Sorry to My Black Coats, But This Ultra-Luxe Color Is All I Care About for Winter
I'm here to remind you, once again, that my heart wants nothing but espresso-colored outerwear this season. I know this isn't breaking news, for we've been hot on the brown trend for a moment now, and as we move from fall into winter proper, we can confirm this rich neutral is proving to be so much more than just a buzzy hue.
The magic of deep brown winter coats is that they're somehow a little less formal than black yet at the same time manage to make an outfit look so utterly elevated. They're as effortless teamed with denim and other neutrals as they are paired with on-trend leopard print jeans or burgundy knits. From long wool coats to vegan leather, faux-fur to puffer styles, here are 31 incredibly chic brown coats and jackets to wear on repeat this winter.
Every off-duty '90s movie star approves of this look.
Unsure if I'm more excited about the suede finish or the shearling collar.
Proof that a brown coat is perfect with black leather pants.
Any color that can make a puffer jacket look this chic, sign me up.
A great collar, but it's that imperfect shearling trim detail that gets me.
