The hunt for the perfect winter coat can be never-ending. Do you go for short, long, mid length? A puffer jacket? A barn jacket? Or classic wool? So many questions and maybe too many options. As a shopping editor, I am always on the hunt for the best new items and brands to invest in and, when it comes to outerwear, there's one brand that always springs to mind: Albaray.
Before I get into my favourite item from the Albaray winter collection, there are plenty of other great options that deserve a mention. The pebble-grain leather bomber jacket is sheer '70s perfection, complete with detachable shearling collar, whilst the curly borg cream bomber is emerging as a fashion favourite with some sizes already selling out. There's also seriously good classic pieces, for example this navy wool Peacoat or a beautiful grey double-breasted coat, each of which you'll wear for years to come.
But, back to my favourite, which comes in the form of a grey Herringbone wrap coat in the perfect long length. I've been wearing this with tailored trousers and a cashmere knit for work and thrown on over a hoodie and jeans for chilly days out running errands.
So, if you're looking to invest in a great new coat, Albaray currently have 25% off all collections across the website so now is the time to shop...
