Checkered coats are making a major comeback this autumn, offering a nostalgic yet modern touch to any outfit. Our Blake Check Coat is a favourite, starring in a vibrant blend of earthy hues which perfectly embody the season’s palette, which adds a rustic charm that effortlessly transitions from casual to chic. With a heritage vibe, checkered coats bring out a cosy aesthetic while still looking fresh and contemporary. Ideal for layering, this outerwear piece can be worn over rollnecks, jumpers or dresses, making it versatile for both workdays and weekend outings.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Textures and patterns are top of the 2024 autumn outerwear trends, so why not take them both on with timeless herringbone? Classic and sophisticated, herringbone coats are synonymous with elegance. Our Chantelle Herringbone Coat offers a longlined, tailored look that’s both polished and practical. The detailed texture adds a subtle sophistication, perfect for women seeking a refined yet understated look. Whether you’re heading to the office or enjoying an evening out, a herringbone coat elevates your ensemble whilst also keeping you snug. Pair with wide-leg trousers or a sleek skirt for a complete autumn ready look.

 

 

 

 

 

 

For those looking to make a bold fashion statement this autumn, faux fur jackets are an absolute must. The luxurious texture of faux fur brings a touch of glamour to even the most casual outfits, whilst offering excellent warmth for cooler days. The neutral tone of our Harvey Faux Fur Jacket channels the quiet luxury trend, whilst bolder hues add instant drama to your outfits. This piece pairs beautifully with sleek dresses for evening events, or skinny jeans and boots for daytime chic. As eco-conscious fashion continues to rise, faux fur is also a cruelty-free alternative, making it both on-trend and ethical.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Puffer coats have evolved from purely functional to fashion-forward essentials. As the temperatures drop, these cosy and insulated coats offer unmatched warmth and comfort, but now with a sleek and modern twist. Whether you prefer long, oversized puffer coats like our Auden Double Front Puffer Coat, or shorter and fitted versions, these outerwear styles are incredibly versatile. Perfect for layering, they add volume and dimension to your look. This season, two-tone puffers or ones with unique accents (like quilted designs or belted waisted) are in, offering style without compromising on warmth.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Gilets, or sleeveless jackets, have grown in popularity as the ultimate transitional outerwear piece. Ideal for layering over jumpers, turtlenecks or even lighter coats, the gilet provides warmth without the bulk of a full jacket. This season, gilets come in all sorts of options, from shearling-lined or puffer to denim or faux leather, offering something for every style preference. Our Camry Suedette Gilet brings classic colourways and contemporary trimmed flair to your outerwear collection, whilst its sleeveless silhouette is perfect for unpredictable autumn weather, where mornings may be chilly but afternoons are warmer. Wear with slim-fit jeans and ankle boots for a sleek, minimalist look.

 

 

 

 

 

Autumn outerwear is all about layers and balance. To keep your look chic and not bulky, layer lighter fabrics underneath thicker coats like puffers or faux fur jackets. Pair bold outerwear with neutral-toned outfits, allowing your coat to take the spotlight. For checkered and herringbone coats, try tailored trousers or skirts to maintain a streamlined silhouette. For casual days, a puffer coat or gilet works best with fitted jeans whilst accessorising with chunky scarves, hats or boots to complete your autumn ready ensemble.

 

 

 

 

Autumn 2024’s outerwear trends offer a blend of practicality and style, ensuring you stay warm and chic as the temperatures fall. From timeless checkered and herringbone coats to glamorous faux fur, cosy puffers and versatile gilets, there’s a coat for every occasion this season. As you revamp your wardrobe, keep these trends in mind and embrace the art of layering for a comfortable yet fashionable autumn.
