Still on the lookout for a new warm winter coat to wrap up in? Then you’re in the right place, we’ve got loads of cosy options to choose from. Think soft and fuzzy teddy coats that feel like wearing a hug, padded parkas for Bonfire Night plans, and layer-friendly gilets to throw over a jumper for a Sunday stroll.
Cosy Teddy Coats
Unfortunately, it’s still not socially acceptable to wear a blanket outside, so you’ll just have to settle for the next best thing: a teddy coat. For day-to-day styling, these oversized options in black or camel look amazing with anything from comfy denim to faux leather trousers or even joggers. I’d double down on the cosy vibe and opt for a roll-neck jumper, fleece-lined leggings and ankle boots.
I love wearing neutral shades at this time of year, so I’m a big fan of this longline layer in wear-anywhere khaki. Plus, this one comes with proper pockets, so it’s great for stashing your stuff – or chilly hands!
If you’re looking for something a little more dressed-up, I’d recommend the Jacqueline coat by De La Creme Fashions. The silver colour and silky-feel lining give it a high-end finish, making it an ideal choice for dinners out or even Christmas parties.
Are Teddy Coats Warm?
We can confirm that teddy coats are indeed warm and cosy! They are typically made from a plush, soft fabric that mimics the texture of a teddy bear, and this fabric is often lined with insulation, like fleece or shearling. All of which means that teddy coats are excellent for keeping you warm during colder weather.
The Classic Parka
A faux fur-trimmed (and generous) hood, snuggly lining and double pockets? Yep, I think the Serena parka might just be the ultimate heavy-duty winter coat. This is a good pick for everyday dressing as it will work with lots of items in your wardrobe – I’d pop it over denim, a colourful knitted jumper and chunky boots.
Gilets For Days
A gilet is handy if you want to keep your core snug but your arms free, and padded versions like this one will help you stay warm on winter walks or festive staycations. It has two well-sized pockets and zips up for extra coverage, while the hood will protect your hair from the elements.
For fancier events or a more polished outfit, check out this expensive-looking faux fur option. I’d team it with a camel-coloured turtleneck, faux leather leggings and gold hoops for day drinks or a family lunch.
All Hail Shackets
While shackets tend to be a little too light for cold weather, this checked option comes in a thick and durable fabric that makes it perfect for winter, too. The oversized fit means you can wear extra layers underneath – I’m envisioning a long-sleeved top paired with a chunky cable-knit jumper to create a bit of contrast with the textures.
I’d wear this for more casual plans, like Christmas shopping (it’s not too early, right?) or cinema trips.
