As the weather gets chillier and you have to cover up a carefully curated outfit with a coat, make sure it’s one that makes a fitting statement upon first impression. This Prada piece will tick your boxes.

This season Miuccia’s mosaic theme included coats and trouser-suits emblazoned with matching crystal embellishment. But if the kaleidoscope of rainbow colours in print and pattern was too much for you, take inspiration from Prada’s treasure-chest of embellishment. Black is always the new black and sure enough its’ luxe glamour is hard to beat. But adding a pinioned collar was a dazzling reminder of just how important those finishing touches are in releasing the fantasy within fashion. It does everything that a coat should: neutral enough to compliment any look without overbearing it, yet theatrical and distinctive enough to whisper to the world that you know your sartorial stuff.
