Ask any fashion editor and they'll tell you that a navy pea coat is a faultless investment. This season, the style is luxuriously re-worked by Valentino, combining Italian craftsmanship and an attention to tailored proportions. The wool and alpaca-blend makes for a soft touch and the gold-tone buttons with nautical anchor motifs are a handsome flourish. Try turning the collars up for an elegant finish. Shown here with a Gucci shirt, Valentino trousers and Alexander McQueen shoes.
