Bonfire Night Style: Winter Coats You’ll Love

Bonfire Night is right around the corner, and while we’re all excited for sparklers, fireworks, and toasted marshmallows, one thing’s for sure: you’ll want to be wrapped up warm while you watch the show. Whether you’re heading to a cosy garden gathering or a big fireworks display, now’s the perfect time to invest in a coat that keeps you snug and stylish.

At Shush, we believe the right coat can completely transform your look and this winter’s trends are proof that comfort doesn’t have to mean compromise. So grab your hot chocolate, pull on your boots, and let’s talk about the outerwear styles making sparks fly this season.


1. The Oversized Woollen Coat - Effortless Elegance

Nothing beats the timeless appeal of a woollen coat. This year, it’s all about oversized silhouettes - think relaxed shoulders, generous lapels, and that nonchalant “borrowed from him” feel. A neutral shade like camel, grey, or oat will go with everything from jeans and chunky knits to sleek eveningwear.

If you’re heading out for Bonfire Night, pair yours with a cosy scarf and leather gloves. It’s that perfect mix of polished and practical. We’ve spotted stunning preloved pieces from Max Mara, Joseph, and The Row that capture this trend beautifully - sustainable, chic, and built to last.


2. The Quilted Puffer - Cosy Meets Cool

We know, we know, puffers aren’t new. But they’ve had a serious glow-up this winter. Designers have elevated the humble puffer into something sculptural and statement-making. Look for cropped versions with a cinched waist or longline styles that cocoon you in warmth.

Bonfire Night is the perfect excuse to bring out your favourite puffer. Not only will it keep you toasty as you watch fireworks light up the sky, but the glossy textures and exaggerated proportions add a fashion-forward twist. Pair with chunky boots and a beanie, and you’ve nailed effortless winter cool.


3. The Return Of Real Fur - Vintage Luxury With A Conscience

Real fur is making a considered comeback - not through new production, but through the revival of beautiful preloved and vintage pieces that deserve to be cherished again. At Shush, we’re passionate about giving these timeless coats a second life. Each one tells a story - of craftsmanship, glamour, and decades of enduring style.

This season, real fur is all about vintage opulence with a modern twist. Think classic mink jackets, fox-trimmed collars, or full-length statement coats that make any outfit feel instantly elevated. And when the temperature drops, there’s simply nothing warmer.

For Bonfire Night, there’s nothing quite like wrapping yourself in a luxurious vintage fur while the cold air nips at your cheeks and the fire crackles nearby. It’s old-school glamour - toasting marshmallows under the stars, glass of mulled wine in hand, feeling warm, elegant, and effortlessly chic.

Shopping preloved fur isn’t just about luxury; it’s about sustainability. These heirloom-quality pieces already exist and by choosing vintage, you’re celebrating the beauty of reuse while owning something truly unique. Look out for iconic labels like Fendi, Dior, and Yves Saint Laurent in our collection, each piece authenticated, preserved, and ready for its next chapter.

4. The Belted Wrap Coat - The Hug You Can Wear

Sometimes you just want a coat that feels like a blanket, and the belted wrap coat delivers exactly that. Picture soft brushed fabrics, robe-like silhouettes, and tie belts that define your waist without feeling restrictive.

It’s the perfect option for those evenings when you’re sat around the firepit, marshmallow stick in hand, surrounded by good friends and laughter. A deep chocolate or winter white wrap coat adds instant sophistication to any outfit and looks just as good with jeans or wide-leg trousers and trainers.

 


5. The Statement Trench - Timeless With A Twist

The trench coat isn’t just for spring showers - this season, it’s getting a winter update. Think heavier fabrics, shearling collars, and oversized belts. A statement trench is ideal for layering on chillier evenings when you still want that structured, tailored look.

For Bonfire Night, layer your trench over a chunky roll-neck and add knee-high boots for an effortlessly put-together outfit that still says “I came to play with sparklers.”


6. The Shearling Revival - Retro Warmth

Shearling jackets are having a major moment again - from cropped aviator styles to longline shearling-trimmed coats. They strike that perfect balance between cosy and cool, with a nod to the ‘70s.

They’re perfect for the outdoors - a bit of countryside chic meets city style. If you’re heading to a fireworks display, shearling will keep you warm without looking bulky. Pair with denim, ankle boots, and a hot chocolate for good measure.

 


Bonfire Night Style Tips From Team Shush

  • Layer Up Smartly: Thin thermals or a fine-knit polo neck under your favourite jumper means warmth without bulk.
