A coat to keep you warm and dry on cold, wet and windy days is a winter essential – even more so this year, when much of our socialising will be done outdoors.

But with more and more of us turning to online shopping, trying to find the right one for you among the vast array of options available can be slightly overwhelming.

From padded puffer jackets and classic parkas, to smart tailored coats, there is something to suit everyone’s style preferences.

While some may be looking for an everyday outerwear item to wear when running errands, or going for leisurely strolls in the autumn leaves, others are looking for a smart number for evenings out.

Brands including John Lewis & Partners, Marks and Spencer, Mango and Uniqlo have a huge variety, and we have found a selection of styles you won’t want to miss this season.
