From heritage tweeds to pastel shades, these women’s coats work for all occasions

If you are investing in a new coat, timeless silhouettes will always reign supreme, from sharp shouldered oversized wool coats, iconic duffles to cocoon silhouettes in shades of berry through to pastel pink and heritage orange checks.

On the autumn/winter 2024 runways, we saw elegant double breasted styles at Dries Van Noten and Miu Miu, Alaïa presented sculptural iterations on the classic black coat, while Chloé’s coat of the season came in a heritage-style check.
