Recalibrating your sartorial arsenal to match the changing temperatures requires one (or seven) key additions to your wardrobe.

Autumn might come about at roughly the same time every year, but transitioning from summer’s climes to chillier ones is never a smooth process. Our wardrobes are required to play catch up while temperatures shift, gearing you up for milder leaf-strewn days and rain-drenched ones. Recalibrating your sartorial arsenal to match the changing temperatures and build a cohesive look requires a key addition to your wardrobe: a really useful jacket (or seven).

We meticulously design every piece that fills our collections and outerwear is no exception. We’re diligent about questioning the role and purpose something will have in your wardrobe, so our jackets and coats address different sartorial needs - from complementing a printed dress for a dinner with friends to wrapping you up in warmth when you’re bracing the cold for a weekend walk. Below we explore the women’s jackets and coats that are worth investing in now and wearing for years to come. Hint: they’re more than one-hit wonders, these are jackets that play multiple roles in your wardrobe, padding it out - literally and metaphorically - for the coming seasons.

1
The Cropped Military Jacket
 
The solution to styling dresses and high waistlines

Also known as the answer to dressing up everything from jeans to, well, dresses. Fashion’s love affair with military-inspired pieces isn’t a flash in the pan; gilded buttons, double-breasted silhouettes, and ornate trims inspired by the regalia define designer coats and jackets that always find a home on Fashion Week runways.

Our Military Button Crop Jacket is an integral player in a plethora of trans-seasonal and autumnal looks. Crafted from modern bouclé woven from a combination of wool and cotton, it celebrates a versatile black shade and a cropped silhouette that falls to the perfect length to complement high-rise trousers and jeans while retaining the shape and silhouette of a dress.

The Insulating Puffer
 
The solution to casual weekend outfitting

The cornerstone to any cold-weather-ready wardrobe worth its salt. An insulting puffer jacket is a must-have and the epitome of what we picture when we’re on the subject of winter coats. Intrinsically more casual by nature, our Re:Down Nylon Puffer Coat is the solution to rounding off a weekend-ready look, whether you’re getting your steps in on a brisk walk or enjoying a city break.

Putting a sports-luxe spin on your autumn and winter outfitting throughout the year’s coldest months, it champions a series of padded panels and is topped with a high neckline alongside a hood with an adjuster for a comfortable fit. Granting it sustainable credentials, the piece is filled with recycled down sourced from post-consumer goods that save the material from going to landfills and damaging the environment. 

Designed to be both bulk-free and insulating, the panels at the sides are filled with minimal padding for a more flattering finish while the sleeves are slightly fluted to make styling over winter’s thicker layers less bulky and restrictive.

The Longline Military Coat
 
The work-to-weekend solution

While cropped jackets might have a part to play in trans-seasonal outfitting, the time comes when as much as we’d like to only celebrate shorter styles and lightweight layers, the weather has other ideas.

Lending your looks the same polished finish as a cropped military jacket but with a silhouette better suited to autumn and winter’s chillier temperatures, our Italian Wool Forever Military Coat falls to a longline silhouette just below your knees and heroes a double-breasted front decorated with a series of gold-toned buttons.

While it elevates denim staples and more relaxed pieces with ease, it’s a piece we’re partnering with tailored trousers for both work and weekends instead. Build a look with colour-matched pieces for a tonal take or break up your ensemble with a classic check and knitwear.

The Multiway Cape

 
The solution to chunky jumper sleeves

Multiple looks with a single investment, our Forever Multiway Cape is fitted with button fastenings at the side that switches it from a classic cape silhouette with arm openings to one with sleeves to easily slot in alongside autumn and winter’s chunkiest knits and layers while retaining a slim, streamlined silhouette.

Crafted from Italian wool certified by the Global Recycled Standard, it is both breathable and warm and is detailed with a series of silver-toned buttons running down the centre below the neat collar.

Throughout the week, team it with insulting knits with wide sleeves that are easily accommodated by the arm openings. In the evening, slip it on over mini dresses and tights and introduce it to your workdrobe when you team it with a classic white shirt and tailored trousers.

5
The Velvet Blazer
 
The AM-PM solution

Complementing your pick of autumn and winter looks with its rich midnight-navy hue and tactile velvet fabrication, our Deconstructed Velvet Blazer is a rich AM-PM solution.

Celebrating a deconstructed silhouette, it falls in a more relaxed drape over your frame and is complemented by satin in dark navy. Play with textures when you slip it on paired with either casual, everyday knitwear and denim or eveningwear-appropriate frothy tulle and luxuriously soft cashmere, signing off your look with one more texture: our Velvet Evening Loafer.

6
The Shearling Jacket
 
The solution to elevating classic pairings
 
You might automatically picture shearling with a natural curl, but it can also hero an almost fur-like texture as seen on our Long Toscana Luxe Shearling Jacket. With a contemporary-meets-vintage aesthetic, it’s shaped to a classic long-sleeved silhouette topped with an exaggerated collar. From wide-leg man pants and tapered trousers to jeans and dresses, it instantly elevates your quotidian go-to’s, breathing new life into your favourite staples while introducing a rich chocolate hue to your cold-weather outfitting. 

At the sides, functional pockets keep small essentials safe or your hands warm whether you’re styling it with tailoring for a luxe office-leaning look or relaxed jogging bottoms and a soft knit when the weekend arrives.

The Tux Jacket

 
The essential eveningwear solution

The origin of the Tuxedo stretches back to the 1800s and London’s Savile Row. Edward VII asked for a jacket to be made for him that was more relaxed than traditional dinner tails. Another customer who was visiting from the States saw the design, ordered his own and returned with it to his home outside New York in Tuxedo Park - hence the name tux in the States. While we might have different words for the style on either side of the Pond, the design is the same.

Our iteration is an elegant jacket that brings together a matte and lustrous finish. It’s crafted from wool-blend tux tailoring certified by the Responsible Wool Standard and is outlined with satin on the lapels framing the V-neckline.

The final touch to a plethora of eveningwear looks, it can be styled alongside wide-leg trousers, tailored shorts, and long maxi skirts in the same black hue broken up by classic white shirting either buttoned up or left open and layered over a cami.
