Here at Who What Wear, we love talking about the latest and greatest fashion trends. However, today I'm not talking about fleeting looks that might decline in popularity any second. I'm not making a case for what to wear merely this season—I'm handpicking the coats you can easily wear for the next 10 winters without worrying about them going out of style.
That's right: I believe these coat trends will stand the test of time and still be relevant in a decade. How's that for a solid investment? Scroll down to shop my favorite fall coat trends that will score you major ROI, along with styling ideas for each.
