Women’s overcoats for the colder months
A women’s overcoat is the smartest way to stay warm, with a long line that covers the knees and a tailored shape that works over suits and dresses. Compare options from many UK retailers on this page and buy from the one you like. A womens black overcoat is the easiest to wear daily, and grey, camel and navy give you a few alternatives. Look at the wool content, the lining and whether the collar can be turned up.
Long overcoat women’s styles and fits
Length and cut change the mood completely. A long overcoat women’s style looks elegant and gives more protection, while a shorter cut is easier on the move. Sizes matter too, and plus size women’s overcoats should offer enough room across the bust and arms without losing shape. To compare with the other cut, browse men’s overcoats, which are generally straighter, and check sleeve length and shoulder width when you try something on.
Overcoat for women in winter
Winter calls for warmth, so look for dense wool, wool and cashmere blends, or a warm lining. An overcoat for women’s winter wear should also close securely, with a button front, a wrap belt or a hidden zip. If you shop for younger family members, kids’ overcoats follow the same traditional shape in smaller sizes. A storm collar or wide lapel adds weather protection, and deep pockets are always a practical bonus when the temperature drops.
Looking after your women’s overcoat
An overcoat is an investment, so treat it carefully. Brush it regularly with a soft clothes brush, hang it on a broad hanger and keep it in a breathable cover between seasons. Avoid overstuffing the pockets, which pulls the line out of shape. If you spot a stain, blot gently rather than rubbing. Professional cleaning once a year is usually enough, and moth protection such as cedar blocks helps keep wool coats in good condition for the next winter.
