Purple Coats: The Best Plum, Aubergine and Violet Coats

A purple coat is any coat in the purple family, from deep plum and aubergine to bright violet, and this winter it is the colour that stands out most in our designer coats edit. The Nour Hammour Isadora in Plum leads: a full length lambskin shearling robe coat with a sweeping Toscana collar and a self tie belt.

Below are the purple coats we would wear now, how to choose the right shade, and a comparison drawn from each house’s own product information.

Which purple suits you

Plum and aubergine are the easiest: dark enough to wear like a neutral over black and brown. Fig and mulberry lean warm and sit well with camel and cream. Violet and lilac are the brightest and work best with grey and white.

How the purple coats compare

How we compared: the material is the wording each house uses on its own product page; the size range is read from the live Coveti listing on 6 November 2026. No prices, because they change by market.

The Isadora in Plum in detail

How we compared: every cell is copied from the Nour Hammour product page (composition, size and fit, care) on 6 November 2026. Where the house publishes nothing, the cell says so; we do not estimate.

The coat is made in XS to XL. Nour Hammour suggests sizing down for a closer fit. It also comes in Mink Grey for anyone who prefers a neutral.

How to wear a purple coat

The simplest route is purple over black: a black knit, a slim black trouser and a polished boot let the colour carry the outfit. Burgundy, chocolate and grey sit well beside plum, so a brown long leather skirt is an easy pairing. Keep accessories quiet and let the coat be the one colour.
