Investing in a new coat can feel like a mighty big undertaking, as not only is this a big purchase, but it will also act as a cornerstone of your winter wardrobe for years to come. When it comes to outerwear, timeless, simple coats have dominated the runways in recent years and make a sensible choice. Think a black or navy wool longline coat, a belted trench and a buttery, leather overcoat – styles that will seamlessly layer over any of your winter outfits.
There are thousands of coats to choose from, however to narrow down your search we have listed the brands that have a celebrity following. While Burberry’s trench coats have a long list of loyal devotees, from the Duchess of Sussex to Emma Watson, The Row is a label that has defined celebrity style in recent years, as the likes of Jennifer Lawrence and Zoë Kravitz tend to be cloaked in minimalist staples from the brand. When it comes to outerwear, The Row’s aesthetic couldn’t be more Olsen, with oversized silhouettes that graze the floor, sloped shoulders and belted robes.
While this list includes heritage heavyweights like Burberry and Bottega Veneta, an honourable mention must also go to The Frankie Shop and Toteme, brands that sit within the contemporary bracket and have spearheaded many coat trends. Katie Holmes is often spotted in New York wearing an ankle-length camel coat from The Frankie Shop named the Gaia, which has oversized shoulders and a boxy, double-breasted fit. Jennifer Lawrence, meanwhile, has been wearing a cashmere and wool wrap coat by Toteme since 2019, showing the benefits of investing in a beautifully-constructed classic coat that you can wear year after year.
Here, Vogue highlights nine coat brands that the most fashion-forward celebrities rely on.
