Dorothy Perkins are spot-on 70s retro with their faux fur coat

Warehouse bring us gothic romance with their smocked Victoriana leather jacket
I'm forever going on about 'toughening up' outfits with a good leather jacket. I'm not usually a fan of 'mixing genres' (kudos if you can name that quote!) but I think this is a look that really works, especially considering...
Jovonna's 'Gemma' fishtail trench. A namesake that's won me over!

Miss Selfridge are in the pink with a very red mac
I have a story involving a red mac. A colleague came into work wearing one once, promptly saw my teal green one and insisted we do a swap at lunchtime. When we left the office, she explained this was because she thought the...
All Saints go manly with their quirky tailored tailcoat
I'm first to admit I'm girly, and the outfits and items I choose for the site tend to veer towards the cutesy. Not so with this jacket from All Saints, which despite being the antithesis of what I usually go for, really...
Summer rainmac pick: French Connection, Lulu & Red and Louise Amstrup

Turn your jacket into a dress in seconds: ASOS's convertible mac

Boden two-tone spring coat

Lulu & Red Bryony coat
Wearing a coat needn't mean sacrificing your kooky sense of style, I hate boring coats which probably explains why I have a bulging cupboard filled with about twenty jackets, parkas and coats to cover every possible...
Primark's Red and Blue Striped Blazer
Blazers are still the ultimate way to really jazz up an outfit. It's definitely time to chuck the slouchy tracksuits (and Uggs!) and embrace the time of the fop. Dandyism rules! For those who can't afford the ever-desirable...
