If you're looking for a cool coat alternative, then wrap yourself up in a large blanket-style scarf or poncho—styled over and around you—which is pretty much the sartorial equivalent of a warm hug. And who doesn't want that?!

Swap your classic trench coat for one with a unique twist this season. We're seeing all kinds of cool iterations this fall from off-the-shoulder, longer silhouettes to the addition of different fabrics and fun details such as bows and unique belts.

From charcoal to heather—gray hues are having a major moment this season—and you certainly can't go wrong when it comes to choosing the versatile color for your coat. We recommend wearing it as part of a head-to-toe gray tonal look.

Quilted Coats

I personally love a classic quilted coat—especially one that comes in a sumptuous shiny fabric. Belt it at the waist to create a flattering hourglass look.

Shop:

Windbreakers

While it's still not too chilly out, we highly suggest opting for a cool windbreaker. This season's come in a variety of retro colors. Pair the sporty jacket with contrasting feminine skirts or dresses—a look we saw all over the runways.
