This week at the ELLE office, we have turned our fashion focus to snapping up the essential autumn/winter investment buy the winter coat. From the designer collections to the high street, we've scoured the shops to find you the cream of the crop of this season's winter coats, so whether you want to channel the English heritage trend in plaid or tweed, go for a bold colour option in tomato red or bright blue, or opt for military chic complete with epaulettes, this selection will ensure you are stylish and warm this autumn. Get clicking now, because when the north wind doth blow, we predict there will be few of this selection left on the racks
