The Best Coats to Buy This Winter

— Photographed by Tyler Mitchell, styled by Brian Molloy.

Winter is coming up sooner than we think, and when temperatures drop, we all need a way to stay cozy—and, ideally, to look chic while doing so. The right coat can effortlessly pull a look together, and this season’s offering includes stylish options for every one of your winter moods. From Prada’s take on the toggle coat (a country staple appropriated for hitting the streets) to the cult-classic winter shell from Toteme, we’ve scouted all of the most fashionable ways to block the chill.

Look Sharp

Trim, tailored coats that nod to classic tuxedo suiting will never go out of style. Silk and satin trims make this style a great option for evening. For everyday polish, try a sleek, collarless shape.

Soft Shells

This season’s puffers have left behind their Michelin man associations, transforming instead into a softer and more subtle quilted style with Toteme leading the charge. It’s an elegant option for when you really need to resist the elements.
