This High-Street Store Is Known for Doing the Very Best Coats

Ever since it launched in the UK back in 2017, Arket has made its way into the high-street Hall of Fame within an impressively short space of time, identifying a gap in the market and securing itself as an authority on the elusive "elevated basic." The brand's outwear has become a particular hit with the fashion crowd, from the oversized wool blazers to the sell-out down puffer coat.

Notable in the way that it resists the urge to jump on any passing trend, Arket tends to stick to the same classic styles that it brings out year after year—cold-weather heroes that will go with any outfit for any occasion. Every winter, these coats and jackets will sell out, so clearly, the brand is doing something right.

In an ode to Arket's outwear wizardry, we've done a bit of digging to identify the four coats and jackets that the brand gets right every year and that we keep spotting all over Instagram. We're talking colourful coats, wool fabrics, overshirts and puffers—all affordable investments that you won't regret spending your hard-earned cash on. Ready? Scroll down to see and the shop the Arket coats that will never get old.

Style Notes: We've said it once, and we'll say it again, Arket's puffer coats are such a good investment. The sleek design that's become custom to Arket is combined with insulating puffer style for the ultimate cold weather coat.

Style Notes: Wool coats are a classic featuring for autumn and winter. Slightly oversized, they allow for layering underneath and still look smart enough for the office or evenings out.

Style Notes: Arket has added pile coats to it's arsenal this season, and we're definitely here for it. The cosy fabrication takes on a fleece-like look, but in true Arket form, the minimalist design adds an elevated feel.
