10 Coats That Are Worth the Money

This coat does everything. The MSGM Ruffled Crepe Coat ($850) has the power to chic up a jeans-and-tee outfit with its playful ruffle, but it looks just as at home over a formal dress because of its sleek silhouette and classically neutral hue. Consider it your wardrobe's secret weapon when you need a little something extra to pull your outfit together.

There's something so perfectly retro about the Frame Faux Fur Coat ($695), making just enough of a statement to feel special, but not so standout that it's impractical. The brown-red color means you can pair it with virtually anything you already have in your closet, which is perfect for those who want to be able to throw on their coat without thinking twice about whether it will match what's underneath. Oh, and it's super soft and cozy, which is one of the bests part of having a faux fur jacket.

It's true that a lot of people have jackets from this brand, but there's a reason they're so popular: they're crazy warm. If you live in a very cold climate, it's absolutely worth the investment. Plus, the Canada Goose Shelburne Fur-Trimmed Camouflage Down Parka ($925) features a print that makes it stand out from the the rest of the pack, so it won't feel like a carbon copy of what everyone else is wearing.

Nothing could be more timeless than the Burberry Sandringham Trench Coat ($2,595). Trench coats have never really gone out of style, which means you can count on this polished piece to never look dated. While it's not necessarily something you'd want to wear in the snow, it's warm enough for mid-Winter in warmer climates and will see you through Fall and Spring everywhere else.

In case you missed it, puffers are back in a big way. The SAM Infinity Fur-Trimmed Down-Quilted Coat ($795) offers a chance to get in on the trend while solving the "big bulky coat" problem. The belt provides a little silhouette definition for those who don't love the boxy look and the fur hood fancies things up just enough so that the coat can be worn to the office or even on a night out.

If you believe that expensive outerwear should make a statement, the Whistles Alicia Belted Coat ($629) is for you. The color is balanced out by tailored, classic cut, making it more practical than you might expect. It's easily wearable with a work wardrobe and casual basics alike, and the straight fit makes wearing warm layers underneath a cinch.

Find yourself wishing you could keep wearing your leather jacket as your outerwear all season long? You'll be in heaven with the Acne Studios Velocite Shearling-Trimmed Leather Biker Jacket ($2,700). It might come with a hefty price tag, but it's got high-quality leather and shearling on its side. The styling is ideal for women who ascribe to the downtown-cool aesthetic, but it's also surprisingly easy to dress up with statement earrings and a sleek skirt.

Menswear prints were all over the runway this Fall, which makes the Stella McCartney Harper Coat ($2,395) feel right on point for the season. The stretch wool construction ensures a comfy fit, and the cut is thoroughly modern while striking all the right sophisticated preppy notes. Wear it with silky shifts and your favorite weekend attire.

One of the best parts of the puffer trend is that it can skew decidedly sporty, a welcome prospect for those who spend a lot of time in activewear or just like an athleisure look, The punchy Prada Quilted Shell Down Jacket ($1,220) will keep you cozy whether you're running errands, heading to the gym, or venturing out for brunch. The topper also features a moisture-repellant coating, making it suitable for wear in rain and snow.

The sheep shearling Saks Potts Febbe Sky Coat ($1,670) might be the most deliciously textured thing you ever put on your body — zero exaggeration necessary. Colorblocking adds a modern touch to an elegant shape, and the shaggy texture gives the coat an overall shabby chic vibe.
