If you're anything like us, you wait until the very last second to invest in a new coat. Whether that's because you're sad to see Summer go or because you like to layer your lighter jackets, it's never long before the Fall winds whip right through our thin toppers. So this year, we're thinking ahead, but we're also thinking about sugary shades. After all, pretty pastels [1] were one of the unexpected Fall trends that we couldn't wait to try, and now we think we know why: a heavier coat in a lighter color strikes the perfect balance when we need a little motivation to head into the cold. And with the range of styles below — which run the gamut from sporty and functional to prim and tailored — we bet you'll find something you can't wait to show off.
