The funny thing about this story is that up until I moved to New York from my native Los Angeles seven years ago, I don't think I actually owned a coat. Jackets, yes (ranging from light to less light), but somehow I got by for most of my life without a single piece of outerwear suited for real fall and winter weather. But, oh, how things have changed…
Now, I'm practically a collector of coats—99% of which are black. From everyday styles to evening-ready pieces, ranging from ultra-classic to on-trend and affordable to expensive, I've seen and bought them all. I wear one every single day for five months out of the year, so it's safe to say that I know a thing or two about the category. Have I sold you on my expertise yet? Great, let's dive in. Below you'll find the best black coats of the season, according to me. From H&M to The Row, I've got something for every budget and style, so you can rest assured there's no need to look anywhere else. Keep scrolling to see what made the cut.
