Michelle Keegan's coats on Fool Me Once were the real heroes—here's where to buy them
Let's be honest, Fool Me Once is the binge-watch that saved us all from the back-to-work blues. The Netflix show follows Maya Stern (played by Michelle Keegan), an ex-solider with a dark secret, wo tries to solve the murder of her beloved husband and sister.
Twist after twist kept me on the edge of my seat throughout (I won't ruin this with any spoilers for those who haven't yet watched the show), as did Maya's outfit choices. Because murder doesn't mean you should stop making an effort with your appearance clearly.
No army fatigues here, instead a mix of tailored workwear staples such as blazers and suit trousers, as well as elevated basics such as jeans and trainers. I must particularly highlight the selection of chic coats and jackets Michelle had on rotation throughout the show.
Obviously, as the widow of the heir to a million-pound fortune, Maya had to dress the part, favouring timeless pieces from well-known designer labels. And after a bit of sleuthing of my own, I've found where you can buy them, plus some more affordable alternatives.
1. The black shearling jacket
A personal favourite of mine, the black shearling jacket Maya wore throughout the show, including watching her niece play football (and to give her coach a piece of her mind). The aviator jacket is by cult label Toteme, and comes in tan as well as black.
2. The grey coat
One of the few non-designer items worn during the show is this spectacular light grey coat by Karen Millen. It's still available in a few sizes in this colourway, though there are more sizes left in the red version. Plus the coat is in the sale, so it's a no brainer.
3. The quilted jacket
Everyone needs a quilted bomber jacket in their wardrobe and Maya knows it. Hers is leather and by Whistles, though it sadly sold out pretty quickly after dropping in the sale. However it might be restocked after its popularity, you never know, so keep your eyes peeled. In the meantime, here are some similar styles.
4. The herringbone coat
Worn during one of the many heated exchanged with her mother-in-law (played by Joanna Lumley), you'll have to dig deep for this chic herringbone coat, as it's by Dolce & Gabbana and will set you back £2,550. That said, I've found some alternatives for you.
5. The black coat
In a pretty pivotal scene in the show (no spoilers, promise), Maya dons a gorgeous tailored black coat, paired with a white high neck top and leather gloves, the same one she wore to her husband's funeral. It's by Holland Cooper, features delicate gold buttons and is still available in all sizes.
