Women's Black Jackets & Coats
A womens black jacket goes with every outfit and hides the marks of a busy commute. Choose a black puffer jacket, a wool-blend bomber, a classic trench or a light rain shell. Lengths run from cropped at the waist to the knee.
Warm coats for winter
Puffers lead the page: Helsinki has a cream faux fur collar, Aurora is a padded bomber with a fur-edged hood, Copenhagen is boxy and cropped, and the Milan houndstooth coat reaches the knee. For real cold, Oxford has a check lining and a deep hood.
Smart wool and tailoring
The wool-blend bomber and the zip-up wool jacket look neat at work, the pea coat and stand-collar coat are short and tidy, and the belted trench brings epaulettes and a storm flap.
Black bomber jacket ideas
Wear a bomber over a hoodie with jeans at the weekend, or over a fine knit and tailored trousers in the week.

Rain jackets we trust
British weather changes by the hour, so we keep a light shell by the door. Whitby folds into a small bundle for a handbag, Coniston and Reykjavik pull over the head with a half zip, and Buxton is a soft shell that does not rustle.
A little surprise
The Serengeti rain jacket looks plain on a dry day, and a leopard pattern appears the moment it gets wet.
Styling dark outerwear
A dark coat lets colour show: a red scarf, a camel knit or white trainers lift it at once. A long black coat also looks lovely over a midi dress and boots.
Frequently asked questions: Women's Black Jackets & Coats
What should I wear with a black puffer jacket?
A black puffer goes with almost everything. For everyday, try jeans or joggers, a chunky jumper and trainers. To smarten it up, wear a cropped style such as Copenhagen or Geneva over a midi dress and boots. A bright scarf or beanie adds colour on grey days.
What can I wear with a black bomber jacket?
Our wool-blend bomber looks smart over a fine knit and tailored trousers, and casual with a hoodie, jeans and trainers. It is short at the hip, so it also sits well over a midi skirt or a knitted dress with ankle boots.
What jacket goes with a little black dress?
For an evening, a cropped faux fur jacket such as Monte Carlo or a short wool-blend pea coat looks polished. On colder days the belted trench or the Salzburg fit and flare coat covers the dress well. Keep the shoes and bag simple so the outfit stays elegant.
How do I wear a long black coat?
A coat that reaches the knee, such as the belted trench or the Milan houndstooth puffer, works best over slim trousers, jeans or a midi dress. Belt it to show the waist, add ankle or knee boots, and finish with a light scarf in grey, camel or red.
