Beat the chill: 12 great men’s coats for wrapping up in style | Men’s fashion

It’s always good to be prepared for anything the weather throws at you. Your coat purchase is arguably the biggest spend in your wardrobe and the aim is to buy something that lasts several years and sits out trends. This season more than ever designers and stores are championing classic styles in a neutral colour palette that will seamlessly work in your wardrobe.

Whether you opt for a long tailored coat, a style that dominated the Milan runways, from clean lined and ankle-length at Gucci to all-black at Valentino and oversized boxy 80s styles at Emporio Armani. Or choose functionality with a water-resistant trench or puffer coat that will keep you cosy.
