The Outerwear Edit: 10 Coats We Want to Splurge on and 18 Affordable Picks
Now that fall is on the way, it's time to start thinking about outerwear. While we won't delve into heavy fur coats just yet (winter is still a ways off), it's important to ensure you have a reliable trench coat or leather option for the upcoming season. This shouldn't be an impulse purchase—you want to pick one that's versatile and can remain a go-to piece for several seasons to come.
There are premium choices from brands like Toteme that grace our favorite celebrities and embody our luxury aspirations, but they do carry a higher price tag. While they're certainly something to aim for, I've also combed through the internet to find the best affordably priced outerwear currently available. Whether you choose to invest in one of the pricier selections below or opt for a budget-friendly outerwear pieces, your satisfaction is assured.
Keep scrolling to shop our favorite outerwear for fall, from $2000 to $60. Trust us—after you buy one of the options below, it'll be a staple in your closet for years to come.
Splurge:
I want this entire look, but I'm primarily focused on this luxe trench coat.
A whole year later, everyone's still as obsessed with this coat. (No, I'm not surprised.)
I was skeptical about Helsa, as I always am with celebrity brands, but Elsa Holsk and Revolve really knocked it out of the park.
No matter what's in trend, a biker jacket will be something you'll wear for years to come. (I'm still wearing mine from college.)
Leave it to Khaite to transform a classic silhouette into something incredibly cool.
I dreamt about this Toteme jacket last year, and I find myself doing the same this year. Do you think it's finally time for me to make the purchase?
If coziness is your priorityy, Loulou Studio is the brand for you.
Save:
I already have a beige trench coat, but this khaki green color is next on my list. Thank you, H&M!
Mark my words: this will sell out within the next month. Pixie Market finds go quickly on Shopbop.
I own far too many camel and brown jackets; it's time I added some color variety to my wardrobe.
I want September to arrive quickly so I can begin wearing this jacket immediately.
ASOS dropped a ton of outerwear on Nordstrom this week, and I don't think they're going to be in stock for long.
No one needs to know what you're wearing underneath when the coat looks this good.
If the By Malene Birger biker jacket above exceeds your budget, this H&M option serves as a great and affordable alternative.
Why only stick to basic coats when you can have one with cargo pockets like these?
