Every time you buy a new coat, you should think of it as building out your permanent collection of outwear. Coats are pricey, occupy a lot of space in your closet, and are certainly something you want to wear more than a single season. Every now and then a new shape comes along that's worth the splurge and this season's blanket coat is a fresh silhouette to consider. Its longer, slightly oversized throw-on-and-go shape lends itself to easy, stylish dressing. Even foundation wardrobe items like a cashmere knit and denim underneath get a trendy update with an oversized coat. Try pairing it with a smaller structured cross-body bag and sunglasses and you've created an effortless look that you can wear all day and look pulled together. The oversized nature of the blanket coat feels extra cosy and makes layering simple. Scroll for our favourites.
