Winter has arrived just as New Zealand's Wool Week finishes. If you haven't already coated-up for the season, now is the time. Personally, I am a coat girl and have an embarrassing number in my wardrobe. You can't beat a classic Maxi Coat in black, but if you have this spot filled already in your wardrobe it means you can play around with other styles.
Max has a comprehensive coat collection this season at fabulously cheap and cheerful prices. World's Fool's Gold Coat is to die for with its luxurious brocade gold shawl collar and tulip hem.
I especially love the hint of polka-dot lining. Cybele's Celsius Wrap Coat in a divine grey marl and blue stripe is one of the stand-out pieces I've seen this season.
Another of my favourites is from Shen, a fabulous trench coat which would be a timeless addition to any wardrobe. For a non-wool option, try Kowtow's Technical Parka in a stand-out ochre.
Check The Line Up below for one of the big trends this season - the cape, featuring glorious selections from Julian Danger in classic camel, a rock star-worthy option from Company of Strangers and Kate Sylvester's kooky plaid version.
