As summer nears an end in the UK, the models at Talent Management have been asking the agency’s fashion gurus what style of coat will be hot this autumn/winter. So, we did a little digging, and found out from Ann-Sofie Johansson, Head of Design at H&M, what her top five coats are for the coming months. All five are elegant, playful, and sure to make a statement this autumn no matter which is your favourite…

1.  THE COLLARLESS COAT: “I love how the minimalism of this collarless design is given an extra dimension by the texture of the fabric. It’s a completely new, contemporary piece that is incredibly versatile.”

2.  THE NEW COCOON: “This coat, made of panels that give the effect of animal stripes, envelops the body. The result is so effective that it doesn’t need any other detailing.”

3.  THE STYLISH LONG COAT: “There’s so much drama in this coat, especially from the lines made from its wide lapel before the coat drapes down to touch the floor. It will make a strong statement.”

4.  THE UPDATED MEN’S COAT: “It’s amazing how a few simple changes, like shorter sleeves and drop shoulders, can transform an oversized masculine coat into a feminine piece.”

5.  THE BELTED BIKER: “Who knew a biker jacket could be so glamorous? The belted waist and gold zipper detailing turn something tough into a piece that’s totally chic.
