Whilst most are holding on to the last of the summer sunshine, we editors are always looking ahead to the new season. From deciphering the runway trends to staying on top of new-in pieces, we’re here to ensure that your wardrobe is prepared for the seasonal switchover when it comes. And from looking at the current weather, we may be dipping into our autumn wardrobes sooner than we thought.
Like us, brands have already begun dropping some cooler-weather pieces, and on my morning scroll of some of our favourites, I came across the most expensive-looking coat that I honestly mistook for a designer piece. All I have to say is well done, Arket.
The Arket Double-Face Wrap Coat (£189)

When it comes to building a refined wardrobe, certain items call for investment, and I’ve always believed that a great coat is one of them. As the key layer in our autumn/winter wardrobes, this piece is the outer shell of our outfits and sets the tone for all our looks. I thought that finding a coat that could take on this challenge would always come with a hefty price tag, taking into account design details and quality, but Arket’s autumn 2024 collection has already proved me wrong.
Arket has a track record of offering high-end-looking pieces on a (premium) high-street budget thanks to the brand’s attention to detail, and when it comes to my new favourite coat, this is very much the case. The Double-Face Wrap Coat (£189) has a wide collar that adds a sophisticated edge with a refined wool-blend composition and elegant wrap silhouette that looks just as put-together tied or worn loose.
I’m so impressed by this coat that I immediately started conjuring up all the ways I can wear it, as the neutral shade and wearable style make for a piece that will support your day, work and night looks seamlessly. And I can prove it.
Below, you can shop the seriously expensive-looking Arket coat and explore the three ways I’ll be wearing it this autumn.
