Me & Em Coats & Jackets

We appreciate a good fashion manifesto, and ME+EM coats are founded on a particularly solid philosophy. It's what the brand calls its "three Fs" – functionality, a flattering fit, and the sense you'll want to wear something forever. If a garment fails on any count, it's left on the drawing board. You can take it as given, then, that all these pieces will deliver years of sartorial enjoyment.

Though it's a youngish brand, established in 2009, ME+EM has already woven its style signatures into the fabric of British fashion. Browse our curated selection and you'll spot a few for yourself. Hints of classic tailoring, for instance, and ever-tasteful embellishments. ME+EM's designer women's blazers are constructed in traditional tweed but decorated with a handful of gilded buttons. You'll see oversized options too, which keep things simple with pure-business patterning. As for leather jackets, expect them to look almost antique in their elegance, sporting as they do metallic hardware set against shiny brown-gold.

Time to choose an outfit to suit. Many ME+EM jackets and coats would be right at home in the office, paired with black trousers or a plain knee-length skirt. Others, like its leathers, work well with summer dresses or colour-matched shorts. Most can switch from smart to casual in a heartbeat.
