These 12 Influencers Just Found the Most Expensive-Looking High-Street Coats

It’s no secret that we Who What Wear editors love to find great value buys on the high street. If you shop wisely and look out for good-quality, classic pieces, you can really uncover some expensive-looking gems that will work in your wardrobe for a long time. Yes, it might make sense to invest more in things like a luxury leather bag, cashmere knit or hard-wearing boots to ensure their longevity. But there are some key staples I always turn to the high street for. Things like denim, shirting and—what we’re here to talk about today—coats. 

Honestly, I’ve found some of my favourite, most-complimented and longest-lasting coats on the high street, and I know for a fact my fellow editors feel the same. But it’s not just us. This year, I’ve seen so many influencers wearing high-street coats that by no means look cheap. I don’t know how they do it, but influencers manage to track down the best high-street pieces and style them to look like they could easily be designer. Take Lucy Williams in Boden's cosy shearling coat (which is on sale, by the way) or Lorna in Weekday's perfectly oversized number.
