Buh-Bye Boring Puffers, This Alexa Chung-Approved Coat Is What Every Fashion Editor Wants

It’s not every day a new cult coat emerges, so when whispers started circulating about a new rising It item, you can bet I wouldn’t be keeping it to myself. Quietly working its way onto fashion editor wish lists, Queens of Archive’s Priscilla Coat (£450) is showing all the signs of becoming the season’s favourite buy.

How do I know? For starters, I’ve already seen links to it ricocheting around multiple Who What Wear Slack channels. I’ve spotted it on a handful of impeccably dressed Londoners. But the real clincher? Alexa Chung’s debut this weekend.

Stepping out in London this week, Chung styled the retro-inspired design with semi-sheer tights and red peep-toe heels. Tapping into the leopard-print revival that’s been simmering for several seasons now, the Priscilla Coat offers a timely update: plush faux-fur trims that frame the silhouette and add a level of drama. The fuzzy cuffs and collar bring a sense of luxe nostalgia—an elevated touch that’s basically catnip for the city’s most stylish dressers.

While Alexa paired hers with a sleek satin dress, this coat is equally adept at transforming your everyday basics—a throw-on-and-go piece that does all the work for you.

With several members of the Who What Wear team already slotting it into their weekly rotations, I have it on very good authority that this is the coat trend destined to dominate winter.
