9PR: Jackets and coats for winter 2024 9PR

Winter is arguably the most exciting time for fashion – the layers! The outfit combinations! The hats! And at the pinnacle of winter fashion is the jacket. Or the coat. The outerwear, if you will, that seals up the cardigans and long sleeves and keeps us all from feeling the chill.

Without putting too much pressure on things, outerwear can make or break your outfit. But don't worry, we'd never leave you on your own to pick the right one.

To help make your winter shopping easier, we've rounded up the best jackets and styles for 2024, helping you stay warm and on-trend until the sun comes out again.

NOTE: Prices are accurate at the time of publishing.

The leather jacket

While leather jackets will always be on trend, 2024 is seeing the return of a more simple, '90s-style leather jacket with a high collar. Forego those heavy belts and superfluous zippers for a more simple, boxy look, as shown on the Bershka Faux Leather Dad Fit Jacket. This Leather Bomber from Aere fits the bill too with big pockets adding an extra layer of interest. We also rate the Astri Cropped Leather Look Jacket from Minima Esenciales and its tidy buttons.

The bomber jacket

A staple of modern dressing, the bomber jacket style is as versatile as the occasion. You can get the look in more casual styles, like this Crop Utility Bomber Jacket from Insight, to pair with jeans. Or you can go a little more refined with something like this wool structured bomber from Witchery, paired with a tapered pant or skirt. This vintage-look Deniro Bomber from Academy Label is perfect for layering.

Either way you go, you'll be hitting the right style notes.

The trench coat

The classic trench silhouette is as timeless as you can get in fashion. With origins dating back over 200 years, it's about as sure of a fashion purchase you can make. And despite its long, long history, the trench never ceases to bore us. This is because there are so many variations on the classic that crop up year after year.

The Marly Trench from The Fated, for instance, has a stronger shoulder, giving us a lot more 'coat' than 'trench'. The Recycled Tech Trench Coat from Aim'n delivers a more classic interpretation but is impressively made of, you guessed it, completely recycled materials. And the Organic Cotton Clean Line Tortoise Button Down Trench Coat says goodbye to the belt and brings in a rounded collar for a modern twist.

The quilted jacket

A trend blown in on the winds of quiet luxury, the quilted jacket gives a nice throw-over option in between the puffer and the bomber. We love the edgier iteration of the Skyler Liner by workwear brand Carhartt and the Quilted Femme Jacket by Aim'n (that collar is chef's kiss). AERE's Reversible Sherpa option is fun too – I'd never say no to some versatility in a piece of clothing.

The wool coat

Another timeless staple of winter fashion, you can always rely on a good wool (or wool blend) coat to level up your winter fits. While purchasing a wool coat will sting a little at first, the cost-per-wear over the many years of use will make it more than worth the upfront cost.

In saying that, the staple status of this coat makes it even more important to get the buy right. Opt for more classic silhouettes and colours, like the Lover Brando Wool Blend Coat or the bul Waring Coat. If you're not ready to make the jump, the AERE Wool Blend Lapel Collar Walnut Marle Longline Coat offers a much more accessible price point (and is now 30 per cent off to boot).

The denim jacket

Much like the leather jacket, the denim jacket has seen a reboot of late. No longer the just the classic structured style (though, I'd argue that's always in, don't worry) , denim jackets are more like 'shackets' these days, i.e., shirt jackets. The Levi's Nola Shacket is a good example of this done well, giving a warm and casual finish to an outfit. The Denim Chore Jacket by Ceres Life delivers a more utilitarian look that we love too. As does the Calli Oversized Shacket in the darker denim.
