Looking For an Affluent-Looking, Weather-Proof Coat? This High Street Buy Ticks All the Boxes

An arctic breeze, flurries of snow and bouts of sunshine—2025 has kicked off with a demonstration of all that the British weather has to offer. Balancing looking put-together and staying prepped for anything that the skies have in store for us has been a greater challenge than my wardrobe could handle. That was until I came across a weather-proof, highly elegant and reasonably priced trench coat courtesy of John Lewis.

Over the past few months, I’ve kept a close eye on the new-in sections at John Lewis. With each new update comes an influx of classic styles with a contemporary edge that consistently has me refreshing the tab. Lucky I did, as I discovered the John Lewis Cape Trench Coat, primed for all eventualities come rain, snow or sleet, with a supremely elegant feel that had me double-checking the price tag.
