Beat the winter chill in style this season with a teddy coat. The ultra-cosy winter cover-up will make those frosty temps that much more bearable thanks to its snuggly borg texture and often oversized silhouette.
We’re still devotees of the much-loved puffer coat for when it decides to rain cats and dogs and the sophisticated wool coat for a smarter look, but for the cuddliest coat form, you can’t beat the teddy coat. More polished than a puffer, yet more fun than a wool coat, its fuzzy texture adds an immediate fashion-forward feel to any outfit. Even if you’re throwing it on over your sweats for the morning school run or when you’re dashing out to run errands, the cosy outerwear brings bags of style without compromising the most important thing – comfort. For off-duty dressing wear with a chic pair of ankle boots, your favourite jeans and a classic striped jumper for an easy ensemble that wins every time.
Luckily the high street has answered our fashion prayers and has offered up an array of borg beauties in various colours and lengths to suit every mood and fancy. Get ready to bundle up, as we’ve found the very best teddy coats, so you can be snuggly warm even on the coldest of days. Shop below for cosiness at its finest.

Bomber jackets were big news for 2023 and they're not going anywhere for 2024 either. Whilst it's still chilly outside, a borg style bomber is your answer. This chic Mango creation has got a mega discount at the moment, we predict it won't be in stock for long.

When the trusty trench coat meets the cosy teddy coat, the result is a trend-ticking masterpiece. Use the waist tie belt not only to keep the outerwear securely fastened and the winter chill at bay but to also create a flattering waist-enhancing silhouette.

This cropped jacket style is super chic. The taupe colour is bang on trend, while the contrast piping and drop shoulders make it look way more expensive than it actually is. Even better, if you're a H&M member it's only £43.99.

For a sporty more laidback twist on the teddy coat, this grey jacket from ASOS fits the bill perfectly. The zip-up design features a snuggly loose cut, but we recommend sizing up one for an extra oversized fit.
That's a wrap on our round-up of the best teddy coats on the high street. If you’re still on the fence about the borg outerwear, there’s one celebrity who swears by it as her winter coat of choice. Model Emily Ratajkowski is often spotted donning her grey Mango teddy coat.
She routinely pairs with full-length jeans and trainers for laidback style at its best. But also wears her teddy coat over joggers and an oversized t-shirt when on Mum duty looking after two-year-old son, Sylvester Apollo Bear. If it has Emily Ratajkowski's approval, it certainly has ours.
