It’s the weekend and you’re in need of outerwear that blends functional warmth and casual fashion to spruce up your seasonal wardrobe. Off duty pieces are mainly considered timeless staples that take minimal effort to style; the best of which give you assured quality every time you wear. The Hut leans to quality assured brands for this pick including Barbour, and .
