There’s no better way to prepare for the season ahead than to make sure your wardrobe is in tip-top shape. And when it comes to our winter wardrobes, coats might just be one of the most important elements.
Made to ensure we stay warm throughout the colder months, coats are an absolute wardrobe necessity. Of course, your reliance on a winter coat might differ depending on what part of Australia you live in. While you might need a heavy-duty puffer coat living in Tasmania, you could probably get by with a lighter trench in more northern parts of the country. Though don’t worry, here at POPSUGAR Australia, we have you covered no matter what climate you’re exposed to.
Below, you’ll find several coat options to keep you looking stylish for the months ahead. From timeless tailored classics to modern takes on outwear and even one celebrity-endorsed favourite (hello, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley!). Our curated list contains coats you can pair alongside your casual outfits for weekend brunch, as well as elevated options for those days when you need to look a little more put together.
In short, we have a coat for every occasion. You’re welcome! Keep scrolling for the best winter coats to see you through the season in style.
