When I pulled my not-sure-how-many-seasons-ago coat from storage to discover fading and discoloration, I knew it was time for an upgrade.

With two trusty trenches already hanging in my wardrobe (one black, one neutral), I craved something bolder.

The answer? Embracing colour in this season's most popular silohuette: the oversized maxi coat.

Watch: Leigh Campbell styles Annaliese. Post continues below.

These dramatic, ankle-grazing styles are dominating winter fashion. As for colour, while chocolate brown is dethroning black as 2025's new neutral, it's the 'it colour' rich burgundy that I wanted to add to my closet.

Then I found it. One look, and I knew I needed her in my winter wardrobe. (Plus this holy grail of coats also comes in black, cream, and pale oat). She is just that thoughtful and versatile. It's the Belle & Bloom Ex-Boyfriend Maxi Coat, $299.95.

But I've also found a tonne of other gorgeous options to suit every style and body shape.
