Stormwear Puffa Black Coat, £79, Marks & Spencer

This simple but stylish puffa coat has the added benefit of a hood - no need for a scarf; it'll look as cool over your joggers and chunky trainers as it would a cute chuck-on dress and heeled boots. 

Black wool coat, £205, & Other Stories

For something smarter, a wool coat will stand you in good stead – we love the classic peacoat fit of this design.

Black teddy coat, £195, Ugg

A textured coat is a fun alternative to a wool finish, and a teddy coat is the most jolly of them all. Made from the softest sherpa with fleece lined pockets, this longer version will keep you warm from top to bottom. 

Black parka coat, £290, The North Face

Parkas have been tarred with the casual brush, but there are some ultra-cool options that are smart enough to wear to the office too – like this The North Face coat. 

Leather black coat, £119.99, Mango

You cannot beat a classic black leather jacket for all weathers and occasions - and Mango's is the ideal mix of timeless but trendy too. 

Phase Eight quilted black coat, £120, John Lewis

The quilted coat is the puffer coat's lighter, breezier sister - and big news for 2022 still. Phase Eight's quilted jacket can be dressed up or down, and has a subtle polka dot design.

Belted black coat, £39.99, H&M

A belted black coat is perfect for cinching in the waist, whatever you’re wearing underneath. Go for this H&M version for a super chic, wear time and time again look.

Toteme draped fringed wool coat, £690, NET-A-PORTER

This Toteme coat is so popular, it sells out as soon as it hits the shelves - and it's going to be big for AW22 too, so snap one up before it's gone.

Aviator black coat, £199, Whistles

Although technically a jacket, an aviator is one of the warmest around, thanks to its layers of leather and lined with faux fur or borg. 

Best black coat under £50

This affordable New Look coat ticks all the boxes and more - it's a classic buy that'll see you through the season and beyond.
