Winter’s bitter cold always has a way of sneaking up on us so coats are definitely on many people’s minds. Chic outerwear is the hero of our cold-weather wardrobes and it can take a simple outfit from zero to 100 in an instant. So what are the styles that we should add to our rotation this season? Puffer jackets in different textures, coats with fabrics like fur and shearling come into play, and more.
When shopping for outerwear, style is important, but it is equally important to focus on warmth and utility needs. Without these practical details, that chic coat you saw straight from the runways may not get as much wear as you would hope. A good coat must check all the boxes such as pockets to put on the gloves, a high collar when you don’t have a scarf to keep the neck protected, and more. Although it may seem like a challenge to find one that does it all without compromising style, you don’t have to worry because ahead are some of the new winter coat collections to suit every sartorial taste and budget. Do not let the single-digit temperatures sneak up on you and get one or more of these coats so that you can brave the cold. Keep scrolling ahead for the biggest coat trends that will dominate this winter.
Maxi Coats
Maxi hemlines are having a major moment this season and this is a trend that has been dominating dresses, skirts, and now coats too. Go for a long, wool-tailored coat that will definitely make any outfit look expensive.
Plaids
Whether you are at home or going to the mountain for a holiday, there is a reason why plaid is fashionable every winter. The checked print is uber cozy and it is like a warm mug of hot cocoa and a fleecy blanket. Whether you are going for a preppy look or businesswear, a timeless wool in plaids will keep you toasty and stylish.
Robe Coats
You have probably seen this one trend every time you scroll through your social media feeds. It is the robe coats that are seen in long plush faux-fur fabrics that add a dose of drama and elegance to any look. If you want a coat that is cozy and striking, the robe coat is the perfect option.
Coat With Built In Scarf
One outerwear trend that many fashion people are fully embracing this cold-weather season is scarf-style coats. You have probably seen the iconic Toteme coat on almost every fashion It girl. The silhouette does not get more effortlessly elegant than this. There are of course many less expensive options being sold at your favorite retailers. Just keep an eye on them.
Leather Jackets
Leather jackets of all varieties are trending this season, but the style to embrace this season is the longline coat silhouette that will keep you warm and sleek in this frigid weather. Did we mention maxi is trending?
Quilted Coats
When the temp dip, we all need our quilted coats and puffers to keep us toasty this winter. Duvet dressing was all over the runways and padded coats in maxi and cropped silhouettes are having their moments now. These coats feature elevated details such as extra-large collars, built-in scarves, and belts.
