As cliché as it is to say, winter is coming. And that means gloves, scarves, boots, and layers are on the horizon. It also means it's time to start thinking critically about our outerwear options. Soon the weather will require only the most serious of outerwear styles, which inspired me to take inventory of my coat selection.
While there are many coat trends worthy of our attention for winter 2024, I've been captivated by one silhouette in particular: the maxi coat. Not only does this extra-long style add a touch of drama to a look, but it's also guaranteed to keep you warm thanks to the floor-skimming length. It's not often that a trend is both stylish and practical, so this is one I'm cosigning for the season ahead. I took it upon myself to scour the internet for the chicest options and found 31 that have my full attention. Below are the best maxi coats from Shopbop, COS, and Mango.
