The concept of a "good coat" can be a nebulous one, but if there's a style we'd instantly reach for in times of need (read: black tie occasions in less than balmy temperatures) it's the Varina style from Stella McCartney. A classic double breasted silhouette crafted from pure, ethically sourced wool, it's topped with padded shoulders and a waist cinching tie belt, while the satin lapels add formality without turning stuffy.
