From quilted to cosy woollen styles, these belted coats will be the unsung heroes of your winter wardrobe.
When it comes to winter outerwear, the options are plentiful, but one detail stands out across all the best coats: a belted waist. Whether you prefer sleek puffers, utilitarian designs or cosy teddy-bear textures, this robe-like silhouette always looks stylish.
The autumn/winter 2024 collections provided confirmation of this. At Christian Dior, models glided down the catwalk like fallen snowflakes in winter white-coloured belted coats. Dries Van Noten turned to heritage plaid prints, accented with furry green clutch bags and pastel pink booties. Meanwhile, Jil Sander and Patou opted for minimalist, workwear-inspired styles in soft camel tones, featuring embellished brooches at the neckline.
The versatility of belted coats is what makes them a winter wardrobe hero. They pair just as well with your trusty 501s as they do over a polished party suit. And the best part? There’s a style for every need and budget.
This season, you’ll find everything from waterproof puffer coats for rainy days to snug neutral styles (like Marilyn’s above) that are perfect for early morning commutes. H&M even offers a plush teddy bear design that feels like a dressing gown but looks far more elegant.
Ready to try out the style for yourself? Keep scrolling: we’ve rounded up 11 of the best belted coats to keep you stylishly warm all season long.
