Men's and women's coats: wool, peacoats, and trench coats

Women's wool coats: COMMA, s.Oliver and Armedangels

The cape coat COMMA in blended wool, egg-shaped with a knit collar, the slim-fit wool coat s.Oliver with ribbed cuffs and the double-breasted wool coat Armedangels, from the German brand founded in Cologne, cover office outfits as well as weekend wear. The women's wool coat fastens over a turtleneck.

Women's coats Desigual, Ichi and Le Temps des Cerises

The Desigual Napoles and Vio coats, featuring the designs of the Barcelona brand, the Ichi Jannet coat and the Le Temps des Cerises Arty coat play with colours and cuts. The Grace & Mila Shonna coat, with a faux fur appearance, dresses up a winter outfit: the long women's coat is worn over a dress or wide trousers.

Men's coat: pea coat Armor-Lux and wool coat Superdry

For men, the pea coat Armor-Lux Cap Sizun, from the French brand based in Quimper, and the wool coat Superdry Merchant Store are worn with a sweater and raw jeans. The men's wool coat also covers a suit jacket.

Trench coats and raincoats: Guess, Aigle and Ilse Jacobsen Hornbæk

The women's trench Guess, the trench Selfhood, the trench coat Aigle and the waterproof trench Ilse Jacobsen Hornbæk, along with the softshell coat lined with fleece from the same brand, are worn in mid-season and in the rain. The women's trench is worn belted, over a fine sweater or a shirt.

Aviator jackets: Schott and Alpha Industries

The shearling bomber jacket Schott and the Schott B-3, from the American brand, and the aviator jacket Alpha Industries CWU fit in with coats for their warmth. The aviator jacket in shearling is worn like a short coat, with jeans and ankle boots.

How to choose a coat

The length depending on the outfit: at the hips with jeans, mid-thigh over a suit jacket, knee-length over a dress. The material depending on the cold: thick wool or a cloak for winter, a cotton trench for mid-season. The coat size is taken with a thick sweater underneath.

Coats, parkas, and waterproof jackets: the full selection

The parkas provide better protection from rain and wind, the waterproof jackets are lighter, and the coats and parkas feature the entire selection. The coat or parka: the first one dresses up an outfit more.

Coat colours: camel, black, grey or navy blue

Camel is the classic wool coat colour; black and anthracite grey go with everything; navy blue matches pea coats and office attire. A camel coat is worn with an ecru sweater and raw jeans, a black coat with a black turtleneck.

Faux fur coat, hooded coat and white coat

The faux fur coat, whether short or long, is worn over a simple outfit so that it remains the statement piece. The hooded coat, in wool fabric or water-repellent material, protects against light rain without an umbrella. The white or ecru coat brightens up winter, provided it is cleaned more often; a green or burgundy coat adds variety to black and camel.

Cheap coats: special offers, sales and Black Friday

The cheap coat can be found in special offers and clearance, and the new coats and jackets show the models of the season. At the end of November, the Black Friday jackets and coats lowers the prices of coats and pea coats. Fast shipping and best price guarantee.

Frequently asked questions about coats

What coat size should I take?

Your usual size if the coat is worn over a thin sweater, one size up for a thick sweater or a jacket. The shoulders fall just right and the sleeves cover the wrist: the correct size is checked with arms outstretched.

How to remove pills from a wool coat?

Use a fabric shaver or a lint brush, flat, without pressing. The pills mainly appear where the bag rubs: the blended wool pills more than pure wool.

Does a wool coat keep you warm in the rain?

Wool can withstand light rain and retains warmth even when wet, but a heavy downpour will soak it. In rainy weather, a trench or parka offers better protection.

How to store a coat in summer?

Clean, on a wide hanger that maintains the shoulder shape, in a breathable fabric cover. A sachet of lavender or cedar repels moths from the wool.

Crossover or straight coat: which to choose?

The crossover, like the pea coat, closes better against the wind and accentuates the silhouette; the straight style is easier to wear open. For a first coat, the straight coat goes with more outfits.
