It’s time to retire your black outerwear – colourful statement coats are everywhere, these 9 fabulous picks are worth shopping
Dress yourself happy in these colourful styles and banish winter blues
This season, we are seeing the rise in joyfully coloured outerwear, which should encourage us all to ditch our classic black coat. From pastel pink trenches to sky blue suede, there is quite the array on the high-street.
What's great about investing in a statement coat is that it quite literally can become a whole outfit. Whilst maximalist dressing might sound scary, vibrant outerwear is suprisingly easy to embrace; just keep the rest of your outfit simple with tonal layers. Going to a farmers market on the weekend, or meeting a friend for a walk and a coffee? Simply throw on a cosy coat in a vibrant shade or playful print, add boots, and you are good to go!
The autumn/winter fashion colour trends 2026 predict several bright hues worth adding to our cold-weather wardrobes, including pastel pink, cerulean blues and tomato red. However, not only should you integrate these shades into your looks through small accessories or cosy knits, but outerwear is equally stylish.
I tried on this beautiful coat in person, and it's every bit as impressive as it looks. The bright sky-blue colour and abstract print make it so eye-catching. It's cut in a longline shape for maximum coverage and has sharp shoulders for added structure. Style with jeans and your best white trainers.
The cosiest coat to pair with denim, this burgundy and pink design is a standout choice. It features a playful deer print – something we're seeing much more of this season and soft faux fur cuffs and collar. The vibrant shade will add some joy to your winter wardrobe.
Colourful yet also understated, this blue wool-blend coat offers a refreshing alternative to your favourite navy jacket. The added scarf detail adds interest to this design and makes it feel extremely premium.
Moss green is another key colour trend that we've seen crop up over the past year, and this faux-leather coat offers the ultimate way to wear it. I actually own this design and have been living in it since its arrival. It's suprisingly versatile and pairs perfectly with wintry neutrals like chocolate brown, navy and charcoal grey.
This statement piece comes in a bright sky blue and features a dark corduroy collar, and it's made from 100% real suede for a soft, durable finish. Layer over cosy knitwear, shirts, blouses or simple tees.
Layer up with this bright red trench that taps into one of this season's biggest colour trends. Tomato red has been everywhere this year, bringing a bold, energetic feel to our wardrobes, and this classic trench makes the vibrant shade easy to wear.
If you are ready to embrace this season's maximalist outerwear trend, this faux fur coat is a brilliant place to start. The striking leopard print is full of personality and unexpected pop of colour on the sleeves makes this coat feel extra special.
Sitting somewhere between vibrant yellow and zesty green, chartreuse offers a playful alternative to the usual black or grey outerwear. The wool blend gives it that cosy, cold-weather appeal. Simply layering over your best cashmere jumper and you are good to go.
Pastel pinks are in for autumn/winter 2026, and this playful coat offers the perfect way to embrace this colour trend. The classic trench silhouette gives the bold colour a more sophisticated feel, whilst the longline cut makes it an elegant choice for cold days.
As temperatures drop, it's all too easy to reach for a trusted black, grey or navy coat, but your outerwear doesn't have to be soley practical. Colour, print and texture are all worth considering when shopping for a new winter layer, whether that means a vibrant red trench, a leopard print coat or a sky blue suede jacket. A statement coat can breathe new life into your smart-casual outfits, making simple formulas feel exciting and new again.
