Winter is definitely here and you may well be thinking of getting a new coat or two. One worth looking at is this new addition at Peacocks. It's a double breasted 60s-style collarless coat. While that may seem impractical at this time of year, you can couple it up with your favourite scarf and not worry about it fighting for space around your neck.
The recent seventies influence on the high street's fashion shows no signs of stopping, with strong retro designs across womenswear ranges. This Belted Midi Coat from ASOS is one of the best we've seen, with a relaxed chic that looks worth twice the price tag.
Much of the high street's retro outerwear opts for a more formal, tailored look. If you're looking for something a little more casual, however, there's no shortage of vintage inspiration to be found. This Cromwell Striped Pea Coat from Urban Outfitters has all the sixties appeal of full length coats, while remaining casual enough to pair with your everyday wardrobe.
When it comes to Winterwear, year after year the high street opts for retro influence to create lasting style in coats and jackets. This Taped Dolly Coat from Dorothy Perkins is a perfectly stylish example, using a sixties influence to create an everyday coat with great style.
As often happens in fashion, the least practical items are usually the most appealing. Thankfully with high street prices you can forgive yourself the indulgence, especially with pieces as irresistably retro as this Rebecca Box Coat from Monsoon.
When investing a lot of money in outerwear, finding the balance between something that makes a statement, and something you can wear over again can be tricky. Opting for a classic and understated design, this Red Riding Hood Coat from Hearts & Hands pulls that balance off with ease.
