Take 5: The season’s best coats

Keep your style-game strong this upcoming chilly season with our top five winter coats, sourced from sustainable Australian brands.

1. Denim jacket, KowTow

This “Painter jacket” by KowTow for $289 is an eye-catching statement piece that will stand the test of time. If you invest in high-quality denim, you’ll reap the rewards as it’s arguably the most durable fabric out there. And cobalt blue is the new black, so win-win.

2. Coat, Jillian Boustred

Jillian Boustred’s “Arctic coat” for $499 can take you from breakfast to boardroom to bar — it’s that versatile. The timeless investment piece comes in three colourways: grey, pictured, for those after a classic staple, beige for the minimalists and camel for those with a warm-toned wardrobe.

3. Raincoat, Gorman

A rainy day may put you in a mood, but this Gorman raincoat will certainly lift it. The printed garment, which retails for $99, is more eclectic than your average mundane raincoat, great for those partial to a left-of-centre purchase.

4. Blazer, Ginger & Smart

A fitted blazer is a must-have for any corporate wardrobe and it will simply never go out of fashion. Ginger & Smart’s “Edition #3” blazer in tobacco brown is a modern take on the signature classic, on sale for $329.

5. Puffer, Venroy

If you’re sick of wearing black but don’t want to venture into bold colours, this one is perfect for you. Ideal for those early-morning winter walks, this practical-yet-stylish puffer retails for $320 from Venroy.
