Urban Outfitters' first store has just touched down in the city, and there's even more reason to celebrate now that we've seen Edith & Ella's gorgeous retro coat. This coat has a rugged woollen texture, extra deep pockets and round oversized buttons on the back for a 1960s vibe. Wear it with a houndstooth miniskirt and patent brogues for a moment.

Cos zip-up printed jacket
HK$1,047

The stylish Swedes have got their outerwear offerings down pat with symmetrical cuts and hues of cotton grey, marshmallow pink and popcorn yellow. Unfortunately, our temperatures rarely drop below five degrees Celsius, so there isn't much need for super warm threads of the Scandinavian variety, but lighter jackets in velour or silk help bridge the gap. This lightweight jacket sports a funky pixel graphic and, with a ribbed neck and practical pockets, makes a trendy windbreaker.

Here's a coat that we can only describe as a cross between aboriginal tapestry and a trench that Scarlett O'Hara might have worn. This particular cut gives the trench a fuller skirt and a simple, high-necked collar allows the print to shine through. Perfect for an attention-seeking saunter down Queen's Road Central.

It's time to grab your scrunchy and jump on that Harley because a girlier biker jacket we've yet to see. In a delectable shade of candy floss pink, this jacket means business - demure, inoffensive business, of course. It is a stylish way to amp up a chiffon dress or sedate trousers-and-shirt combo. We are particularly fond of the jutting shoulders, which give it a sense of high-fashion bravado. 's Sarah Connor would be pleased.

This one is so sleek, you could wear it with a bin liner on your head and still look good. Breaking away from flashier cuts, it's double breasted and, at 120cm, longer than your average coat. Will keep you toasty when the mercury falls.

J. Crew Noir floral bonded coat
HK$10,080

For fans of European prints, this ticks every box. The fabric was found in a print house in Como, Italy and appropriated into this unexpectedly functional and elegant coat. Although smartly structured, the overgrown quality of the print gives it a sense of lushness and complexity - the sort of design that you might find on a Monacan princess. Because of its ivory base, the coat looks lightweight, but the designers at J. Crew have made it more resilient with compact wool melton fabric from Manifattura di Carmignano, an Italian mill known for its quality woollens.
Available at J. Crew, shop 1026, IFC, Central

This coat is so to the point in style, it hardly needs an explanation. Minimalism abounds in Vince clothing, with clean details and eccentric cuts. It sits like a cape when buttoned at the neck, allowing for a cheeky glimpse of leg. This coat is best worn for short jaunts outdoors rather than anything long haul, but it's a style that will resist the changing times and will likely still be bang on trend come 2050.
