It's no secret that ownership of a classic camel trench coat is practically an unwritten rule amongst Londoners. From early spring through to late autumn, you're bound to encounter at least one or two every time you step outside. But whilst they'll fair a drizzly day with more elegance than a raincoat or a bomber jacket, when you're up against gales and an unrelenting chill, Londoners are forced to retire them in favour of something a little hardier.
Luckily, we've found the perfect replacement. Some may swap between a cosy puffer coat in the winter months and a lightweight trench in the summer, but I prefer to stick out the winter in my all-time favourite coat style by reaching for a wool trench every time. Conveying the same effortlessly cool vibe as its cotton sister, wool trench coats are the cold-wearger solution that will help you master chic London style.
Affirmed as a staple in the capital, high-street and designer brands alike have all stepped up to craft their versions. From classic double-breasted cuts to simple wrap styles and single-breasted fastenings, there's a wool trench coat out there to suit your style.
