There's nothing like that first crisp fall day with a chill in the air signaling the season is in full swing. It also signals that we're entering coat season, which feels particularly exciting for fashion people. Breaking out my favorite styles and hunting for new prospects is one of the highlights of fall. Outerwear provides the opportunity to add color, texture, and dramatic silhouettes to an outfit—plus keep you warm, of course. It's a chance to marry function and personality, which is the name of the game in fashion.
Now, of course, coats are an investment, so I always try to strike a balance between style and function while also looking for pieces that feel both timeless and modern—meaning there's a lot to consider when shopping for a new coat. So when designers create something that perfectly checks off all of the boxes, you know it's going to go fast. After scanning through the new arrivals of all our favorite retailers, I've compiled a list of the most gorgeous fall outerwear that I know will be the first to sell out, so I'm sharing those here. From sweeping leather trench coats to chocolate-brown shearling, here are the 31 fall coats I think will be huge hits. Don't say I didn't warn you.
