Now that the weather has well and truly turned it’s time to find yourself a signature outerwear piece that will see you through the cold snap in style. Here's our top five exceptional Moss Bros picks that combine practicality with sharp tailoring for the ultimate winter coat.

STG Regular Fit Grey Check Overcoat 

Made from 100% Moons wool with a luxurious velvet collar this coat not only looks chic but it will also keep out the cold while feeling soft and holding its sharp shape. The length of the coat and tapered shape mean it adds a refined sense of statement style to any outfit while still holding the benefit of classic design features. 

This is a truly versatile piece, it is ideal paired with a classic tailored suit yet looks just as dignified when worn over casual trousers or jeans. The grey tones will work with any colour palette from the muted to the vivid. The subtle blue element adds a touch of originality to the design while not detracting from the classic feel of the garment. It also has a number of pockets making it a practical yet stylish choice.

Moss 1851 Tailored Fit Grey POW Coat 

This single-breasted jacket style coat is fashioned from a wool blend of fabric which will keep you warm this winter. The three button fastening and tailored fit make for a very smart-looking coat that will add a sense of finesse to any outfit. The subtle check pattern adds variety and individuality, while the overall charcoal tones are easy to match and accessorise. 

This coat would look great over your suit for workwear or a sharp tailored city style, yet could easily be played down with casual chinos or jeans. There are plenty of pockets that are well-concealed so as not to alter the line of the coat.

Moss 1851 Tailored Fit Burgundy Funnel Neck Jacket 

With over 50% wool making up the fabric of this stylish jacket, it is a very comfortable and warm addition to any winter wardrobe. The funnel neck acts as a coveted design feature as well as serving to keep you warm and banish the chill of the winds. The jacket benefits from plenty of internal and external pockets, meaning there is plenty of practical value which doesn’t detract from the stylistic elements. This boxy jacket would look great teamed with skinny jeans or tapered trousers or even chinos, yet it tailored enough to be suitable over a suit for a formal occasion.

French Connection Tailored Navy Rain Mac 

If rain macs make you think of primary school trips, detectives or train-spotters then you are about to be delighted with a seriously stylish alternative to the classic mac. The French Connection mac is suave and sophisticated yet will keep you dry through the winter months. The double breasted belted style makes for a very flattering and sharp look that is emphasised by the tailored cut. The cuff epaulettes not only look great but they also prevent the rain from soaking through to the cuffs of your shirt beneath. 

This coat is very light-weight and is made from 100% cotton which falls beautifully and breathes, so you can arrive at your destination feeling cool and dry, looking stylish and ready for action. The wide lapels look fantastic but also can be lifted to keep the neck dry. The rich shade of navy blue works well with any other colour and is an interesting variation from standard black. Wallets, personal items and documents can be kept dry too in the variety of well-concealed pockets.

French Connection Tailored Fit Double Breasted Coat 

If you are after a heavy coat that will look great, is versatile enough to wear with anything and is ideal for the winter months then this coat ticks all the boxes. The double breasted tailored fit has a back vent to add to the streamlined fit and is a beautiful shape to make a real impact. 

It's an ideal choice for casualwear and more formal occasions, the navy blue tones add a timeless look which means the outerwear piece could last a few seasons. With inner and outer pockets this garment benefits from practical and stylistic features, making it a great all-rounder.
