It’s officially big coat season, and I for one, am excited. Arguably one of the cosiest pieces in your wardrobe, a great wool coat not only offers warmth, but can add a luxurious finish to every outfit in the colder months. Unlike the casual comfort of a puffer jacket or parka, a well-tailored wool coat makes for an elegant companion for when you need something just a little bit smarter for work or an evening event. With the right coat, winter dressing is a breeze, and Reiss’ AW24 collection has a delicious selection of outerwear that takes the stress out of layering this season.
Brimming with a selection of elevated basics, Reiss’ new collection has everything required for a winter capsule wardrobe and then some. We’re talking wool coats, cashmere knits, tailored trousers, cosy dresses and versatile jeans. Blurring the line between timeless and trendy, it’s difficult not to add everything to cart. But if you’re looking to buy just one new coat this winter, might I suggest the Bridget Wool-Blend Blindseam Coat, £378?

With a fluid drape and luxurious wool finish, this coat will pair perfectly with your tailored work wardrobe as well as your party dress for the festive season.
The Bridget coat is the perfect investment piece to add to your wardrobe. It boasts a timeless silhouette with a relaxed fit, broad notched lapels and a belted waist. The classic coat is crafted from a wool-blend using blind seams to offer fluidity and softness. While it’s available in three neutral shades, the cream iteration is a clear winner for the upcoming season.
While the Bridget coat is a great throw-over-everything option, should you be in need of pieces to layer underneath, we’ve found plenty at Reiss. A particular standout is the Misha Cashmere Crew Neck Jumper, £250 in charcoal. Crafted from 100% brushed cashmere, the fluffy jumper’s slouchy fit and classic crew neckline make it endlessly versatile and promises great cost per wear. Whether you layer it under a blazer for work or wear with your favourite jeans on the weekends, the comfy knit feels like a warm hug wherever you are.

Then there’s the Eden Wide-Leg Twill Trousers, £128 that’s sure to be the most hard-working piece in your wardrobe. The tailored fit is perfect for formal occasions while the elasticated waist adds a comfortable edge. Plus, it’s available in a petite fit which is especially appealing to me at 5'2.
