We Can All Agree Coats Are the Best Part of Winter, and These 8 Styles Prove It
At this point in the year, we know which coat styles are going to dominate the winter season. I'm seeing some rollovers from last year: Shackets and leather blazers are as present and oversize as ever, surprising absolutely no one. I'm definitely going to update those classics in my wardrobe, but I also have my eyes on some completely new looks, too. Trench coats in leather are at the top of my wish list. There are endless sherpa and fleece options to create all the soft teddy vibes I need to get through cold winter days. And last but not least, puffers and quilted jackets abound in too many hues and lengths to choose from. I shopped the best of each style and included them for you below, so get scrolling.
I'm not afraid to say this is the best shacket I've ever laid my eyes on since the trend came on the scene.
One cannot get through the winter without some sherpa in their wardrobe, especially if they've looked at any recent fashion forecasts.
I love the slightly tailored look of this blazer without it being too fitted. Plus, those double-breasted buttons are so cute.
This teddy-bear coat will look so good from your jogger and leggings athleisure looks all the way to your festive holiday frocks.
Puffers may be trending this season, but this jacket will never go out of style.
This is a coat I know I'll reach for on the daily—for cozy moments indoors and casual days outside in the cold.
Aralyn Beaumont joined Who What Wear as the copy editor for branded content after a career in food media. Years of poring over intricate recipes with a fine-tooth comb and working with high-profile chefs has prepared her well for working with fashion's top brands while honoring Who What Wear's voice. Her background as a research editor makes her a finicky editor who will probably care too much about making sure all copy is as factually accurate and aligned with the house style guide as can be. Maybe it's because she's a Gemini, but her personal style is impossible to pin down: One day you'll see her in a turtleneck sweater tucked into a midi skirt with heeled boots, and the next, she'll be wearing mom jeans, a white Hanes tee, and classic Vans. At the end of the day, her style reflects her various moods. Sometimes it will be feminine and elegant, and others it will be grungy or androgynous. Certain things will always remain constant, though. She'll forever be on the hunt for the perfect pair of high-waisted jeans.
