January might feel like it’s “too late” to buy a winter coat, given we’ve been plunged into cold climes for the last three months, but it’s actually the perfect time to invest. Many retailers are welcoming early spring stock, meaning that some standout winter coats are currently on sale – plus, let’s be real, the freezing temperatures aren’t departing anytime soon, so you might as well make the most of the joy a great winter coat can bring. Our advice is to try multiple silhouettes before making a decision – be it a puffer, bomber jacket, leather coat or sculptural longline style – and try styling them with existing pieces in your wardrobe to guarantee maximum wear for seasons to come.
