6 Major Coat Trends That'll Become Your Go-To Looks This Winter
Third only to our jeans 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, 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.
Puffers
Not just a trend, but a winter essential, the puffer's earned its place in our closet this season with bright colors and bolder shapes that add just the right amount of drama.

Overshirts
It's just like your favorite flannel, but heavier with wool finishes that are meant to keep you cozy all season. We'll throw these on around the house and style with jeans and over dresses to layer up through the winter — even under our heavier coats and jackets.
