Winter Jackets
I love coats but most people now are cycling or driving a motorbike so a jacket is the best option to be warm and comfortable at the same time. Also jackets have lots of pockets, so perfect to store money, keys and small things that you need at hand. I have picked some gorgeous items that might tempt you.
I just love, love and love this gorgeous purple and orange sheepskin aviator jacket by Aries. It just summarises my favourite colours all together and they work perfectly. This beauty is made to order and it takes up to 5 weeks to receive it but believe me it is worth it. The style is timeless, the colours are always trendy and being of very good quality it will last forever. www.ariesarise.com
This biker jacket is another beauty. It is the AN/OR Snake Biker jacket exclusive for John Lewis & Partners. It is made 100% leather, fully lined and with asymmetrical cut. One of those garments that will stay with you forever so worth it to invest in it. www.johnlewis.com
It is very bright and cheerful, and we need to be cheerful and bright during winter time, the pink check wool trucker jacket by Simply Be. It closes with a zip, it is machine washable and it goes from size 12 to size 26. It is just what we need on a grey day. www.simplybe.co.uk
Wrap yourself up in this quilted, padded copper coloured jacket by Autograph for Marks & Spencer. The filling is polyester so it can be put in the washing machine and it is perfect for your daily commute as well as for a night out because of its metallic colour. www.marksandpencer.com
Biker jackets are among the popular styles when thinking of winter jackets because they can be worn even in early spring while a coat might be seen too wintery. This soft lamb leather biker jacket is by Selected Femme and it is stocked at Anthropologie among other retailers as well as online. I like the studded details and it can be great with a casual outfit or for an edgy party look. www.selected.com
The over the topness of Filles A Papa is great and fun and this beautiful iridescent Canon shearling jacket is just what you need to brave a cold winter. This brand comes from Belgium and the style is very striking. www.shop.fillesapapa.com
Who doesn't like something sparkly when the weather is grey and dreary ? This lovely black boucle' jacket by Wallis has got shimmery details and diamonds buttons. Perfect for jazzing up a casual look and for an evening out. www.wallis.co.uk
Sheepskin are always on trend and recently colourful ones have become very popular. This little beauty in Dusty Rose and Bottle Green is by Scotch & Soda. It is made of lamb suede with shearling lining, a double breasted buttons closure and side pockets. It is available also in Bottle Green and Mustard. www.scotch-soda.com
Red Herring for Debenhams has always got great garments. I love its designs and the colours, and this puffa jacket is absolutely great. It is padded, filled with polyester and it is machine washable. Inject some colours on a cloudy day and be warm. www.debenhams.com
As I was saying before the biker jacket is very popular and there are many versions around. This faux fur one by Munthe, a Danish brand from Copenhagen, gives a nod to the metallic trend with silver sleeves and waistband and a faux shearling lining that keeps you warm. www.munthe.com
