When it comes to fall and winter outerwear, the combo coat is a gift from above. While this time of year usually means trawling the net to find several coats specifically made for one or another scenario, the combination coat ushers in a new level of versatility. Uniting multiple jackets as one, from reversible options to detachable liners via insulating down and waterproof layers, the combo coat means you only need one coat for the rest of the year.

The best bit is that while you’ll be supplementing your wardrobe with more than one piece, you don’t have to pay for it. Consider it the Trojan horse of coats — masquerading as one item when it comes to first-glance style and price, but offering so much more. From adidas COLD.RDY to Burberry, here are the best combo coats for seeing out the rest of 2020 in.

Brain DeadColor Blocked Mirco Jacket
£267
Buy at Slam Jam IT

We’ve seen detachable hoods, base layers, gloves, even trousers, but detachable forearms is a new one. Brain Dead’s pastel, color-blocked Mirco Jacket pulls it off with chutzpah, though. This padded number quickly transforms into a warm indoor topper at the zip of an arm.

BurberryTartan Down Jacket
$1129
Buy at END.

It might not be Burberry’s classic check, but this tartan motif is just as eye-catching. Having walked this season’s runway for the label, the Tartan Down Jacket has been on our minds for a while thanks to its detachable hood and massive front pockets.

Levi's Type 3 Reversible Jacket

Forgoing technical, detachable layers for downright visual identity, the Levi's Type 3 Reversible Jacket comes as a two-for-one package with a very punchy, all-over zebra print to one side.

One side gives off vintage, Americana vibes with patches and exaggerated striped pockets while the other side of the visvim liner takes a much more refined tack with technical satin. Hypnotic stuff from visvim, as expected.
