Stay snuggled and stylish this winter with the ultimate in feathery chic, the down jacket. Once just a cold weather essential, women's down coats have sauntered onto the catwalk amidst a wave of high fashion glamour, and they're the perfect statement staple this season.

High fashion inspiration - women's down coats

Women's down coats first enjoyed their revival amidst the recent trendsetters' love for streetwear. Their casual but cool style is the perfect accessory to the nonchalant urban image we've been loving lately. Wear your women's down coat over mom jeans and a crop top when the warm weather is fading for cross season style points. Or team it with a hoodie and fitted tracksuit bottoms to bridge the smart casual gap in autumn/winter. Bring the look into high fashion territory and dress it up with evening wear. Wear your ladies' down coat over a sequin skirt, a cropped tee and a pair of high heels and you'll be setting trends with the best of them.

Conquer the outdoors in women's down coats

Whether you're the queen of the outdoors or just jetting off on a winter break, women's down coats are a must-have essential. Get that chic après-ski style by wearing yours with black leggings, a patterned knit jumper and a woolly bobble hat, and don't forget to accessorise with faux fur to give the look a luxurious edge. Look to sporty layers underneath your women's down coat to stay warm and dry if you're active outdoors. Thermal tops and fleece jackets are perfect for winter walks and outdoor adventures, but don't forget your hiking boots for a fashionable yet functional finish.
