Shaking off its reputation as a mere cold weather essential, the winter coat has evolved into something of a hero piece – a theory proved to perfection by the Daisy coat. Combining a borrowed-from-the-boys aesthetic with pretty embroidered detailing, this wool-blend design ticks off two trends at once, and can be easily considered as the focal point of any look.
Whether worn with an everyday ensemble or an occasion piece, this statement coat is set to become your AW17 investment piece. Give it an extra air of glamour with a faux fur stole in light grey, placing it over the collar for a look that’s perfect for both day and night.
Capes have made their comeback for yet another season, adding a dose of drama to our cold-weather looks. Enhancing the theatrical feel of this hero trend is the Hermione cape, crafted from plush black velvet in a long-line cut, and intricately adorned with embroidered florals and paisley patterns in soft, muted tones.
For the fashion brave, team this trophy piece over a printed midi dress for a modern take on classic bohemian styling. Finish with knee-high boots in black, plus a fedora hat that feels straight out of the seventies. Prefer to play it a little more understated? Keep the cape as the main talking point of your look by wearing it with a simple blouse and skinny-fit denim.
