The Perfect Coat can revitalize a wardrobe and act as a multi-piece staple to any wardrobe. A fabulous trench can act as a dress or coat; a cropped and voluminous wool coat can act as a blazer/sweater/coat; and a tailored cut can dress up any ensemble and give it the modern boost that it may need.
Our picks below represent six of our favorite coats for this season. Rachel Roy is an obvious favorite, with a mid-length choice taking the crown as well.
Feeling inspired? Don't be afraid to dig out a vintage piece from your wardrobe. Decide on a silhouette that you adore, then take it to a reliable tailor to trim it to the perfect length.
1. Diane von Furstenberg Laurus Jaquard Jacket / $425.00 *
2. Ya-Ya Flap Front Jacket / $484.00 *
3. Rachel Roy Ava Short Jacket / $284.00 *
4. Rachel Roy Angela Short Trench / $385.00 *
5. Rachel Roy Ashlyn Leather Jacket / $402.00 *
6. L.A.M.B. Short Inset Coat / $342.00 *
* These styles are extremely popular for the season so no need to spend too much on these items, look for affordable options at retail stores in your city. But of course, if you feel that one of these could be a continuous seasonal staple, then the splurge is justified :).
