We've scoured the internet for the best winter coats to buy now, from designer investments to high-street heroes.
There’s a lot of stuff out there, and not all fashion pieces are created equal. Luckily, the ELLE editors know their way around a shopping rail, and when it comes to helping you find those perfect wardrobe building blocks, they’re up to the task. From the new and niche brands worth knowing to high-street hits of quality, and a few vintage treasures too, our ELLE Edits showcase the very best of the season.
It's back, baby! And by it, we mean short days, endless drizzle and very chilly weather. Yes, winter 2024 has officially arrived, and we're not entirely mad about it. Because alongside the season's signature dreariness comes also the fun-filled festive calendar, chock full of Christmas markets, Friday night drinks, office parties and wholesome pub visits – all of which require a stylish and cosy coat (or three).
Sneak Peek Of The Best Winter Coats
There's nothing worse that finishing off the perfect ensemble with a lacklustre piece of outerwear, which is exactly why you should invest in the perfect winter coat that acts as an outfit finisher, not ruiner. That's where we come in, with our curated list of the 20 best coats on the market right now, from impossibly opulent designer gems to high-street heroes that are guaranteed to see you through a good few winters in style.

Alongside the usual camel, leather and shearling staples, this year we're particularly enamoured by long wool overcoats, as seen at Cos, &Other Stories and Arket. Paired with knee high boots and midi denim skirts you'll be winter ready in no time at all. Or, if you want to make a bolder statement, why not splash out on Toteme's ponyskin leopard print coat, that comes with a Hailey Bieber stamp of approval? It's a hefty investment, sure, but the style points and cost-per-wear are more than enough to justify it...
20 Best Winter Coats To Shop Now:
Trust us when we say that this is fast becoming the coat of the season. Get it before it sells out – again.
Max Mara's oh-so-snuggly, camel-coloured Teddy Bear coat is a classic for a reason. It's certainly an investment, but trust us when we say that you'll wear this forever.
Sharp-shouldered, double-breasted, ankle-grazing longline coats are the silhouette of the season, and this is one of the best on the market right now. It also comes in black, camel, ivory and aubergine if dark brown isn't your jam.
The perfect Christmas party coat, but still cool with a pair of jeans and leather boots, this faux-fur number from Sienna Miller's ultra-popular M&S capsule is a steal at less than £80.
We reported earlier this season that leopard-print coats were about to be everywhere, and Hailey Bieber only went and proved us right by stepping out a in this pony hair take on the trend by Toteme. Obsessed doesn't even begin to cover it.
Made to be layered under, Stories' oversized wool blend coat in this oh-so-now grey colour will envelop you in warmth.
Shearling coats aren't the most affordable option, but they are a sure-fire way to serious warmth and glamour. This cow-print-style design from COS is hands-down the best on the high street right now.
When the temperatures go Baltic, only a puffer will do, and this Loewe style is our top choice.
Joseph is a top choice for the minimalist lovers out there, and the Lepage camel coat is a great addition to your outwear edit.
With its statement shoulder pads, soft suede exterior, fluffy collar and belt fastening, this jacket from London-based brand L.Cuppini is fast becoming a fashion insider favourite.
Last year's 'pop of red' has been replaced by 'bursts of burgundy' for AW24, and this Arket coat is the perfect way to nail the trend. It's giving Saint Laurent, but for a lot less.
Seventies-style Penny Lane coats are still a strong style move this season, and we love this vinyl take with contrast fur trim by Kitri.
You can't really go wrong with anything by The Row, particularly a wardrobe stalwart like this navy overcoat. Buy now, wear forever – and do so while it's half price in the sale, too.
Call it the Paddington effect, but duffle coats are back for AW24 and this Zara design is a fun fashion take on the winter staple.
For an affordable, AW24 take on that viral scarf-coat, look no further than Mango's delicious, chocolate-brown wool design.
Charlotte Simone's faux-fur coats have something of a cult following among fashion insiders and celebrities – and the fact they're only released during super-limited, week-long drops only serves to heighten their desirability further. Her next collection comes out on November 27, but in the meantime, there are still a few gems from Drop 1 knocking about thanks to online stockists. This zebra-print coat is a forever classic.
Stockholm-based brand Filippa K certainly knows a thing or two about designing outerwear. This robe-like wrap coat is a forever classic, made from double-faced brushed cashmere and wool to keep you toasty.
How to follow two sell-out outerwear collaborations? By launching a third, of course! Our favourite from the latest Ganni x Barbour collection is this twist on the classic trench, that's as practical as it is fashionable.
If you're looking for a sporty, full-length puffer that feels like being wrapped up in a literal duvet, look no further than Sweaty Betty's Nimbus coat. It's perfect for casual weekends, country walks and those days so chilly that you can barely drag yourself out of bed.
Level up your outerwear game with this stunning shearling coat from Loro Piana, featuring tonal leather trims, a chic waist belt and the softest, most decadent exterior imaginable.
