28 Coats Our Editors Love at Every Budget
There are a lot of amazing coats out there on the market. Whether you're perusing retailers like Nordstrom or hitting up brands like Vince, there are many silhouettes that are the cream of the outerwear crop. Well, I'm here to bring you an edit of the specific silhouettes that speak to me most right now and that I think you'll adore.
Below, you'll uncover the styles that I'm recommending over others this season. As you'll see, the cuts run the gamut. There's everything from gorgeous longline wool silhouettes to functional and fashionable puffers that can instantly upgrade any outfit.
Keep scrolling to check out the editor-approved coats I have my eye on, starting at $70.
Under $250
Our editors are loving Barbour and work jackets as of late, and this longer version is right up my alley.
This is such a classic that'll outlast any trend in your wardrobe, guranteed.
Fashion favors the bold—this leopard-print alternative is also a great choice.
If you can't tell already, my go-to retailer for affordable coats is H&M.
Under $500
I spotted this coat in the wild while in Paris, and I can confirm it looks just as good IRL as it looks online.
Helsa's take on the viral scarf coat might be one of my favorites on the market, and given the number of WWW editors who have it in their closet, it's telling.
While fur jackets tend to cost a fortune and are a worthwhile lifetime investment, you can snag this high-quality faux version from Zara on a budget.
Under $1000
Our editors have been buzzing over Mango's premium offerings for most of 2024, and this leather coat makes the list.
If you haven't noticed yet, animal-print coats are all over my wish list this season.
Okay, this one is technically $100 over, but let's be real. It's too good to leave out.
Loulou Studio always makes the best outerwear in my book.
Another appearance by the viral Helsa scarf coat our editors love.
