I only buy winter coats when they're on sale—these are the timeless options I'm investing in

The warmer, the better

We get it; investing in a new winter coat can be overwhelming. From different lengths to colourways and materials, the possibilities are endless. As a shopping expert, I have learned that investing in a good quality coat to see you through the colder months goes a long way.

Of course, the possibilities are endless. Puffer styles hold enough insulation to ensure warmth throughout the day, whereas scarf coats are designed to stay warm without excess layers. Meanwhile, shaggy coats offer a versatile styling option if you're looking for something that will keep you warm while adding a layer of texture to your look.

Regardless of which coat trend you're eyeing this season, the best expert tip I can offer is to wait until Black Friday to buy your new statement coat. There are some exceptional fashion deals to be had, with several retailers adding their latest styles to their sales this season—word to the wise, things are starting to sell out, so take advantage of these deals whilst you can.

On the high street, Massimo Dutti's thick new-in double-breasted coat is currently 20% off, while luxury styles like Toteme's classic cream coat have just been marked 40% off.

So, if you're looking for a great coat to invest in now and wear forever, here is our roundup of the best coat deals we have spotted this Black Friday 2024.
