The Best Winter Coats According to Your Style Philosophy
Whether you’re a maximalist, minimalist or love to find the latest It thing, Liberty’s guide to the best winter coats has just the coat for you
By: Team LibertyOne of the silver linings of winter’s shorter days and colder mornings is the fashion. Luscious knitwear, fierce tailoring and of course, weather-defying outerwear. If you’ve been itching to don this season’s best silhouette to be your companion through whatever the weather brings, now’s your chance. But before you go ahead on your quest for a new woollen overcoat or weather-defying trench, ensure you invest in the right one (or two) by asking yourself this: what is my style philosophy? Whether you’re a maximalist after all things avant-garde or consider yourself a minimalist who gravitates towards modern simplicity – the coat you invest is should reflect your distinct style personality, and fit in with the current contents of your wardrobe. With an edit of standout styles for every fashion follower, let your coat search start (and end) at Liberty…
The Maximalist
Is your wardrobe awash with vibrant colours and patterns? When putting together an outfit, do you believe bolder really is better? If that’s a yes on both counts then firstly, consider yourself a maximalist and secondly, make space in your closet for a coat that embodies a 'more-is-more' mantra. Think: clashing prints, vivid colour schemes and tactile textures.

The Minimalist
Minimalists sit on the opposite side of the sartorial spectrum, so consider your ultimate coat to be subtle and slick, all while playing with silhouette, texture and neutral shades. Timeless trenches and belted overcoats are unequivocally your style, and what's more, these purposefully pared-back staples can be worn anytime and with virtually anything.

The Sartorialist
There’s no better (or a more chic) shortcut to sophistication than tailoring. Despite directional suiting and sleek shirting dominating womenswear trends in recent years, tailoring never goes out of style. If you never feel as confident as when you’ve got on a sharp shoulder or a sleek trouser, opt for a longline double-breasted coat, structural blazer or an outfit-elevating peacoat.
Shop NowThe Retroist
If you’re drawn to old-school fashion, be it Nineties nostalgia, the opulence of 70s glamour or dresses with all the frills and flounce from bygone centuries, ensure your next outerwear investment offers plenty of retro charm. Our recommendations? A faux fur coat, flight jacket or tweed blazer will keep you chic and cosy this season.

The Street Styler
If your inspiration comes from avid people-watching (or enthusiastic scrolling), your finishing layer needs to be as on-the-pulse as you are. Drawn to oversized silhouettes, utilitarian details and the cult-favourite brands of the moment, if you’re about all things streetwear, relaxed denim jackets, quilted bombers and puffer jackets will all pique your interest.
