Select the Right Coat and Jacket Style for You


Select the Right Coat and Jacket Style for You

There is a huge selection of coat and jacket styles for you to choose from:

  • Fur- and faux fur coats:  Fur coats and faux fur coats feature both form and function, keeping you feeling warm and looking stylish whether you’re out on the town or in the great outdoors.   

  • Wool coats: Buy yourself a rich, luxuriously textured wool coat to keep the cold temperatures at bay. These are available in short-, mid-, and full-length jackets, and add a touch of elegance to your evening stroll. Even more sumptuous than a pure wool coat is a wool-and-cashmere coat combo.

  • Contemporary jackets: Contemporary jackets are characterised by clean lines, edgy styling, and unexpected textural contrasts. Denim jackets, bomber jackets, and corduroy jackets are a few examples that fit in this category. AbercrombieDiesel, FCUK, Marc Jacobs, and Ralph Lauren serve up some stylish options.   

  • Leather and suede jackets:  Leather and suede jackets project a confident and strong style that never goes out of fashion. Bomber jackets and blazers in short- and full-length cuts and in various colours, suit every personality.

  • Tailored jackets: You'll find a great selection of stylish women's tailored jackets and men's tailored jackets. These are a great choice for work or if you are going for a smart casual look.

  • Performance/athletic outerwear: You'll be prepared for everything from a springtime breeze to a wintertime rainstorm in sturdy and adaptable fleece jackets, sports jackets, windbreakers, or anoraks. Velcro closures, storm flaps, and elasticised cuffs will keep you warm and dry year-round. Popular choices include Kathmandu, The North Face, Adidas and Nike.    

  • Raincoats: When rain, or drizzle has been forecast, raincoats will keep you protected from the storm at hand. Classic trench coats and hip-length toppers in several weather-resistant colours are also a stylish alternative.

  • Vests: Always trendy, vests are a casual option on brisk days. Buy thick, down-filled models to help keep you warm and toasty no matter the weather.

Explore Coat and Jacket Materials


Explore Coat and Jacket Materials

Coats and jackets come in various materials, each with its own special characteristics:

  • Fleece: If you tend to lead an active and energetic lifestyle, you’ve got to love the light, comfortable, casual feel of fleece. You'll find plenty of polar fleece jackets as well for extra warmth. Microfleece is a softer version of fleece with a “velvety” feel.

  • Nylon: Nylon jackets are sturdy, tough and adaptable, and are the kind of jackets you can wear in any kind of weather. Windbreakers and ski jackets are typical examples.     

  • Leather: Embossed or distressed leather or suede jackets of cowhide or lambskin will put you front and centre. Your individuality will stand out with further embroidery, metallic accents, and unexpected colour options.     

  • Microfibre:  Microfibre jackets are twice as fine as silk, and with a finish that’s unbelievably soft to the touch. Microfibre jackets can be classified into four supple varieties: acrylic microfibres, nylon microfibres, polyester microfibres, and rayon microfibres.    

  • Wool: You won't simply find wool made from just sheep or lamb fleece anymore. Wool jackets can be just as easily composed of luxurious cashmere, angora, or exotic camel, alpaca, or llama.   

  • Suede: Suede is actually softly napped leather while ultrasuede is a synthetic form of suede.

Get the Perfect Fit for Your Jacket


Get the Perfect Fit for Your Jacket

Choose the ideal fit when it comes to your coat or jacket, to suit your style:

  • Oversized: Achieve that sophisticated oversized look, by nicely draping a loose wool jacket on yourself.     

  • Fitted: If you prefer a fitted look, choose jackets with tapered waists or “A-line” cuts (jackets that hug the upper body and flow at the hips). Bear in mind that leather jackets are often cut smaller than other styles so considering purchasing a leather jacket that is one size bigger than you would normally buy.

If you'd like more help, refer to our guide on How to Get the Right Fit, and then consult our sizing charts to find the right size for you. However, remember to always check the item listing for fit descriptions and size charts, since they may vary across designer brands.
