Style Notes: Checks always make for a wise coat investment, but often, the colour palette can feel wintery and dark. For spring, embrace colourful checks that'll add oomph to all of your outfits.

Style Notes: While black outerwear will always be classic, for spring, add a navy coat into your rotation. Softer in tone but just as wearable, it'll look the stylish part worn with a basic white tee and vintage-wash denim.

Style Notes: The quilted-coat trend is sticking around for the season ahead, which is excellent news, as the typically waterproof fabric will serve you well during those spring showers.

Style Notes: Often, it's the smallest details that can make the biggest difference to your look. Cue shoestring belts. Robe coats always feel chunky, so search for styles with simple, skinny belts that look more streamlined for spring.

Style Notes: Shearling continues to be one of the biggest trends right now, but there's no denying that it can feel very wintery when it covers the entire coat. Instead, look for options where shearling acts as a trim.

Style Notes: More standout and crisp than tartan or Prince of Wales prints, supersize houndstooth motifs are cropping up in both the high-street and high-end shopping circuits.
