The selection of the correct autumnal overcoat for many can become a genuine trial, as it will serve as the foremost component of their attire for the ensuing months. During this quest, some favor tried-and-tested classic designs, while others are keen to experiment and distinguish themselves from the rest. I, for one, adore lengthy coats that nearly touch the ground – they entice you to ensconce yourself within, lift the collar, and venture out for a stroll in your beloved park. In my hunt for the quintessential coat, which I intend to don across numerous seasons, I scrutinized the fresh collections from global and Ukrainian fashion houses and spotlighted the principal tendencies of the period.

Chocolate color
Chocolate hues have traditionally acted as an alternative to the staples of the autumn-winter period – black and gray. Brown is demure, yet gentler, complementing both warm and cold shades, such as pink or blue. However, more and more frequently, brands are rendering it the solitary focal point of ensembles that require no accompaniment. Amongst my top picks are the Stella McCartney and CICI COCO coats.

In retro style
The instantly recognizable aesthetics of the 1960s are once again prominent – first, short, audacious dresses with a quintessential trapezoidal form returned to the forefront of fashion, succeeded by equally stunning coats – either abbreviated or in delicate pastel tones. Should you already possess timeless pieces in your collection, it’s opportune to sample something novel and revitalizing from the latest autumnal ranges by Tory Burch or INLYLAND.

With a scarf
A coat complemented by a shawl is a prominent trend for the autumn-winter 2025/26 season. By virtue of the cape, the coat presents as even more refined and regal, as well as affording enhanced safeguarding against sharp gusts. Within the fresh assortment, Calvin Klein showcases a coat boasting a dual scarf, whilst SARNA exhibits a subtler interpretation of this inclination, interspersed with hints of 1980s charm.
