Clodagh McKenna's Sézane coat makes styling winter’s heritage trend a breeze
She contrasted the cosy, neutral piece with a pair of cosy dungarees
As we head into cooler climes, colourful statement coats are everywhere. The trend signals it might be time to ditch classic black outerwear for something a little more playful, though Clodagh McKenna proved you can keep things neutral and still get bold style thanks to her beautiful Sézane coat.
She wore Sézane’s Clyde coat over Massimo Dutti’s wool blend knit turtleneck sweater and a pair of burnt orange dungarees for an appearance on This Morning last week, and finished off her look with Penelope Chilvers’ Cassidy suede cowboy boots.
The coat’s pattern in a beige and moss colourway played perfectly into the heritage look dominating autumn/winter fashion trends for 2026, with the neutral tones complementing the bolder hues in her outfit. This gloriously smart casual outfit echoed Clodagh's country-coded style beautifully, and the corduroy dungarees gave a nod to winter's favourite denim alternative.
Not only is Clodagh's coat stylish, but it is practical too, thanks to its longline fit and 'water-repellent' finish. The check pattern adds bold colour and print without compromising on timelessness.
With an ankle-length silhouette, these boots are easily worn with slimline jeans, with just enough room to tuck in hemlines. The western styling adds an instantly bohemian feel.
Massimo Dutti's latest pieces have really blown us away this season, and this cosy wool-blend knit is ideal for layering in the coming months.
As well as playing into the heritage look with its checked pattern, this coat also works as a nod to the popular scarf coat trend, ensuring your accessories match your outfit.
Combat winter's dreary weather by dressing yourself happy. Clodagh has opted for the fabric of the season: corduroy. Brightly coloured denim still carries fashion points right now.
It's not just a cushioned footbed that's hidden inside these sleek ankle boots; there's also a warm, shearling-like lining that offers extra warmth.
Brands have leaned heavily into checked prints this season, covering everything from knits to some of the best trench coats updated with plaid or herringbone patterns.
But this trend is timeless, synonymous with the autumn/winter season, meaning that whatever you buy now, especially in neutral hues, will be wearable next year too. And it’s this muted colour palette that makes Clodagh's printed coat so versatile. Whether it’s layered on over denim or worn as part of simple autumn outfit ideas, it delivers style and practicality.
Like Clodagh, you can slip a statement coat over some of the season’s more daring tones, like fire engine red or cerulean, or keep things more neutral by styling it alongside the autumn/winter brown colour trend that’s dominating autumn/winter fashion colour trends for 2026, as well as creams, khaki, black or navy.
