My Fellow Shopping Editor and I Both Agree—This Is the Chicest High-Street Coat Right Now

In the blink of an eye, winter has arrived, bringing with it a crisp chill that is making our capsule wardrobes work overtime. The occasional layering of autumn has now turned up a notch, with staying warm a key factor in our everyday dressing. My knitwear collection is prepared and ready for this shift in gears, and now I’m looking for an insulating coat to take on the heavy lifting. Bundling up for the drop in temperatures doesn’t have to come at the expense of our personal style, so I set about searching for a coat that matched my elegant aesthetic with a cosy composition to see me through the coldest months. Finally, I found the perfect style, and in sharing it with my colleagues, I found that this exact COS coat also features on their winter wish lists.

Classic, elegant and timeless, this coat has all the hallmarks of a COS creation. The look of the coat could easily pass for designer, with a considered soft composition and a slight elongation to the hemline that brings a contemporary edge to the silhouette. Creating expensive-looking pieces on the high street is what COS does best, from its knitwear designs to its highly acclaimed tailoring.
