Who says that winter has to be constrained to black, camel and white? From powder blue to soft green, we round up the top five colourful winter coats and the accessories to pair with them.
Pink and burgundy
Brighten up grey weather with a pop of pastel. This REDValentino Scallop Edge Coat stands out from the crowd with a soft pink shade. Delightfully sweet without being overtly cute, it’s detailed with a Peter Pan collar and a scalloped hem for a charming feel. Dial up the look and carry Paradise Row’s Love Crossbody with Face bag. Its burgundy shade tones down the pastel pink coat, making it fitting for the cold season.

Orange and black florals
Instead of a traditional red coat, opt for a striking orange iteration this season, as seen with PS Paul Smith’s Double Breasted Coat. Charming with a bright colourway, it updates a timeless style with modern touches and pairs perfectly with Paul Smith’s Modern Floral Scarf, which offsets the coat with an abstract take on flowers.

Black, gold and grey
Take summery florals into winter with Mother of Pearl’s Double Breasted 4 Button Long Coat, which is flourished with gold and black brocade for a refined, sophisticated finish. Wear it over a long buttoned dress, and carry J&M Davidson Shoulder Belt Bag, which brings out the deep tones of the coat with a light grey shade.

Powder blue and multi-colours
Marella’s Eschimo Single Button Coat comes in a powder blue shade and takes a lighter tone into the cooler season with a classic, tailored silhouette. Pair the coat with Missoni’s Classic Fine Knit Zig Zag Scarf, which is knitted with shades of pink, peach and royal blue. Wear it long or wrap it tightly around your neck to create an interesting contrast with the coat’s structured shape.
