10 plaid coats to help you nail autumn layering like a pro

A favourite with celebrities – think J Lo, Gigi Hadid, Gwen Stefani – plaid will never *not* be cool.


10 plaid coats to help you nail autumn layering like a pro

Buying a jacket that will see you through the autumn months is no easy feat. From pattern to silhouette to price point; there’s a lot to contend with, and it’s often tough to find one that ticks all the boxes. However, with many shoppers trying to be more intentional with their purchases, it’s important not to just impulse-buy the first one you see in the shop window.

For autumn, you can’t go wrong with a good plaid coat. Not only are they extremely wearable, they’re also great for layering and can be styled to suit just about any type of dress code, so you can guarantee you’ll get #30wears out it. Below are some of our current favourites.
