Everything But The Trench: 24 Head-Turning Coats For Autumn

Trench coat hoarders, take note. We're ditching the in-between-seasons silhouette in favour of Michelin Man-style puffers, faux leather gems and preppy pea coats. Sure, a classic trench is cool, but what we're gagging for right now is a statement piece that's both traffic-stopping and cosy.

Consider injecting your wardrobe with a little runway ethos, which this season is all about embracing bold and eye-catching winter coats. Go hard or go home, essentially. Quilted detailing (thanks, Bottega Veneta) sent ripples through the AW19 circuit, with A.W.A.K.E's glossy padded coat a particular standout. Acne Studios delivered with its trademark aviator jackets, while Balenciaga's floor-skimming aubergine puffer occupied our mind for days.
