When you hear the words 'teddy bear coat', you may be starting to get ready for the cold frosty weather of winter to hit - and you wouldn't be wrong. Known for their cosy fabrics and oversized silhouettes, teddy coats have been debated as one of the best coats to invest in for years. And, when it comes to winter wardrobes comfort is key, after all.
Arguably showing signs of nostalgia towards 2018, it may take a little convincing to really see the potential of a teddy bear coat - but they are arguably as timeless as the trench coat or puffer jacket. Winter calls, and so does a particularly cosy coat to cuddle into. That's where the teddy comes in handy.
So, whether you're looking for the most illustrious Max Mara teddy coat or just want to shop an everyday option from Goelia, Free People and every shop in between, we've found the best teddy coats you can get your hands on ahead of the cold season. You'll want to get one of these before the coldness hits.
