Last year, thanks to Balenciaga, the puffer coat won the trend race, but this year's hero buy is just as cosy. It's all about texture for A/W 17, especially when it comes to outerwear, and the key coats are shearling Del Boys and cuddly teddy bear coats. Shearling comes in all forms this winter, from pink cropped bikers to coats that resemble dressing gowns.
If you want to get a head start on the trend, Topshop's snuggly faux shearling cocoon coat is already so popular that it has almost sold out, and we love Whistles' sugary pink jacket with oversize pockets. Our fantasy purchase would be a sweeping teddy bear coat from Max Mara. While Sakks Potts's long colour-blocked shearling coats have been popular with the street style crowd for several seasons now, and they have been worn by everyone from Eva Chen to Leandra Medine.
