40 trendy transitional coats that will make autumnal dressing a breeze

The weather just can’t seem to make its mind up lately and while we’re thrilled to see the sun back, dressing for the seasons has become all the more challenging as a result. One minute it’s grey and misty out, the next, dappled sunlight filters through the kitchen windows. Temperamental, or what?

September dressing has always been a bit of a tricky one to nail down though, no matter what part of the world you find yourself in. A month that falls just after the summer, it’s right on the cusp of autumn… and yet, it’s not so far gone that heavy winter thermals are warranted yet. 

Enter, the transitional coat. One of the best purchases you’ll make all year, it’s perfect for the awkward, in-betweenness of seasons. Light, but cosy; chic, but comfortable. You’ll never want to leave the house without a coat again.
