Balmain Women's Coats & Jackets

If you're hoping to up the ante on your outerwear, there's no finer place to begin your search than Balmain's collection of women's coats. Embodying the label's love of the dramatic, these styles deftly combine functionality with form for pieces you'll wear all year round.

When the dress code is on the formal side, double-breasted blazers are a womenswear stalwart – luckily, they're also a Balmain speciality. Jackets with sharp shoulder pads create a silhouette worthy of the 1980s, with cinched-in waists that give an hourglass shape. Choose hues like black and navy for optimum versatility and look for gleaming hardware to add visual interest. Ready to make a sartorial statement? Oversized collars are sure to spark conversation, their sculptural folds adding plenty of drama to your ensemble.

On days when the forecast is looking particularly chilly, a padded Balmain jacket will help you wrap up warm. Skiwear-inspired shell bombers are both lightweight and insulating – a winning combination. Opt for high-neck models to protect your throat and keep an eye out for ribbed cuffs that will stop cool air from sneaking in. As far as appearances are concerned, monogrammed designs are ever so indulgent and will stand out from the crowd, whether you're on the slopes or a winter's walk in the park.
