I've been searching for a classic investment coat—these 5 from Toteme have grabbed my attention.

      At Who What Wear UK, we consistently prioritize timeless classics. Our focus is on unique pieces that seamlessly integrate function, practicality, and style with durability, ensuring they remain part of your capsule wardrobe for years, not just seasons. Few brands excel at this balance like Toteme, especially in the realm of winter coats, setting itself apart from the competition. Established in 2014 by the husband-and-wife team Elin Kling and Karl Lindman, Toteme has spent the last decade honing the craft of elevated wardrobe essentials. Over this time, the brand has been a leader in fashion and has even played a pivotal role in shaping several beloved winter coat trends. One notable example is the Draped Wool Fringe Jacket, a scarf coat that introduced contrast whipstitching into the fashion conversation, inspiring numerous high street copies. Additionally, the Signature Wool Cashmere Coat, a flowing camel-colored maxi worn by Jennifer Lawrence and other fashion icons, deserves mention.

      Jessica Skye is seen in a Toteme winter coat, specifically the Teddy Shearling Clasp Coat. To me, Toteme’s creations exemplify refined minimalism at its finest. With an emphasis on developing classic styles with a contemporary twist, it’s clear that when you encounter an impeccably dressed woman exuding quiet luxury, she’s likely in Toteme. After completing my seasonal wardrobe transition this year, I’m on the lookout for an investment-worthy winter coat, naturally making Toteme my first stop. With a vast array of styles reflecting the most sought-after coat trends for autumn/winter 2025, narrowing down my choices proved challenging. Amazingly, I found myself on London’s Mount Street this week, exploring Toteme’s latest winter coat collection. After hours of exploring everything from luxurious scarf coats to faux-fur maxis that made me feel like an honorary Olsen twin, I eventually found The One (the Annecy Coat, if you’re curious). Additionally, there were four more coats I deemed worthy of investment this season, perfect for your winter capsule. Scroll down to find the five best Toteme coats for winter 2025.

      1. **Embroidered Scarf Jacket**

       - **Style Notes:** The Embroidered Scarf Coat is likely the first one that comes to mind when considering a Toteme coat. Its distinctive whipstitch detailing—which has been widely replicated—offers a cozy cropped fit with a refined contrast. Made from a wool blend, the loose silhouette features a delicate button closure and a detachable scarf, providing versatility and practicality, making it an ideal layering item for the season—remove the scarf, and the collarless coat takes on a very different look. I tried a size 34 (UK 6), and the fit was nearly perfect. It made me appear expensive without effort (like I’d gained entry to an exclusive club) and kept me warm without overheating. Available in five neutral shades that pair nicely with the colors in your winter wardrobe.

       - **Sizes:** 30-44 (UK 2-18)

       - **Colors:** Dark Grey Mélange, Harvest, Black, Chocolate Mélange, Camel

      2. **Teddy Shearling Clasp Jacket**

       - **Style Notes:** I couldn't resist trying on the Teddy Shearling Clasp Coat before leaving the store. Released for autumn/winter 2023, this collarless shearling style features a delicate leather trim. This panku design has grown in popularity over the years, and it was this particular coat that brought the artisanal metal closures to the forefront of fashion. I wore the coat in size XS-S (UK 6 to 8) and was pleasantly surprised by how it complemented my outfit. The premium design enhanced my simple loose-jeans-and-loafers look, and its lightweight yet cozy feel made it earn the second spot on my list.

       - **Sizes:** XXS, XS-S, M-L

       - **Colors:** Off White, Jet Black

      3. **Annecy Coat**

       - **Style Notes:** I'm especially attracted to lengthy maxi coats for winter, so the recently re-released Annecy Coat was a top choice when I entered Toteme. A long camel coat is both simple and understated yet undeniably elegant. Made from soft doublé, created by hand-stitching two layers of wool-cashmere for a double-faced finish, it’s beautifully soft and lightweight. As with all Toteme coats, layering with this is effortless; its oversized, slightly undone fit allows you to comfortably wear everything from thick cashmere roll necks to thinner knits underneath. Again, I tried a size 34 (UK 6) and was completely enamored. It cascaded to my calves, achieving the perfect balance—not too long and not too cropped—transforming my basic outfit into something more sophisticated.

       - **Sizes:** 30-44 (UK 2-18)

       - **Colors:** Black, Camel, Truffle
