Burberry reversible gabardine and tartan wool car coat
Keep your look fresh with this flattering car coat that can be styled in a number of ways. The double-sided garment features a plain cotton gabardine backed with a monochromatic tartan wool reverse. Go classic by keeping the cotton to the exterior, turning the collar and cuffs up to introduce a discreet flash of pattern, or flip the coat entirely for a more daring effect.

Turnbull & Asser Brown Hopton wool check coat
While providing the warmth needed for bitingly cold winters, wool is not always the most waterproof of materials. Enter Turnbull & Asser's Hopton coat, incorporating material specially formulated to tackle the worst of the British weather. Its special hydrophobic finish creates an invisible layer that repels water, meaning that you can just shake the rain off once you've found shelter – a feature that handily extends to other liquids, giving the garment general anti-stain properties.
Available in store, £1,250; turnbullandasser.co.uk
Cerruti black selvedge denim trench coat

Available in store, £2,000; cerruti.com
