We Knew This Coat Would Be the First It Item of Autumn 2019

Giving us a very good indicator of the first must-have on the lists of editors, buyers, bloggers and stylists, Anderson's checked-collar and cuffed, balloon-sleeved trench coat seemed to strike a chord for many.
Playing into the ongoing look we've seen for voluminous silhouettes, this not-so-simple trench also ticked two other major trends: Everyone in our capital city has been wearing shades of beige to hit the streets of LFW, and on the runways, it's clear to see that plaids, tartans and checks will continue well into the end of the year. It's a triple-pronged attack and a ridiculously chic one at that.

Paired with wide-leg trousers, a black top, leather-cap bag and a chunky gold chain necklace, this easy yet impactful coat felt at once familiar and entirely new and different.
Not only has this piece become a fashion star within its own right (see the below posts), but it also further launched the career of the model wearing it: This was Medea Morton's first-ever London catwalk, and it certainly won't be her last.

In the past week, the trench coat has finally dropped. Net-a-Porter had tipped it to be a key buying item for the new season, and already influencers such as Monikh and Jeanette Madsen have been spotted in it. We don't expect the style to stay around for long despite its £1350 price tag.
Keep scrolling to see who's already obsessed with it, and then shop both the new trench coat plus some other autumnal JW Anderson pieces we love.
