We've fallen in love with Trinny Woodall's chic tweed coat, with the longline tailored style making it the perfect autumn jacket to wear day-to-day for an elevated look.
Finding the perfect flattering winter coat can be a challenge. There are so many styles on the market and finding a staple that can easily transition from day to night, and from casual to formal, is a struggle.
But we've found the perfect inspiration in Trinny Woodall, who just wore a beautiful longline checked tweed coat with a flattering pair of denim jeans and a plain white T-shirt.
We love her £1,700 Checked Tweed Coat from ACNE STUDIOS, but it's constantly sold out and is also on the pricier side. But, luckily, there are a variety of similar and more affordable styles out there on the market.

Made from a heavy and luxe blend of recycled polyester and wool, this longline double breasted coat from Nobody's Child features a stunning multicoloured check that will bring a wearable pop of colour into your autumn wardrobe.

Emulating the checked tweed look with a neutral toned classic check pattern, this coat from John Lewis has a timeless feel thanks to its collared neckline and high quality fabric. We love the contemporary touch brought in by the side pockets, shorter length and bolder print. Plus, the tie belt creates a super flattering silhouette.
Available in both a brown and grey check pattern, this wool-blend coat from H&M is a great neutral jacket to throw on with a variety of looks throughout winter.

Boasting sharp tailoring with crisp and clean lines, this double breasted coat from John Lewis is super chic. Made from 50% wool with a longer-length hem, the material is durable and warm as well as luxe. The front pocket details add a nice touch to the silhouette, with shoppers raving about the 'great' autumnal colour.
Trinny kept her look casual, letting her coat shine as a statement piece. Leaning into a laid-back though chic look, she wore a pair of flattering mid-rise, wide leg jeans in a light indigo denim, creating a simple and crisp base with the addition of a plain white T-shirt.
She finished off the look with a comfortable and stylish pair of white trainers, with minimal jewellery accessorising the outfit.
The coat worked brilliantly with the casual-chic look and the brilliance of the elevated style is that it works equally week with more formal outfits too.
For a festive party or evening dinner, pair the piece with a trendy trouser suit or satin midi dress, keeping the styles free of pattern to let the checked texture stand out. Finish your outfit with a daring pair of knee high boots and a classic updo hairstyle.
