A coat and trainers are big investments, and it can take a lot of time and consideration to find the ones that will see you through cold weather season. When looking for the best winter coats, you want yours to keep you warm on the chilliest of days while looking stylish and being able to layer up with any outfit, and as it's such a big spend, ideally, you want a piece that will last for years to come.
If you are unsure about what to go for, I’d always suggest looking into a camel coat. The warm beige colour is timeless and easy to wear with pretty much any colour, and they tend to look and feel a little more polished than brighter colour pop pieces or anything printed. If you find yours now, I guarantee that you will be wearing it on repeat each winter.
Don’t believe me? Take a look at Jennifer Lawrence’s outfit from back in 2023. The actress looked amazing in the Toteme Signature Wool Blend Coat, which she wore over a butter yellow jumper and white jeans. The celebrity complemented her laidback look with a pair of beige Adidas Gazelle trainers and the coveted Loewe Puzzle Fold Tote. The look wowed back then, but as it’s such a classic combination, it still feels very fresh and on trend for right now.

Jennifer's coat from the Scandi fashion label Toteme had a lovely soft, relaxed shape and an oversized draped collar. This similar style will recreate her slouchy look perfectly.
Butter yellow has been a total hit with the fashion set this year, and a soft, fluffy jumper like this one will take the pastel hue into the cold weather season nicely.
When it comes to the most comfortable trainers, you really can't go wrong with this iconic pair. Similar to Jennifer's now sold-out style, the beige tone will work with absolutely every colour and print in your wardrobe too.

Perennial prints like checks or leopard print will also make a wise investment - you can wear them year after year without any risk of them going out of style.
A coat really can be expensive, so avoid buying something very trend-led or edgy and stick with the classics that you know will last. Buy yours now, and you'll love it forever.
