There is absolutely no doubt about it - the teddy coat is officially a timeless winter trend. Striking the perfect blend of stylish and snuggly, a teddy coat is a must-have in any wardrobe – and it will be a saviour in the cold weather we're having here in the UK (and in the US).
The fluffy, fuzzy, “I-am-essentially-wearing-a-blanket-in-public” outerwear is the perfect coat to reach for now that the temperature is at 'brrr' status.
What I love about the teddy coat is that it's surprisingly flattering, and it makes even a thrown-together outfit look intentional. If you’ve ever wondered whether you really need one (spoiler: probably), here’s your guide to embracing the warmest trend in your wardrobe

Ok, this is an easy one. Think of the texture of your childhood teddy bear - it's soft and plush and makes you want to cuddle it - now imagine that as a coat. That’s the vibe.
Most teddy coats are made from faux shearling or fuzzy pile fabric, giving them that signature snuggly look without the weight of a traditional wool coat. They’re warm, lightweight, and often come oversized… which is perfect for layering or for disappearing into on a gloomy morning commute to the office.
Whether you're looking for a comfortable staple piece to throw on with jeans or a chic style that can be worn with dresses for a night out, you'll be glad you invested in a teddy coat in 2025.
