Winter is just around the corner, which means by now, the shops have lined their windows with sumptuous coats just begging you to bundle them up and take them home. But purchasing a coat isn’t an impulse buy, a coat is often an investment item you’ll want to last, and not just end up in a charity bin as soon as the mercury rises.
This season, instead of looking to the trends we’re stealing the style from the women with the most classic wardrobes, Duchess Catherine and soon-to-be royal Meghan Markle. Every time they step out Meghan and Kate’s garments make headlines – for all the right reasons.
We’ve found affordable winter coats identical to the ones in Meghan and Kate’s wardrobes for you to shop then wear time and time again.
