A long lined puffer coat is the one investment piece you need this winter, says Jane Moore

WINTER coats can be a costly purchase so you want one that’s going to last.

This stylish puffer coat is long lined so will keep your legs nice and warm.

When the weather is a little milder you can slip it over a blouse for a quick dash to the shops, otherwise it’s roomy enough to fit a thick jumper underneath for colder days.

While it may be on the higher end of the high street at £149, I always find I get years of wear out of my coats and see them as investment pieces.

Plus, this particular coat is made from recycled polyester, which is a great option if you’re looking to be more sustainable in 2022.

If you’re after something more affordable, New Look has a similarly stylish coat for just £56.99.

Puffers come back in style time and time again – worth bearing in mind when splurging on a new coat.

I’m keeping this look simple with a bright chunky knit to add some colour (and brighten up the January blues), a pair of skinny jeans and some practical yet on-trend boots that are perfect for a winter walk.

This coat also comes with a hood, handy for those rainy dog walks.

TIP: Look out for the practicalities of a winter coat such as big pockets and a hood
