The top winter coat trends of 2023 range from tried-and-true traditional checks and plaids to flattering, ultra-tailored coats that add a runway-inspired contemporary twist. Debuted last year and still reigning supreme, are coats from Toteme, The Row, and even Cos, which featuring floor-sweeping lengths for dramatic flair. A winter staple that only requires tights and Mary Janes—what more could you ask for? Quilted shell coats from Everlane and The Frankie Shop are still a top trending item amongst retailers and, of course, street stylers. They also serve as a great anchor for the rest of your winter wardrobe staples, like a simple white turtleneck or a cozy cashmere sweater.
To beat the winter blues, standout shearling coats are never not on-trend—and styles from Simon Miller, Nour Hammour, and Stand Studio are champions this season. Alternatively, you can transport yourself (at least mentally) to the British countryside by way of houndstooth, plaid, and checked coats from the likes of Isabel Marant, H&M, Vince, and more. When the weather is especially wintry, warm up in a shearling robe coat from Yves Solomon, Loro Piana, or Herno—it will be as if you never left your house. And if you need to double down on warmth, well, the new crop of puffer coats is here to ignite you and save the day, with styles ranging from cozy sleeping bag silhouettes to puffy (yet surprisingly tailored) shawl-like designs.
Whatever coat you land on this winter, there’s no doubt it will stand out. Below, are the eight winter coat trends of 2024 to shop now.
Sweep the Floor
What’s more uncomplicated to chuck on for the winter season than a knitted maxi dress? Well, a floor-sweeping coat, of course. This season, we saw ultra-long coats (looking at you, Saint Laurent, and The Row!) and jackets that could double as a cold-weather dress. It’s full-body coverage and tailored fit concoct a cohesive appearance that requires little fuss while running errands, or attending dinner soirées.
Ultra-Tailored
It’s rare to look at the fall/winter shows and not spot a double-breasted blazer or three, because they never truly get removed from our rotations. For the new season, it’s all about picking iterations that have been crafted with discretion—coats that have blazer details, like Nili Lotan’s. Or, Bottega’s peacoat, whose funnel-neck style comes bearing a waist-hugging silhouette to offset the length. Loulou Studio’s polished iteration is punctuated by sharp angles—both in the shoulder and a razor-sharp collarless profile.
Shearling Robe Coats
As if you never left the solace of your own dwelling, these shearling robe coats promise to keep you snug all season long. Of course, they beget in style, too, like a buttercream version from Loro Piana or Yves Salomon’s lamb coat, crafted in a pairable powder blue.
Toggled & True
Whether you’re a fashion fanatic or someone who just relishes wardrobe functionality, you’ve probably noticed a familiar silhouette gracing the latest collections, and the streets—the menswear-inspired toggle-embellished duffle coat. This definitive outerwear piece has once again found the limelight, bringing with it an assortment of vintage charisma, with modern tones. Just take a look at Prada’s timeless rendition or Toteme’s newer shearling option.
Statement Shearling Coats
Shearling coats not only deliver warmth, but of course, style—and these celebs seem to think so too. This winter season, the shearling set has never looked better, thanks to Nour Hammour’s reversible peacoat (already spotted on Emily Ratajkowksi), Stand Studio, and more. Go one step further and wear your new shearling coat with an equally stylish shearling sandal.
Quilted Shell Coats
Quilted shell coats and jackets have gained major popularity as of late courtesy of the brand’s making them sophisticated again and for their functionality on those haphazardous winter days. Ranging in warmth from lightweight quilted liners to more heavy-duty puffers that feel more like a water-proof blanket than a coat, a quilted shell coat is the ultimate layering essential. Style it over a festive Fair Isle sweater or a crisp white button-up, for elevated elegance.
Double Down
Somewhere between a coat and a blanket, these down wrap jackets offer a fresh take on the classic zip puffer coat. Norma Kamali’s “sleeping bag” jacket is aptly named (so cozy!), while Saint Laurent’s padded jacket looks like it belongs in your favorite A-lister’s closet.
Checks and Plaids
Plaids, checks, and houndstooth bring texture and print to a monochromatic look, whether worn head-to-toe, paired with opposing patterns. From Isabel Marant’s timeless tweed to Tanya Taylor’s checkering, these coats are as work-appropriate as they are weekend-ready.
