Pinch, punch, first day of the month. Yes, it’s SEPTEMBER 1st, 2016. Where has this year gone? And why the wonderful, albeit uncharacteristically sunny weather all of a sudden? Where were you in June?
Don’t be fooled, it is officially autumn, and now is the time to get ahead of everyone else and get your hands on the jackets, coats and outerwear of the season before anyone else!
Wondering, which coat to invest in? We take a look at the puffers, bombers, bikers and classics you will definitely want to be seen in.
The Puffa Jacket – Despite the puffer jacket dating back over 75 years, it’s back on the fashion scene with a vengeance. With fresh new fabrics and designs, see how the likes of Acne, Isabel Marant and Topshop have reinvented the original that was once masterminded by Eddie Bauer.
Bombers – Like the puffer, this is not the first time we have seen the bomber jacket gracing the catwalks and sidewalks alike. A menswear staple, now fit for females too, fashion in its original state or with a more zany design. A favourite for all fashionistas.
Bikers – A true fundamental of the wardrobe and runway, the biker jacket can do no wrong. This season we see Saint Laurent, Etro and Coach focus on the finer details. Be it glittery stars, or embroidery, trademark your leather with needlework, detail and embellishment. If keeping your jacket minimalistic is more you, opt for over-sized and textural with a Shearling Biker.
Classic – What makes a timeless classic? Tailoring, simplicity, structure, luxury, the list goes on. These are the key pieces that we swoon over every season. If you don’t own a classic coat, it’s time to invest, as the designers have excelled themselves this fall. With Maxa Mara and Calvin Klein keeping the form lose, long and masculine and Valentino letting their designs do the talking, quite literally, it’s hard to choose just one to take home.
So, ignore the sunshine as it comes and goes, but when the hottest coats of the season sell out, they’re gone for good. Browse our ever-changing selection of outerwear here.
