Looking for something more streamlined than your duvet coat and sleeker than your leather trench? This latest coat trend might just be the winter tonic you need.
In the pantheon of winter coats, few reign truly supreme. While the humble Arsene Wenger duvet coat is absolutely the sartorial equivalent of a hug from your favourite person, it’s not always smart enough for certain events. And while colourful faux fur coats have enjoyed an ascent in the arena of desire of late, when the occasion calls for something more streamlined, their kaleidoscopic cuddliness doesn’t always suffice.
But fear not, for help is sartorially at hand in the form of tailored double-breasted coats, which have been the fashion crowd’s winter warmer of choice this season.
Championed by a clutch of brands, these boxy-shaped coats are the perfect antidote to the slouchiness we’ve all become fans of. Throw on a tailored coat to balance a slouchy two-piece, or wear over the top of a crisp cotton shirt and some tailored jeans. The takeaway is clear: these coats mean business. They are strong, statement-making and incredibly stylish. These are a few of our favourite double-breasted coats, which are as classic as they are contemporary.
Topshop double-breasted long coat
This milk chocolate double-breasted coat is vying for a spot in your winter coat line-up. Forget everything you thought you knew and wear the brown shade with all of your black, navy and grey colourways for a nod to the 90s.
H&M Premium double-breasted coat
Crafted from a heavyweight wool, H&M’s navy double-breasted coat is winter coat perfection. Not only is navy a foolproof colour that will be worn throughout the years, but it also complements absolutely every other colour it is paired with. An agreeable colour, if ever we saw one.

Don’t allow the colour red to fall behind in your estimations. Embrace its effervescence by clashing it with greens, blues and purples. Bright colours have never been more en vogue, so now is the time to experiment.

Mango masculine stretched coat
