I may love fashion, but I don't love putting together complicated outfits. I rarely give myself more than five minutes to figure out what I'm going to wear, so the simpler the outfit, the happier I am. This is why coat season (aka winter) is so appealing to me. I get that winter being appealing is probably an unpopular opinion, but think about it. If you have a few cool coats, you can just wear jeans and a sweater every day of the week but still look like you made an effort when wearing a special coat.
If you agree with my winter-style mindset, let's shop for great coats instead of complicated outfits. I compiled a list of 33 options that are so spectacular the rest of your outfit won't even matter. Bonus: They'll keep you warm. Keep scrolling to shop my outfit-making picks for the most epic coats on the internet.
Just call me the girl in the big camel coat.
The coat that started the scarf-coat trend.
I find that this shade of pink goes with pretty much everything.
Worn leather jackets are very popular right now, and I'm loving the coat version.
The contrasting collar makes this one stand out among a sea of camel coats.
Nothing compares to the level of chicness of a leather trench coat.
If ever there were a year to purchase a red coat…
The fashion crowd has fallen for toggles this season.
It's like a peacoat and a faux-fur coat had a baby.
Such a chic alternative to a black wool coat.
A worthwhile splurge for a coat you'll want to wear forever.
So good with an all-black outfit.
Pinstripes will never be chicer.
A sleeping-bag coat sounds crazy on paper, but this is super chic.
In case you prefer coats with color.
Animal-print coats like this weirdly go with everything.
As an added bonus, it's water-resistant.
This is technically more of a jacket than a coat, but how could I not include it?
The contrasting lining is key.
The ultra-luxurious coat that spurred a million imitators.
The cape trend is officially growing on me.
It's giving Penny Lane in Almost Famous.
More interesting than a black wool coat but just as versatile.
After selling out last year, this Mango It coat is back in stock.
The cut makes it classic, and the fabric and color make it special.
A girl can dream.
It's reversible, so it's basically like two coats in one.
I have a feeling this will be sold out in a matter of days.
Saks Potts never misses in the statement-coat department.
Nipped-waist jackets feel especially fresh right now.
Another stunning nipped-waist option.
Prepare for compliments.
The coziest way to look chic.
