The Duchess of Edinburgh has plenty of sleek, tailored coats in her collection but when the temperatures really plummet there’s a much more casual style she reaches for instead. She recently travelled to Méribel in France and met athletes across all three services and disciplines in her role as patron of the UK Armed Forces Winter Sports Association charity.
This called for her cosiest coat and Duchess Sophie wore a black hooded puffer as she gave an inspiring speech to over 300 attendees. We might be excited to get back wearing trench coats and jackets again, but the February weather has other ideas and a puffer is such a useful piece to have in your winter capsule wardrobe.
