"I love a coat that has a built-in accessory like these scarf coats or ones with a built-in bow—makes getting dressed that much quicker!" — Jenny Walton, Illustrator

Colorful Outerwear
"I'm really into colorful outerwear this season!! In the winter, I tend to tone down the bright colors because it's easier to get dressed in the a.m., but it bums me out, so this year I'm taking a new approach. I'm investing in one or two bright-colored outerwear that will make it easier to add color to an outfit while I'm out the door." — Michelle Li, Fashion Beauty Editor, Teen Vogue

Oversize Shearling
"I'm really into oversize, shearling coats right now. Something about the way they hang just looks so good, and I love how they're on the thinner side (compared to most fur and faux-fur options) but still so cozy." — Nicole Eshaghpour, Market Editor,Best Knockoff Luxury Clothing
Shop the trend:
Wrap Coats
"I have a newfound appreciation for minimal black wool wrap coats. It happened to be one of the only coats I kept in my closet from last winter simply because it didn't take up too much room. They're super chic (and go with everything), and despite having the rest of my bulky puffers, statement faux furs, etc., back from storage, it's the style I keep reaching for this season. Plus, I can knot a sweater over top for a little added styling that makes it feel different from day to day." — Madeline Fass, Associate Market Editor, Vogue.com

Loud Bright
"On these colder days, I find myself reaching for my Farm Rio puffer because it’s so cheery and bright. I love walking around in the sea of black jackets New York tends to become, being a splash of color. Not to mention Farm Rio plants one tree for every purchase made—so admirable and important! — Bianca Valle, Influencer Nutritionist
