A well-stocked capsule wardrobe is a girl's best friend, and the statement coat is one key piece no fashionista should do without. The secret to the perfect cover up is for it to be stylish but not so on-trend it dates between seasons. If chosen wisely, this piece will last you for years to come so spend as much as you can afford (the Statement Coat is the January Sale shopper's Holy Grail). Check out Vanessa Paradis's chic Chanel classic and Angelina's effortless Escada coat, both which will last from autumn to spring year after year. Eva Mendes's grey wool frock coat is paparazzi ready yet practical and Jessica Alba's black felt number with military styling is the perfect winter topper for jeans or a LBD.
