The one fashion question I'm asked the most by my friends is, "Where is the best place to buy a winter coat?" Whatever budget you're working within, a winter coat tends to take up a large chunk of your clothing costs, and so it's a purchase that takes some consideration.

Whether you're able to invest in a luxury label or want to find the best the high street has to offer, below, you'll find the 13 brands that I think you can always depend on when it comes to outerwear. It'll be no surprise to you that a Max Mara coat is the ultimate purchase. However, at the contemporary level, I'm also always impressed by minimalist favourite The Frankie Shop, A-list-adored Khaite and solid investment option Joseph. When it comes to the high street, the Scandinavian brands really do coats like no other, as Arket, COS and & Other Stories are my go-tos.

1. Max Mara

Let's start with the best of the best, shall we? Italian fashion brand Max Mara creates the most beautiful coats, whether you're after a cosy teddy bear coat or a classic camel belted style.

2. Toteme

Toteme was created by fashion blogger Elin Kling and has quickly become a favourite for wardrobe staples, and its coats are no exception. Understated, elegant and always with an unexpected tailoring twist, there's a reason why these coats are always an influencer favourite.

On the high street, & Other Stories offers the perfect selection of coats, from classic to statement. The belted wool-blend coats, in particular, are a best seller every year.

4. Khaite

Beloved by models, A-listers and fashion insiders alike, Khaite has rapidly become a go to for seriously elevated, minimal pieces. Brilliantly tailored with just the right amount of edge, these coats would be a hero piece of your outerwear collection.

COS is known for its simple, minimalist basics. However, that doesn't mean the coats lack personality—its wool coats this season are pure perfection.

Harris Wharf's traditional tailored coats are made in Turin, Italy, and are the perfect choice if you're looking for something classic. Meghan Markle is also a fan.

The Paris and New York-based label has developed a cult following for its elevated staples, and that extends to its outerwear offering. From the iconic quilted jackets to the longer belted styles, there's always something to love.

I always think that Zara's strong point is its selection of coats, and this year is no different.
