As much as I hate to admit it, cold weather is here—and it's sticking around for the foreseeable future. I know, tragic. The sun is nowhere to be found in L.A., and it even snowed for the first time a few days ago in New York. Winter is clearly on its way, so it's time to pull my jackets out from the depths of my closet, dust them off, and put them back to work.
I won't lie—finding outerwear that's both warm and stylish is no easy task. When the temperatures drop and you really need to be bundled up (which I don't often experience in L.A., but I definitely will on my upcoming trip to NYC), your jacket basically is the outfit. So, naturally, the key is to find a chic jacket—one that feels elevated, polished, and fashion-forward without sacrificing comfort.
On my hunt, I came across Maximilian's outerwear collection at Saks—and let's just say my search ended there. Each piece is crafted with high-quality materials that not only keep you warm but also make your outfit look fabulous. The lineup includes everything from sleek trenches and timeless leather pieces to plush faux-fur and shearling coats that I'm certain will take over my winter wardrobe. Below, shop the styles that are guaranteed to take all your cold-weather looks to the next level.
Trench and Long Coats
If you only invest in one coat this season, make it a trench or long coat. These styles have a way of elevating any look, channeling that polished, Parisian vibe we all love. Each of these is the perfect mix of sophistication, warmth, and chicness.
Faux Fur and Shearling Coats
Faux-fur coats are hands-down my favorite outerwear style. There's something about slipping one on that instantly makes me feel confident, put-together, and ready to take on the day. They're cozy, statement-making, and always look high-end, no matter what you wear them with.
Wool Coats
A great wool coat is one of those pieces that never really goes out of style. It keeps you warm and looks incredibly luxe. Plus, it's built to last for years, making it an investment piece you'll reach for season after season.
Leather Jackets
Leather jackets are easily the item I wear most during L.A. winters. They're ideal for this in-between-season weather we're having, and I swear they make every outfit look 10 times cooler. Whether I'm heading out for the night or just want to give my outfit an edgy, grungy vibe, a great leather jacket always does the trick.
