Autumn is well and truly here, meaning it’s almost time to dust off the heavy-duty boots and winter coat.
The new season is a great excuse for weather-appropriate shopping, and a long coat is our must-have item for AW24.
The beauty of this classic coat style is that it always looks elegant, no matter what you’re wearing underneath. It elevates jeans and a tee or complements evening attire effortlessly.
A failsafe outfit for when you want to feel put together will always be a roll-neck jumper, midi skirt, and a long-line coat worn over the top.
Maxi coats are also super cosy for when the colder weather hits, making them a great investment piece for autumn through to the chilly winter season. Plus, we’ve included some more lightweight options in our round-up if you’re not quite ready to wave goodbye to the idea of an Indian summer just yet.
A camel coat is an autumn staple season after season and this M&S version is an affordable way to wear the trend. The longline hem provides for extra warmth on colder days.
A more lightweight option is this Twill Trench Coat from H&M, available in three colours. It's crafted from comfortable cotton for a fluid fit, with a waistbelt to add definition. At £49.99, it's also a real bargain!
This deep green shade is a stunning choice for the autumn/winter season and comes with rave reviews from shoppers.

We love the unique shade of this longline coat from ASOS, descibed as 'mushroom' on the brand's website. The statement collar stands out against the coat's simple silhouette, making it an excellent piece for formalwear as well as for casual outfits.
The 'dad coat' is an great option for laid-back style with an oversized shape similar to a 'boyfriend' jacket.
Our favourite evening coat has to be this long-line black coat from Mango with a simple and elegant shape. We love the stylish details, like the lapel-collar and buttoned cuffs.
Simple and classic, this camel coat from John Lewis ticks all the boxes. Available in three autumn-ready shades; navy, camel and chocolate.

With the weather slowly turning… even though we’re sad to say goodbye to our summer wardrobe, we’re pretty chuffed to get on a new coat.
