Now is the perfect time to snap up your next autumn/winter coat on sale, with prices slashed as low as they’re likely to get from brands like Barbour, Mango, Nobody’s Child and more
With the ongoing heatwave and the fact it’s, you know, July, getting a new winter coat probably isn’t at the top of your to buy list right now. But whilst your shopping basket might be full of flip flops and linen dresses, right now is exactly when you should be hunting for a cosy coat to see you through autumn and winter.
Apart from the fact there’s only a month or two left before the weather gets colder again, mid-summer is when most winter coats are slashed to the lowest price that they’re likely to be for the rest of the year. Whether you’re looking for a cosy puffer, a statement fur coat or a stylish wool one that Claudia Winkleman would be proud of, we’ve found some of the best coats and jackets to shop while they’re still on sale.
M&S’ best-selling £28 linen trousers are ‘comfortable and cool in hot temperatures’
GMB’s Susanna Reid is ‘beautiful in blue’ in midi dress with unusual flattering detail
Barn jackets were this year’s top trending spring and summer style, and this quilted Barbour jacket is the perfect way to transition that trend into autumn. It might not be an ultra-cosy padded number for the depths of winter, but it’s a great layering piece to wear throughout autumn. Plus the cream colourway and tan cord collar give it a chic cold-weather nod whilst still being stylish and versatile enough to wear everywhere.
Despite having just shy of £50 slashed from the price, this Mango faux fur jacket is still available in all sizes from XS to XL. The ultimate hybrid between a fur coat and a bomber jacket, it has a gathered bubble hem, a funnel neck and oversized pockets, and is finished in a silky soft chocolate faux fur – perfect for pairing with leather trousers, leggings and boots, or even some cigarette trousers and heels for a night out.
Nobody influences a winter wardrobe quite like Claudia Winkleman on The Traitors, and this houndstooth wool coat from Nobody’s Child is giving us some serious Claude vibes. Longline, oversized and double breasted, it’s prime for layering over chunky knits, biker boots and of course a kilt or two when the weather drops. It is, however, selling out of sizes quickly, so you’ll need to be quick.
A puffer jacket is a wardrobe staple, especially when it’s as simple and timeless as this chocolate brown one from Monki at ASOS. With almost £40 off it’s an absolute steal, and the cropped length, voluminous puffer style and big pockets mean you can wear it with anything from your gym ‘fit to your workwear with ease.
Great for giving your autumn outfits a bit of 70s flare, this faux fur midi coat from New Look is soft, luxurious-feeling and cosy, with oversized lapels and a relaxed fit. Not only would it work for every day, but it’s also a great option if you need something warm to throw over a more formal outfit, especially now it’s almost £50 off.
One of the best bargains we’ve spotted at the moment, this longline puffer coat from Reiss has a huge £240 slashed off the price at the moment, with almost all sizes still in stock (plus a petite length option). Unlike most longer puffer coats which look bulky and unflattering, this has an elasticated waist belt that creates a more structured silhouette (and gives us serious Prada vibes).
Another piece of classic tailoring that’ll last a lifetime in your wardrobe is this wool-blend coat from Mango. It has an oversized fit, large notched lapels with a V-neck collar, and a double button fastening that makes it effortlessly chic, so you can throw it on over your favourite work trousers, a jumper and jeans, or even a midi dress. It’s also available in four different colours, each of which is on sale with 50% off.
