A good winter coat does more work than anything else in your wardrobe. It is the first thing people see from October to March, and it has to cope with cold commutes, wet weekends and the odd party. Joe Browns, the British fashion brand known for colourful, characterful clothing, has a women’s coat range for AW26 that covers all of those moments, from plush velvet and faux fur trims to practical wax and tweed.
This guide compares seven of the new-season styles, explains what each fabric is like to live with and helps you choose the right coat for the way you actually spend your winter.

For the Coldest Days: Faux Fur Lined and Trimmed
If warmth is the priority, start with the Winter Boho Fur Lined Embroidered Coat. Joe Browns lines it in faux fur and adds embroidery and plush trims, so it feels cosy from the inside while still looking like a statement from the outside. It is a long style, which helps keep your legs warm on frosty mornings, and it works well over jeans and boots or a long knitted dress.
For something with more drama, the Statement Jacquard Faux Fur Trim Coat comes in a rich emerald jacquard with black faux fur at the collar, cuffs and hem. The brand describes it as the embodiment of cosy chic, and it can turn a simple black top and trousers into a party outfit. Shop faux fur trim coats.
For Occasions: Velvet
Velvet is the fabric of the festive season, and the Hallie Faux Fur Trim Long Velvet Coat is the dressiest coat in this round-up. It is made from cotton velvet in a deep blue, with faux fur trims and a long length that Joe Browns suggests layering over a maxi dress and heels. If you have weddings, Christmas parties or theatre trips in the diary, this is the one to look at.
Velvet does mark if it gets crushed or soaked, so keep it for drier evenings and hang it on a wide hanger at home. It is dry clean only, like most of the coats here.

For Everyday Smart: Moleskin and Tweed
Moleskin is a dense, brushed cotton with a soft, almost suede-like surface. The Helena Military Long Moleskin Coat uses it in a long, military-inspired cut with a rich wintry colour, which makes it smart enough for work but easy to wear with jeans at the weekend.
Tweed is the classic choice for British winters. The Berry Dreams Long Tweed Coat blends polyester with wool and a little acrylic and polyamide, and comes in a berry shade that the brand pitches for frosty commutes, wintry walks and nights out alike. Wool content adds warmth, and tweed’s textured weave hides everyday wear well. Explore tweed and moleskin coats.
For Wet Weekends: The Belted Wax Jacket
Not every winter day calls for a long coat. The Remarkable Belted Wax Jacket is shorter, has a wax effect finish and a cord collar, and the belt gives it a more tailored shape than a typical country jacket. It is also the only coat in this list that can go in the washing machine on a 30 degree cycle, which makes it the easiest to look after. At 95 pounds, it is also one of the two lowest priced styles here.
It works with jeans and boots for dog walks, or over a dress for a more polished look. Shop the Remarkable Belted Wax Jacket range.
For Vintage Style: The Polly Long Coat
The Polly Long Coat is the most vintage-inspired style in the range. It comes in a rich green with large buttons, puff shoulders, a neat collar and an A-line hem, which gives it a flattering, fitted-then-flared silhouette. Joe Browns suggests wearing it with denim and boots or a dress and heels, and at 95 pounds it is one of the more affordable long coats in the collection.
How to Choose the Right Coat
- Think about where you will wear it most: commuting, school runs, walks or evenings out.
- Choose a long length if you walk a lot in cold weather, and a shorter jacket if you drive or cycle.
- Check the care label. Most of these coats are dry clean only, while the wax jacket can be machine washed.
- Size up if you plan to wear chunky knitwear underneath.
- Pick a colour that works with the shoes and bags you already wear in winter.
