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.
Toteme has heard us loud and clear. Its viral scarf coat continues to be so popular that it's been introduced in a longer silhouette, and I guarantee that It girls will be all over the update.
Luxe, glamorous winter style is only a faux-fur coat away.
Funnel-neck outerwear *is* the moment.
No matter what you're wearing underneath, a tailored coat like this will always have you looking polished. The cinched-in waist is just perfection.
According to the fall/winter runways, cape coats and brown-toned outerwear are both set to be huge. Luckily for you, this Zara find nails both.
These buttons are so beautiful.
Puffer coats haven't excited me in quite some time, but Loewe might have just reignited my senses with this shell jacket.
Crisp, classic, and tailored—everything you should be looking for in a wool coat.
Like every other item from Loro Piana, this coat just exudes luxury.
Whether you wear this over a cocktail dress or a loungewear set, you'll be inundated with compliments (fair warning).
As cozy as it is cool.
The right amount of retro.
COS's coats may be a tad higher priced than Zara and Mango, but based on personal experience and reviews from my fellow editors, the quality also surpasses both.
There will always be something so wealthy-looking to me about a camel coat.
The color, the silhouette, the gold hardware. Swoon!
This entire outfit looks like it came straight out of a French woman's closet.
The YSL look without the YSL spend.
How can one not be extremely cozy with a coat like this? It's almost like a portable blanket, which is exactly what I look for when shopping for outerwear.
This reminds me of a certain Toteme style, but without the $3K price tag.
Another very good-looking (and on-budget) funnel-neck option.
Where are my Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy fans at?
This coat is selling out at Nordstrom. And fast.
Cool girls wear cape coats, and that's a fall 2024 fact.
A statement coat doesn't always mean clashing prints or bright colors. The fluffy texture on this coat speaks volumes.
Black coats can be boring. Opting for a chocolate brown hue feels so fresh and elegant.
Mango's coat selection is on fire right now.
Get ahead of the curve and wear spring 2025's prettiest color trend now.
This one's a lot more lowkey then the Toteme option, but just as chic.
With a waist-defining fit and a maxi length, this coat is the epitome of sleek and sophisticated.
This looks like triple its price tag.
Katie Holmes is a fan. That's all I'll say.
Your reminder not to sleep on Abercrombie right now.
Corporate coded.
Insanely pretty.
For those random winter days when the temperatures aren't freezing (or if you live in a warmer climate), this wool cape acts as the perfect outer layer.
