Men of London,
it's time to invest in a new coat. Karen Dacre tracks down the styles
guaranteed to appeal to even the most reluctant male shopper
The colourful choice
While
it's not every man who will jump at the chance to dress in salmon, this
pure wool coat from Reiss is among the hottest styles around this
winter. Bright enough to make something of a statement without turning
too many heads in the office, it's a confident choice that works
wonderfully with shades of grey and black.
The Pea Coat
Once
favoured by US and European sailors who appreciated its warm and hugely
practical appeal, the pea coat — characterised by broad lapels and a
double-breasted front and vertical pockets — is a favourite among
London's coat-buying fraternity. Perfectly smart without trying too
hard, the allure of this style is that it works with everything and on
everyone. All men should have one in their wardrobes.
The Old School (but still cool) Duffel
It might look like a duffel coat,Superb range of cheap canada goose jackets

for Women,Men and Kids from Canada Goose Jackets. but if you can't see
the word “Gloverall” on the label it's probably not worth the time. With
more than 60 years' experience — Gloves and Overalls was founded in
1951 — there's certainly no brand better qualified to keep you warm this
winter. Now available in a host of colours and shapes, the classic
Gloverall remains the only option for anyone looking for a coat to last a
lifetime. Team with brogues.
The Perfect Parka
Forget
everything Liam Gallagher taught you about parkas. This season, the once
“mad for it” overcoat is sharper and slicker than ever. Hell, even the
French have endorsed it. Available in Sandro's first menswear store on
UK soil, this shorter, slightly more tailored breed of parka looks great
on a host of body shapes. And it's deliciously warm too.
The Manorak
From
Harlesden to Hackney, manoraks are all the rage with London's under-25s
this winter. A continuation of the trend for the fisherman's jacket
which picked up pace on the high street during the summer months, this
is an informal jacket style for boys who are happy to brave the cold in
the name of fashion. A great option for Lycra-fearing cyclists, the
perfect manorak offers movement and comfort in a way no woollen coat
ever will. French brands are masters in this field — try APC for anoraks
in kaleidoscope shades. Back on British soil, this patch-pocket style
by Lazy Oaf wins our vote.Women's womens canada goose jackets on sale

The Cut-the-Crap Crombie
While women are notoriously promiscuous when it comes to coat shopping — one season it's shearling,Max Altitude compares the moncler down coats
to The North Face. the next it's a belted trench — London's menfolk tend to find what suits and then stick to it.The Canada Goose Heli-Arctic Parka
has a removable hood and is a slim, modern fit which makes it ideal for
city streets or Arctic tundra. This impeccably cut Crombie-inspired
style (left) is the perfect choice for a man who is indifferent to
changing trends. In short, it will never go out of style. Wear it with
jeans and a jumper, or layer it over a suit.
