When a new season arrives, there are a handful of high street finds that will define the months ahead. Blink, and you’ll miss them, with a track record of selling out in record time, only to find their way onto our wishlists for the rest of the year (praying for a restock). These are the key pieces to shop now, all available at Karen Millen.

1. The cool trench

When the weather turns, I’m always reaching for my trench coat. Until now, the cropped style hasn’t convinced me, but the statement collar and lapel on this one has converted me.

2. The everyday hero

Last season, I lived in a black version of this coat, so I know this will be incredible for cost per wear – to the office, smart dinners, and beyond.

3. Your new favourite

This furry style is so incredibly soft, and feels very designer-esque thanks to the asymmetrical front and turnlock detailing.

4. The leather jacket

Chocolate brown leather is here to stay for autumn/winter ’26, and it doesn’t get better than this trench-coat inspired iteration for the off-duty wardrobe.

5. The country walk essential

I have been missing a cool but warm coat for post Sunday roast walks, but this one is incredible. It’s lightlweight, soft, and great for layering, with the cinched belt adding a bit of shape.
