Faux furs have improved so much over the last decade, with the most beautiful textures. Make an impact in this beautiful coat from our new brand Blümlein & Lang – a German company with an Italian task force of fashion masters focused on animal-free fabrics, furs and leathers.

New season, new coat

If you buy just one new item this season, make it a power coat. Here, Visual Impact’s Becca Charlo suggests either opting for classic tailoring or wool to stand the test of time, or making a statement with something a little more outwardly audacious.

Men’s suit, GANT

While wearing a suit is no longer a requirement for most, statement suits are here to stay. From pin-collared and pinstriped to relaxed and unstructured, Winter 2020 tailoring is – quite simply – whatever you want it to be.
