If you're anything like me, you've probably been putting off coat shopping for the last few weeks in the hopes that winter—and in turn, cold weather—would never actually arrive. Unfortunately, that was only a pipe dream, and winter is, in fact, almost here. So before the first day of true coat weather catches us all off guard, I decided to get to work on my outerwear shopping and take you along for the ride.
For this particular endeavor, I have a few tried-and-true destinations that I count on every year to have plenty of covetable coat options. The stores that never fail me? Zara, H&M, and Shopbop. With a wide range of price points and styles, these three retailers are no-brainers when it comes to outerwear shopping (well, all shopping, really). So without further ado, shop all 36 of the coats in my shopping carts at Shopbop, H&M, and Zara.
Shopbop
I'm calling it: This is the coat of winter 2021.
This duvet coat is going to get so much wear this winter (and beyond).
Norma Kamali's iconic Sleeping Bag coat is a forever favorite.
I'm loving the way this furry friend looks with a denim tuxedo. *Mentally pins to mood board.*
This fringe-covered coat would look so good with a long, plaid skirt.
You're not going to catch a cold wearing this ultra-puffy coat.
A cropped, leather puffer is a must if you ask me.
This coat will make anything else you wear look like a million bucks by default.
Thanks to Kim Kardashian West, I'm seeing a huge bomber-jacket comeback in the cards.
I've had this puffer in my shopping cart for too long.
H&M
Is it just me, or does this coat look extremely expensive?
A black robe coat will never be a bad investment.
Catch me re-creating this entire look all winter long.
This blue-and-brown color combo is everything I've been looking for.
I guarantee that people will ask you where you got your coat from on a daily basis if you snatch this one up.
Wrap me up in this forever, please!
I'll regret not getting this, especially since it's on sale.
I love that shackets are being adapted for winter.
This might not be the warmest coat in the world, but it is extremely cute.
She's classy.
I can already tell that this one is going to be so warm.
This entire outfit needs to make its way into my closet, stat.
For those days when it isn't quite so cold.
Zara
I want you. I need you.
This has been on my wish list for weeks.
There's nothing better than getting two coats for the price of one.
This entire outfit is expensive-looking.
The sartorial equivalent of hot cocoa.
This retro Air Force–style jacket is going straight onto my must-buy list.
These closures are giving me Gucci vibes.
Anything that's navy and brown is a yes for me.
Prepare to be the coolest person in the room in this.
The color is the main draw.
This is my plea to bring back the duffle coat.
A leather, quilted duster? Count me 100% in.
That toasty feeling is pretty much guaranteed with this one.
