Winter is fast approaching, which means it's time to treat ourselves to that gorgeous new coat we've had our eye on. While most of us have a go-to jacket that's lasted us many chilly seasons, it's nice to make a little space in our wardrobes for some new season outerwear. This Winter, we've taken a look at the best London street style and found seven standout coat trends that will be populating the pavements well into the new year.
London's Winter street style showed us that patent coats are taking over from the leather coats we once loved. The leather look still makes for an edgy, chic outfit, but faux leather and earth-toned patent coats are definitely leading this trend. Quilted coats have also grown in popularity, taking the throne from their bulkier cousin, the puffer jacket. And while we move toward more ethical fabrics that are kinder to animals, teddy jackets are becoming more popular than faux-fur coats this season. Two-tone outerwear, capes, and candy-coloured pastel coats are some surprise Winter trends we've also spotted, while the classic checked overcoat makes its way to the top of our list as a timeless choice.
Keep reading ahead for seven of our favourite Winter coat trends, and here are some quick links to each of the silhouettes:

1 Winter 2019 Coat Trend: Patent
Patent and leather-look coats are definitely growing in popularity. Their polished finish adds an edgy touch to any outfit, and they're perfect for the UK's rainy days.

2 Winter 2019 Coat Trend: Quilted
If you love a cosy, classic puffer jacket but want a more streamlined silhouette, then try a quilted coat. They're easier to layer and have a luxe look that makes us think of Chanel's iconic quilted handbags, or Bottega Veneta's viral new season pieces.

3 Winter 2019 Coat Trend: Two-Tone

4 Winter 2019 Coat Trend: Checks
A check overcoat is a timeless classic. Of all the popular prints (floral, polka-dots, and animal prints), checks really do mean business. They instantly make an outfit look smarter but still keeps it fun and interesting with a pop of pattern.
Mango Checked Structured Coat
Zara Check Coat with Belt
Frankie Asymmetrical Button Wool Blend Coat in Black and Brown Check
Sézane James Coat
5 Winter 2019 Coat Trend: Cape
Cape coats are a bit new on the scene. While they might remind you a bit of Harry Potter's invisible cloak, or Little Red Riding Hood's red cape, we love that these coats have the cosiness of a warm blanket but the finish of a chic peacoat.
Zara Long Cape with Pockets
COS Wool-Mix Hooded Cape
& Other Stories Belted Plaid Coat Cape
A.W.A.K.E Watson Trench Coat Cape Beige
6 Winter 2019 Coat Trend: Pastel
Pastels for Winter? Actually, kind of groundbreaking. While this lovely ice-cream palette is usually reserved for Spring, we're loving to see more Autumn and Winter designs rocking milky shades versus the usual Winter black, gray, and brown.
Topshop Apricot Dropped Coat
Nanushka Alamo Coat in Lilac
Topshop Buttermilk Oversized Dad Coat
Monki Long Tailored Coat
7 Winter 2019 Coat Trend: Teddy
Teddy coats are like a warm, cosy hug. They have a nostalgic, childlike comfort that has transitioned into adulthood in a very chic way. We love that you can dress them up or down, while feeling snug as a bug.
