Whilst most people 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 releases, 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’d thought.
Like us, fashion brands have already begun dropping cooler weather pieces, and on my morning scroll of our favourite brands, 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 an expensive-looking wardrobe there are certain items that call for an investment, and I’ve always believed that a great coat is one of them. As the most used layer in your autumn and winter wardrobes, this piece is the outer shell of our outfits and therefore sets the tone for all our looks. Finding a piece that can take on this challenge often comes 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 high-end-looking pieces that come in at a high street budget, thanks to the brand’s attention to detail. For the double-face wrap coat, this can be seen in the wide collar that adds a sophisticated edge, the refinement of the wool blend composition, and the elegant wrap silhouette that looks just as put-together tied or worn loose. I’m so impressed by this coat that my mind immediately conjured up all the ways to wear it, as the neutral shade and wearable style means this is 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, as well as explore 3 ways I’ll be wearing it this autumn.
