Britain is poised for a cold snap, so beat the chill by bundling up in a padded piece of outerwear. Giant jackets are back in vogue, largely down to Demna Gvasalia’s supersized iterations for Balenciaga, as modelled (or swaddled) below. The brand’s larger-than-life designs led to possibly the best meme Instagram account of 2018: @itsmaysmemes.

We wouldn’t suggest going quite that big if you’re facing a London commute, but we’re all for volume this season. Ultra-warm highlights include a new collaboration between Amanda Wakeley and TROY; a new collection between parka pioneer Canada Goose and Savile Row tailor Henry Poole; rainbow-striped, pillowy pieces by Perfect Moment and retro prints from Moncler. This season, fur is faux (hurrah!); hoods are huge and the styling options are endless.
