The Best Winter Coats for Men

Ralph Lauren is a long-lasting, well-respected designer brand, which has stood the test of time. And while it's perhaps best known for its range of polos and Oxford shirts, we're also loving Ralph Lauren's current range of jackets and outerwear, like this Cotton-Blend Fleece Overshirt that can also be worn as a lightweight jacket.

A denim jacket is a failsafe pick. More practical, perhaps, to be worn in the spring and summer months, this classic, stonewashed number from A.P.C. with marigold topstitching and engraved buttons, is prefect for pairing with virtually anything no matter the season.

Whether you're in need of a warm, everyday jacket for the winter or something that will keep you insulated on long hikes (or even days on the slopes), Columbia has your back. This Men's Puffer is available to in eight colours and comes in at a far more affordable price tag than alternatives from North Face and co.

Trench coats are an absolute menswear classic. Fastened and belted, this AllSaints number feels smart enough for work; but you can definitely rock it open over joggers and hoodies on the weekend, too.

Nike's ACG 'Oregon Series' Reissue jacket is pure genius: it's reversible, so you can flip between a windproof, water-resistant outer jacket and a warm olive, black and earth coloured fleece. Two jackets for the price of one – that's a big tick from us.

Lululemon's '80s-inspired windbreaker is water-repellent, so handy for those days when the rain just will not stop. Plus, this sleek colour-block coat can be easily folded into its carry pouch for you to keep in your gym bag/work backpack/ car boot – it pays to be prepared, fellas.

If you're not into aviators, Ted Baker's fleece-lined jacket is a sleek take on the shearling trend. We love how the brand has updated the classic workwear style with a relaxed, drop shoulder silhouette.

You can never go wrong with a classic mac. M&S' has a (removable) quilted lining for extra warmth and is coated with the brand's Stormwear™ finish to keep you dry on rainy winter walks.

AllSaints' technical winter coat has all the bells and whistles: a water-repellent finish, windproof coating and taped seams, as well as a pack-away hood. You definitely don't have to worry about being caught in a storm wearing this baby.

If you find tailored wool coats a little too chilly during winter, you're in for a treat. Canadian luxury brand Mackage's smart style comes with a detachable insert that sits just under your collar to keep your neck and chest warm – talk about trans-seasonal.

This winter, M&S has updated the classic quilted jacket with the brand's unique Stormwear technology to help protect you from the elements.

Although Nike's Storm-FIT ADV GORE-TEX Parka is a pricer option, its technical waterproof materials pretty much guarantee you will stay dry this winter – and we think that's worth the extra pennies. This long-line style has clean lines, a fold-down collar and a hidden button-front closure, ideal for both casual looks and for dressing up.

Crafted from the brand's technical StormMove™ fabric, H&M's shell jacket is great for walking trips, ski holidays and rainy city outings alike. We love the cool teal shade option, too.

A shearling coat is one style that never goes out of fashion, and is a design well worth investing in, especially on sale. Reiss has plenty of stylish coats and jackets on sale now, including this Shearling design.

Trust us, we know how hard it can be to drag yourself to the gym on those cold winter mornings. MyProtein's puffer jacket is *nearly* as cosy as your duvet, plus it has plenty of pockets so there’s room for all your gym essentials (we’re talking protein bars, earphones and resistance bands).

Looking for a winter coat you'll reach for every year – without spending a fortune? You can't go wrong with a black puffer jacket. We particularly like the chunky zip details on this River Island number.

A cotton suede shacket or bomber like this from Percival is ideal for transitional dressing, but can also be made winter appropriate when layered under a waterproof shell.

Looking to buy a luxury winter coat this season? We advise opting for a style that is both water repellent and insulated, like Shackleton's Haakon parka. This baby was designed especially for sub-zero temperatures so it's definitely worth the pricey investment.

A versatile shacket is a must-have in every man's wardrobe. Wear yours layered under oversized puffer jackets or style it solo on those (increasingly common) mile winter days.

This hooded, boxy fit jacket from Arket has plush padding that designed to keep you both warm and dry. It's also a welcome alternative to other jackets that are work appropriate, as well as weekend and every day wear.
