This weekend the August bank holiday signals that we are nearly at the end of the summer and about to move into the cooler autumn. Now is a great time to start planning ahead for the autumn and winter and choosing a winter coat to keep you toasty warm. Here is our pick of the key winter coat trends for the season ahead.

The Military Coat

The trend for military inspired clothes goes on into to the winter with smart and structured winter coats with military featured including double breasted, brass buttons, epaulettes and belts. This long black military coat at Roman Originals is a great version of this trend with full lining and a really flattering shape.

Fur trim

Fur trim on a winter coat not only looks incredibly stylish but is also really warm. Faux fur was seen all over the catwalks for autumn and winter most notably at Chanel where models were dressed in plenty of faux fur for artic conditions.This brown padded coat with faux fur hood from Roman Originals is a  good version of the on trend parka coat which is practical and perfect for casual wear.

Animal Print Coat

Animal print is such a huge trend at the moment and a coat is a great way to make a real fashion statement. The grey, black and white colours are really versatile and go with most outfits. This black animal print coat with velvet trim from Roman Originals  is a really stylish way to wear animal prints. It is perfect for daytime or the evening and is even smart enough to wear to work.

Statement Coat

Whilst some people prefer a really neutral coat that goes with everything, others prefer a great statement coat that can be thrown on over any outfit for an amazing look. Bright colours, bold patterns, interesting shapes and textures are all great ways to make  a statement with your coat. This fully lined shoulder detail long sleeved coat by Roman Originals is really eye catching with its deep rich colours, patchwork effect and chalk effect design. It would look great with coloured tights for the daytime or worn over a little black dress for the evening.

Neutral Coat

Neutral coloured coats are set to huge for autumn winter 2010. With the camel coat being tipped as a must have by all of the fashion editors, it looks like everyone is going  neutral. A neutral coloured coat not only works really well with the seasons minimalist trend but it is also incredibly versatile and goes with most outfits. We love this high collared front buttoned long ash coat by Roman Originals.

Padded Coats

Padded coats never really go out of fashion because they are just so amazingly practical. They are really warm and usually waterproof too. This year with fashion going artic, there are bound to plenty of versions on this old favourite. Our favourite is this silver quilt coat with pockets and a detachable hood ideal for almost any casual outing.
