The 20 Best Wool Coats 2024, Fashion Editor Approved

As we settle into autumn/winter, it's time to embrace one of fashion's cosiest companions – a great wool coat. This is the season where we layer up, pack away our light jackets and make way for the luxurious warmth that only a well-crafted winter coat can provide.

One of our favourite things about a wool coat is it's timeless-ness, the perfect investment piece to add to your outerwear wardrobe. Look for classic silhouettes and timeless shades of camel, navy or muted tones (that'll go with everything in your wardrobe) for maximum staying power. A good wool coat is something that will never go out of style, so if you're looking at cost per wear, this is the piece that will soon earn its place as the hardest-working piece in your closet. Whilst a puffer jacket is usually seen as the warmest style of outerwear, it can often look a little casual. So, if you're heading to work, off out for an evening, or in need of something a little smarter - a wool coat is a great alternative that always looks chic and put together whilst giving guaranteed warmth.

Whilst a pure wool coat can be a little on the expensive size, there is nothing wrong with opting for a blend, just look out for a higher percentage of wool. It really depends on what you’re after. A full wool coat offers excellent insulation and warmth, making it ideal for cold climates. Its natural water resistance provides some protection against rain and snow, and it can last for years if properly maintained. However, full wool coats can feel heavy and bulky, and they often require special care, such as dry cleaning, to avoid shrinkage. And has mentioned before they also tend to be on the more expensive side. On the other hand, a blended wool coat is lighter, more flexible, and generally easier to maintain, with some options being machine-washable. Blended coats are better at resisting wrinkles than pure wool, making them a more convenient choice for everyday wear. Remember to look out for brands that use recycled wool, too!
