From classic belted trench coats to cosy quilted down jackets, we’ve picked a style for everyone in our round-up of best autumn/winter coats for 2024, including the trenches, shearlings and puffers from our Great British Brands, high street heroes and catwalk favourites. The last few years’ events have thrown the fashion industry’s shortcomings – namely, wastefulness and unsustainable turnaround – into sharp relief, so it’s not surprising that the focus is on timeless fabrics like wool and leather, classic cuts (the belted coat is having a moment) and versatile colours.

How To Look After A Winter Coat

Caring for your winter coat is essential to ensure it lasts through many seasons. Here’s how to make sure yours stays in the best condition possible:

1. Regular Cleaning

Most coats aren’t meant to go in the washing machine like other items of clothing. Instead, small and regular cleans should do the job. A soft-bristled brush will remove surface dirt and lint after each wear, and prevent dirt from embedding into the fabric.

2. Drying Techniques

If you do wash your coat, then make sure you dry it correctly. After washing, avoid heat sources; instead, you’ll want to ai dry your coat. Lay it flat on a towel to dry (especially if it’s made from wool or fleece), as hanging them can distort their shape.

3. Follow Care Instructions

If in doubt, follow the care instructions on the label. Different materials require specific care methods. Some wool coats, for instance, may need dry cleaning, while others can be hand washed in cold water.

4. Empty Those Pockets

Make sure to regularly clear out the pockets of your coat; this will help prevent sagging and loss of shape. Rest days will also allow the fabric of your coat to recover and maintain its elasticity.

5. Proper Storage

When you’re not using your coat, it will need to be stored correctly. At the end of the autumn/winter season, store your coat in a breathable garment bag, away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Make sure to use a sturdy hanger to prevent stretching at the shoulders, and avoid folding where possible to stop unwanted creasing.
