It sometimes seems like our ‘winter’ coats are worn all year long, so they’re definitely in need of an update by the time September rolls around.

At New York Fashion Week, toggle coats, fur, oversized silhouettes and minimalist designs with statement detail dominated the runways so it’s worth keeping an eye out for those key trends when doing your annual shop.

As we always say though, the most important thing when making an investment purchase is making sure that it suits your own figure and style.
