Classic Coats Are So 2024—This Winter, The Chicest People Are Opting For This Specific Statement Style
No shade to classic wool coats as they still are (and always will be) the foundation of a solid cold-weather wardrobe, but based on the It-girl outfits so far this season, winter 2025 is set to be 100% about the statement coat. Everywhere we look, luxury fashion is getting more expressive, maximal, and all-around fun and nowhere is that seen more than in this year's most exciting designer coats on offer. More specifically, fur-trimmed coats. They're emerging as *the* It style of winter 2025, and they look undeniably "rich".
We’ve already spotted the luxe silhouette on all the It girls in New York, London and Paris which means the trend is set to only growing stronger as colder weather arrives. This season, they're prioritizing these fur and shearling trimming over understated wool coats. Ahead, see how It girls in the chicest cities are wearing fur-trimmed coats and shop best luxury styles to wear this winter.
How It Girls are Styling a Fur-Trimmed Coat
Style Notes: Elsa Hosk's Valentino jacket is quickly rising in the ranks as a winter 2025 It item.
Style Notes: With a coat silhouette this luxurious, all you need to finish the styling is a pair of dark denim and classic ankle boots.
Style Notes: It girls are figuring out that fur-trimmed coats look even more "rich" when styled with oversize aviator style sunglasses.
Style Notes: Prada's blazer-inspired coats come finished with a twisted fur collar that takes the otherwise classic coat up several notches. Style one with pleated trousers and pumps for a luxe take on suiting.
Style Notes: Tap into a retro mood when you pair a fluffy-trim coat with vintage denim.
Style Notes: A long maxi coat with a fluffy statement collar *is* the whole outfit. Just add sleek heeled boots.
