Third only to our jeans [1] and our sweatpants is a great coat we can live in all fall and winter. We want a coat or jacket we can wear every day, a basic that's not so basic but the kind of outerwear that makes the whole outfit. That's exactly what we've found for you here: a collection of coats — casual jackets, coats with hoods, you name it — that you can throw on at a moment's notice and feel pulled together walking out the door.
These six coat styles, rooted in winter's biggest trends [2], are both functional and all fashion. They're pieces that can be layered or worn on their own, even if you've just got your pajamas on underneath. From the wool overshirt jacket (or "shacket") to more luxurious-looking shearling coats, we suspect you'll find something in this set to suit your style this season and well beyond.
