Finally October has arrived and I’m feeling a distinct chill in the air. As an A/W person, I always love to wrap up in cosy, warm outerwear over all my layers. If you’re like me, you probably own a ‘throw-and-go’ wool camel trench which is ideal worn over a top, jeans and boots. Now is the perfect time to invest in a wardrobe staple such as a padded jacket or trench coat to get you set up for the cold, winter days ahead. From there, you can add winter accessories to make a bold statement!
If you’re undecided about what type of outerwear best suits you, here are some suggestions from the latest high street trends:
1. Oversized Alpaca Blend Coat
Smart, relaxed and ultra chic, this Oversized Alpaca Blend Coat – Black – Woolcoats – & Other Stories IE has a belted waist and also comes in beige. A versatile wardrobe staple, it’s ideal for your trips to the office or down town for a Saturday lunch!
2. Puffer Coat
Cold, wet and windy outside? No problem. Pop this stylish water-repellent puffer jacket by Zara on and you’re good to go! With a hood, long sleeves and adjustable elastic drawstrings and stoppers, this is sure to keep you snug and dry in erratic Irish weather!
3. Belted Wrap Coat
I do love a classic belted camel coat and this structured one by River Island is super stylish with a very flattering fit. Ideal worn with any outfit but I always love pairing it with denim jeans, and knee high leather boots.
4. Teddy Padded Collar Detail Coat
The epitome of cosy, urban chic, this gorgeous padded coat by Oasis will keep you warm when temperatures drop. Designed with an oversized collar and complete with a matching belt, this statement piece is accented with contrasting teddy detailing on the collar and sleeves. Feel retro 70s vibes when you wear it!
5. Leather trench
Last but not least, a leather trench is a must when when it comes to investing in outerwear this winter. This ultra cool, croc effect double breasted faux leather trench coat by Ultamodan comes in both black and brown. Reduced from €159.99 to a bargain at €93.95! Great worn with black leggings and chunky Chelsea boots.
Wrap up in cosy chic this winter… and don’t forget the layers underneath!
