I really enjoyed this video. If I had one comment it would add the names of the coats when showing / comparing them. I found it a difficult to always follow that and had to go back to check the names/composition of the coats several times

Haven’t watched to the end yet, but personally I avoid belted overcoats because too many give me the “bathrobe” look. I prefer an overcoat which looks more formal and dresses up an outfit, and it has to look great when done up (it’s a winter piece!).

the green coat is so gorgeous on you, I'm glad you decided to keep it!! and it would definitely look amazing with dark red or burgundy accessories 💖

I like the coats from Excess Only, they’re 100% wool or wool/cashmere, fully lined with breathable rayon and button all the way up. I find this last feature is essential for keeping warm, a deep V opening in front lets in the cold wind, even with a scarf. Unlined coats are too difficult to don and doff, especially over knits or other wool clothes. I also like a fuller skirt portion, so that it doesn’t pull open when I walk. I had a mile of walking at each end of my bus commute during my career, in the winter cold and dark both ways, so a warm coat and boots were essential. It’s tough to find all these features, my Dior Coat that I wore for my whole career set these standards for me. I still wear it decades later, it looks brand-new. I choked a bit at the purchase price, but it became an incredibly good value to me because of its quality, functionality and beauty.

The green coat looks *stunning* on you, clearly suits your autumn coloration

Long coats are so stylish but I find that when in snow country or extreme weather (cold, wind, snow rain), a long puffer is a better option. I have yet seen a snowmobile rider wearing a long wool coat in Minnesota 😆

The green coat it's my favourite😍

I saw your old review of The Curated Classic Coat, so it's nice seeing a side-by-side comparison of that one to the London Coat and the Sezane Mederick coat. I love those styles!

[Lilybenet]

you rock each and every one of these! I had to stop and show my boyfriend and now we're both knee deep looking at wool coats haha. Perfectly timed, too! Just bought a powder blue karen millen coat and deliberating on keep it or not. Your insights in this video are helping me figure that out!! Thank you!!

[Mmmmartie]

I love the look of wool coats. Unfortunately it's more of a transition piece where I live. Most of the winter I just wear giant puffer coats, looking like the Michelin man 😂

I just ordered the curated classic coat during the archive sale yesterday 1/17/24. I’m really glad you mentioned that you ordered 2 sizes up because you wanted a more wrap feel whereas I want the opposite so this helps me determine what size I should get as a fellow petite. Thank you Helen!

[surbhisingla]

Amazing content as always. Pls do a similar video on jackets and blazers as well

[tracypatil]

Wow loved that so much. My fave ones on you were the Navy blue and the green one, love the colours so much!! I had a green coat for years but it got so worn out I had to part with it. You have a great selection!! I have 3 coats a Navy very similar to yours, no collar, no buttons, double faced wool with a wrap belt. Next is a Houndstooth in Navy and brown, long with shoulder pads and nice deep pockets. I never button up a coat because I always wear layers and a scarf and gloves😂 my last one is beige wool it's mostly wool, it actually looks like I'm wearing a sheep!! I love it so much, it makes me happy. I wear when it's minus figures. Rounded collar, drop shoulders and deep pockets!! This is why I follow you Helen I live for that detail!! You have a wonderful curated collection. UK is cold most of the year so the coats I have get a lot of wear. Thanks for sharing your thoughts and knowledge😘😘

I recently saw a beautiful 100% cashmere coat lined with silk, the most luxurious possible. I’m not sure I’m going to be able to resist it.

[marycosgrove]

I loved this video. All of your coats are so gorgeous and looked beautiful on you. Ty so much Helen.

[mizzle]

I’ve had my eye on that green Mederick coat for a while now- might just have to get it after your rave review 😍

wishing for a pt 2 with hm, cos, arket, massimo 😊

Love your videos. Your styles are always well thought out. Would you please do a video or 2 about scarves? I dislike polo necks so scarves are the answer to. Keep the neck warm when needed. Also, if one masters wearing scarves in our best colors worn near the face, any color can be worn on top, even our less flattering colors. This is a challenge for petites. Many scarves are too voluminous. Thanks!

[mansoor]

Helen you always makes my Sunday Special with your videos you are my inspiration and I wish you have a wonderful wonderful weekend🥺🥺♥️♥️

This video came at the perfect time! I was looking for a coat at the moment.
