I Have Proof: This Type of Coat Makes You Look Rich
Mark our words: This season, it's all about long coats. Specifically, long coats fashioned in a blazer or tuxedo-like style. While a good coat should serve many functions, its ability to elevate an outfit should undoubtedly be a top priority. Hearkening back to the days of '90s minimalism, details like slit pockets with flaps, a sharp collar, or double breast and as much length as possible are key. This style tends to be more fitted as well, a stark contrast to the more oversize, menswear-inspired coats we've seen in years past.
What's more? A maxi tuxedo or blazer coat naturally has an air of sophistication, i.e., it looks expensive regardless if it actually is or not. The column silhouette is especially flattering, too, so even if the tux route isn't your style, finding a to-the-floor option will still do you well. Keep scrolling for our top long-coat picks and rest assured that you'll be covered as far as outerwear goes all winter long.
