I Just Tried The Whistles Coats That Are Sure To Sell Out First

It feels as though as soon as September arrived so too did autumn. After months of bare arms and light layers, we’ve been plunged into the cooler days, almost overnight, and our wardrobes called out for us to shift our summer wares for autumn icons. In response, I immediately looked to my coats and jackets that were last seen in late spring and concluded I was ready for something new to celebrate the months of cold weather on the horizon. With longevity in mind, high quality a must and sleek style a prerequisite, I naturally turned to Whistles.

As I like to go the extra mile in supporting our readers through their shopping journey, I hit the shops to add extra guidance on fit, size and texture. And after one stroll around my local shop it was clear that Whistles’ autumn collection is set to be a strong one. There’s a plethora of cosy knits, a concise edit of sleek tailoring and a footwear collection to rival designer styles. But with coats top of my shopping list, I quickly honed in on 3 elevated styles that offer both a fashion edge and timeless design in equal measure.

The trifecta of coats covers three iconic styles; the leather jacket, the trench coat, the wool coat. These three styles return every year, ready to bring an elegant finish as the outermost layer of our autumn and winter ensembles. With temperatures steadily dropping, let’s get straight into it. For reference, I’m 5’2″ and usually wear a size 8/small.

Style Notes: Whilst I could go on and on about the timeless nature of a trench coat, or how versatile it is pairing with day looks as well as elevated evening ensembles, I have to talk about how soft this coat is. Made from a viscose and polyester mix, the fabric is incredibly soft to the touch, making it also extremely comfortable and drape in such a good way. Here I’m wearing the size 6 as the coat is oversized, which is a size down from my usual size, but with knits underneath my regular size will be perfect. The beige shade is my personal favourite for its nod to the classics, but Whistles knows that we all have different preferences, offering this trench in black and khaki too. Even though I’m 5’2″ I love the look of the length on me, but if you prefer a shorter style, both the beige and khaki colourways come in petite versions too.
