Leather and Suede Luxe

This winter, leather and suede step beyond their biker roots to become polished, sophisticated staples. Full-length leather trenches and suede dusters in deep brown tones dominate the streets.

Cinched and Sculpted – Belted Coats

The hourglass silhouette is making a strong comeback. Belted coats emphasize the waist, creating a flattering structure that contrasts last year’s oversized fits. Whether in classic camel, navy, or textured wool, this shape brings timeless femininity and poise.

Shades and Patterns to Know

This season’s palette moves away from traditional camel to embrace charcoal grey, espresso brown, and caramel beige as the new neutrals. Subtle checks, tonal prints, and textured finishes add dimension without overwhelming the look.

This season, coats transcend mere function to become bold statements of style, craftsmanship and modern sophistication.
