Here at Who What Wear, we love talking about the latest and greatest fashion trends. However, today I'm not talking about fleeting looks that might decline in popularity any second. I'm not making a case for what to wear merely this season—I'm handpicking the coats you can easily wear for the next 10 winters without worrying about them going out of style.
That's right: I believe these coat trends will stand the test of time and still be relevant in a decade. How's that for a solid investment? Scroll down to shop my favorite fall coat trends that will score you major ROI, along with styling ideas for each.
1. Military-Inspired Coats
So chic.
Hurry: This one is currently 50% off.
Sofia Coppola co-designed this coat, so I obviously need to have it.
Barbour is the go-to coat brand for British royals.
Mackage is known for its high-quality coats.
2. Shearling-Trim Coats
This cozy suede coat is calling my name.
This would look great styled with a pair of brown suede boots.
This one's selling out quickly.
In case you're ready to splurge on a luxe version.
3. Plaid Coats
Yep, this is about as classic as it gets.
Brunello Cucinelli is the gold standard when it comes to tailoring.
This coat looks considerably more expensive than it really is.
A fantastic option if you're ready to invest in a designer piece.
4. Leopard-Print Coats
Long live leopard print.
Simply stunning.
This one's technically a jacket, not a coat, but you don't mind, right?
5. Black Puffer Coats
A puffer jacket is the ultimate practical choice.
This will last you for decades to come.
Another great option from H&M.
