There’s no more fighting it – winter is well and truly here. But you can fight the chill in a super stylish, flattering coat!
A/W15 coat trend: The maxi coat.
Hot off the Chloé catwalk, maxi coats are going to be big this season. Pretty handy as masculine cuts and longline lengths will make you look taller and slimmer in an instant (so there’s no need to skip the cake this winter).
Look like you’ve just stepped off the runway with our pick of the best maxi coats.

Not sure how to wear your maxi coat? You’re not alone!
Longling coats can be difficult to get used to. But you won’t feel weird if you follow our top tips.
Make sure your coat is the right length for you. If your legs aren’t your favourite feature then pick a style that just about reaches your ankles. Team a full length maxi coat with a pair of heels as these will add the extra height needed to carry off such a masculine style.
If you’re a pair shape, you’ll probably find that your lower legs are much slimmer than your thighs, and so a midi coat will suit you better as it will cover chunky thigh and show off slender calves!
Don’t let the coat swamp you! Petite ladies will face this problem but it’s not all lost. Pick a coat that fits you well around the shoulders and the rest will all fall into place.
Not sure what to wear it with? Try teaming this masculine style coat with a pair of slouchy or tailored trousers and a chunky knit. Steer away from feminine dresses as these won’t sit right under such a tailored shape.
