Investing in a Great Coat Shouldn't Cost a Fortune
Author: Stylist at TellarDate: 2025
There’s something about a great coat. The kind you throw on and instantly look pulled together—even if you’re just wearing joggers and a hoodie underneath. But contrary to what the luxury market might have you believe, a high-quality coat doesn’t need to cost £1,000+. You can find beautifully cut, well-made outerwear for far less—if you know where to look.
🧵 What Makes a Coat Worth Investing In?
- Cut & Shape: Look for sharp shoulders, clean lapels, and a length that hits mid-thigh to knee. Structured without being stiff.
- Fabric: Wool blend is ideal. Bonus points for recycled fibres or water-resistant shells. Don’t fall for plastic-heavy fabrics disguised as premium.
- Versatility: The best coats pair with everything—from tailoring to track pants. Avoid over-designed details.
