These Affordable New Year's Eve Coats Look Expensive (But Aren't)
New Year's Eve is the one night of the year where you're encouraged to throw caution to the wind and don your most outrageously glamorous outfit. But while we're all for slinky slip dresses and metallic minis, cold weather presents obvious sartorial challenges. Coupled with the fact that we're not exactly looking to shell out for an expensive piece right after the indulgent holiday season, we'd argue that a stylish yet affordable coat is a NYE essential.
With both style and practicality in mind, we've rounded up the best affordable and chic New Year's Eve coats on the internet. Whether you're looking to stay warm throughout the night or simply layer a festive piece over your going-out outfit, we've found the perfect coat to complete your New Year's Eve ensemble. Ranging from $60 to $395, find 15 budget-friendly New Year's Eve coats that look surprisingly expensive below.
Trench Coats
This list wouldn't be complete without the style of the season: the trench coat. While the term may conjure up a Matrix-esque mental image for some, the look has come a long way since the '90s. The latest iterations don't skimp on versatility—trenches now come in every print, material, and length imaginable. Your search for a wild print, a vinyl number, or a style with pockets ends here.
Faux Fur
There's nothing quite as luxurious as a fur coat, and this season's faux-fur counterparts offer the same opulence at a fraction of the price. Not only are these coats the perfect topper to a New Year's Eve–worthy look, they'll actually keep you warm throughout the night. Shop our affordable and stylish faux-fur picks below.

Blazers
Nothing says chic like a well-tailored blazer. A hallmark of a timeless, well-appointed wardrobe, the blazer is a 2019 staple, thanks to the suiting trend that's taken the fashion world by storm. Layer this refined topper over your flashy New Year's Eve ensemble for a touch of sophistication and polish. Shop our chic-yet-inexpensive favorites below.
Cropped Biker Jackets
A biker jacket is a staple in any fashion girl's closet, and now this essential comes in every print, color, and cut imaginable. Not only does a biker jacket effortlessly elevate a simple T-shirt and jeans, but it also adds the perfect edgy touch to an otherwise elegant New Year's Eve ensemble. Drape it over a silk slip dress or pair it with disco-inspired metallic pants to balance out your look.
It's New Year's Eve—wear the red leather biker jacket.
