As you may have all noticed, summer is well and truly on its way out. Those shorter nights are a clear sign that winter is setting in. But fret not, it’s time to invest in the hottest trend, heritage. Splurge on a coat and start layering up! We have pulled together houndstooth, plaid and check coats to help you stay in line with this trend.
Take inspiration from Miu Miu's AW15 show and choose a retro check, or keep it sleek with a tailored black and white houndstooth coat from Sandro. Both high street and designers are brimming with options and we have compiled a section that will help you introduce this trend to your winter wardrobe.
