With Coats This Chic, It Won't Even Matter What You're Wearing Underneath
No matter the season, I am always seeking out ways to make getting ready easier (and faster), but winter is the time that I need a major boost in that department. As someone who lives in the northeast, it is super easy to fall into a style rut when the temperatures take a nosedive. One key piece I rely on for helping me feel the most put-together is a chic winter coat.
To fortify my closet as the cold weather arrived, I made sure to update my outerwear collection with coats that would make me look fashionable regardless of what I am wearing underneath. You'd be surprised how a stellar coat can transform even your most low-key hoodie and sweatpants ensemble. Your winter outfits will be instantly more elevated, and dare I say, expensive-looking.
Below, I rounded up 35 of the chicest coats of the moment, all organized by color, because, why not? Enjoy a variety of styles, including scarf coats, maxi coats, and more.
