As the proud owner (hoarder?) of many coats and jackets, I have become familiar with an endless number of coat brands over the years, but there are a select few that can be relied on time and again for their quality, design and, above all, durability. A good coat should last a lifetime, not a season. That many of my favourite coats are vintage and pre-loved, sourced from eBay and vintage stores worldwide, is only testament to that fact.

Dries Van Noten is another designer that has an affinity for expertly-crafted coats. At his final show for his eponymous brand he, like Prada, explored funnel necklines – a cut that has also been championed by Phoebe Philo, another outerwear aficionado. And during his tenure at Ferragamo, Maximilian Davis has made beautiful coats his signature.

In the mid to high price range, consider the likes of Filippa K, Toteme and Frankie Shop, and for more accessible styles, options from Cos, Arket and Uniqlo are favoured among team Vogue. Scroll on for the lowdown on the best coat brands to back this winter and beyond.

"It's strange, because, every single morning I have to decide if I am a 15-year-old girl or an old lady," Miuccia Prada told Wendell Steavenson in Vogue last year . Ms. Prada was referencing a personal dressing conundrum, but polarisation of age is something she explores in her collections, too. When talking specifically about the coats she designs, her "old lady" side came through in the Barbour-like barn jackets of spring/summer 2024, and the aforementioned tailored styles the following season, while any "15-year-old girl" would relish the youthfulness of the lettermans and fitted cropped leather jackets from autumn/winter 2024.

Any seasoned high-street shopper will attest to the quality and endurance of a Cos coat. The brand has permanent stock of timeless styles, which this season includes double-breasted wool takes, quilted jackets and puffers, some of which debuted on the runway in New York at the brand's autumn/winter 2024 show .
