The latest collection from Gelco provides warmth and style for both autumn and winter, with a wide range of unusual coats, jackets and fashionable wraps. Autumnal colours and cosy fabrics feature highly, and continued adherence to the vintage theme lends extra detail to lift outerwear above the ordinary.

As autumn begins, choose a lightweight blazer or jacket that could be twinned with smart trousers or a skirt - single colours such as pale yellow or peach are a softer extension of the autumn palette and look extra-chic teamed with black, grey or a bold print, while tweed, boucl and corduroy jackets are adorned with velvet ribbons, buttons and brooches. For a less formal feel, a cardigan-style jacket in soft boucl is beautifully cosy, especially when worn with chunky knits and casual cords.

Patterns such as checks and tartans in berry red or monochrome are important, and detachable faux fur collars instantly transform jackets from indoor to outdoor items. The popularity of tweed and boucl is extended into long-line jackets or short coats, and for special occasions like a winter wedding, a stylish yet warm wrap-coat in black and white enhances rather than obscures the carefully-chosen outfit underneath.

There's no need to sacrifice style when the temperatures drop - a flying jacket in rich brown leather with a faux fur lining fits right into the retro vibe, while a waterproof zip-through coat with flattering vertical panels is perfect for holidays in the snow.
