Nothing says autumn quite like velvet, and this velvet coat from White Stuff is being hailed by shoppers as the perfect layering piece for the cooler weather. Available in a range of colours from navy to dusty pink, plum to classic black, it might be just what buyers are looking for as we enter the new season.
The Karla Velvet Coat costs £140 from White Stuff and features a funnel neckline, button closure and a velvet touch. It’s made from 98% organic cotton with a 100% polyester lining, and is available across the colour spectrum from sizes 6 to 24.
With a classic cut, it’s smart enough for the office but can be dressed down for the weekend by wearing it open over the top of a T-shirt and jeans. Plus, it’s described as being really cosy, and shoppers love the buttons with contrasting stitching as an extra touch.
If shoppers like the funnel neck design but aren’t so keen on the velvet, they could instead take a look at the Mink Funnel Neck Button Front Jacket from New Look. At £45.99, this short jacket comes in a versatile neutral tone and could make a perfect autumn staple.
Alternatively, there’s the Damson Madder Camille Trench Coat for £125 from Anthropologie. It comes in a classic brown and channels a timeless autumn aesthetic with a loose cut that’s great for layering.
However, those who’ve taken the plunge seem to be loving the White Stuff coat. One buyer said in a review: « I absolutely love this coat! I’m under 5 feet and the coat is a petite size 8. The colour and fit are perfect for me and I can’t wait to wear it out in cooler weather. »
Another added: « Absolutely love this jacket. The material is beautiful. I bought the mustard jacket and have had lovely comments. »
A third shopper said: « Love the colour and style of this new coat. The buttons with contrasting stitching is a lovely touch. »
However, some found it wasn’t for them. One buyer said: « Not fitted – very straight up and down and too short, colour very green rather than mustard. »
Another wrote: « Lovely coat just too big – loved the fabric and colour as wanted to get away from black but sadly too big and no size available to downsize to. »
The Karla Velvet Coat is available at White Stuff.
