Now that winter is here, it's time to discuss the main component of all of our outfits to come these next few months: coats. And while I love a statement coat just as much as the next person, I always try to fill my closet with outerwear staples that surpass the trend cycle, go with just about anything, and are actually warm.
That said, I'm more likely to reach for a classic camel coat or a cozy teddy on any given day, saving more sartorially daring pieces (aka busy prints, non-neutral colors, and unconventional silhouettes) for special occasions. After doing a deep dive into the internet, I was able to find the standout coats of the season among hundreds of options at all price points. Whether you're ready to invest in Toteme or The Row or want an accessible option that's still luxe-looking from Mango or COS, you've got plenty of options below.
Keep scrolling for your guide to winter's biggest essential, from draped scarf coats to sweeping wool coats to everything in between. You'll find picks at $1000, $500, $200, and even a few rare under-$100 gems mixed in. You won't be disappointed if you invest in one of the pricier options below or go for one of the budget-friendly pieces.
