I like to keep things simple and try to make getting dressed easy. I find that the best pieces are ones you can rewear year after year, and work with a variety of outfits. Enter, a great coat. A great coat has the ability to effortlessly elevate any look, and stand the test of time, in terms of both durability and the ever-changing landscape of fashion. So, here are some great coats for this season and the rest of your life.
Black Wool Coats
Classic. Can’t go wrong. A long black coat will always make me think of winter in New York, and is the easiest way to look chic without trying. I love the look of a double breasted, slightly more structured silhouette, but there’s just something I find so comforting and wearable about a belted coat.
Puffer Coats
A black puffer can feel… well, like a black puffer. Profound, I know. It’s functional and serves a purpose (I wear mine regularly in Chicago, so no shade), but if you’re looking for something slightly more stand out with the same level of functionality, a white coat is an easy swap. I also love the utilitarian feel of this one, and if you’re really looking for something to set you apart, this is the perfect combination of glossy and burgundy.
Sweater Coats
I have put my sweater coat to workkk over the years. It’s the ultimate cozy layering option for when you’re running around and just want to feel comfortable. Lauren Manoogian and Lisa Yang make some of my favorite styles in the most luxurious knits.
Statement Coats
For when you want your coat to be the outfit. I can’t stress enough how far a statement coat can take you. An ivory or bold leather can bring some much needed energy to your look during the colder months.
This might just be my favorite coat in here, which is saying a lot. It’s screaming “I’ll be in your closet forever and passed down for generations”. And that’s it. That’s the outfit.
Brown & Grey
Not sure how many times I can keep typing the word coat, but here are some of my favorite brown and grey coats to round things out. The charcoal grey Khaite is currently #1 on my list. Let me know what’s topping yours!!
Would love to know where the red coat in your pic is from!
Does anyone know who makes the sweater coat she is wearing in mirror selfie? Love the how it has the belt!!
