My favorite time of year is here! It’s finally FALL. Today I am going to be sharing some of the best coats for the fall season. Now I will start this off by saying I may or may not have a coat problem (ask my husband); but I have had most of these pieces in my closet for years (still doesn’t stop me from adding more, in various color options LOL). They are true staple pieces that you will have in your closet for years to come, which in my opinion, is a true justification if I ever heard one. I will also be throwing in a few options that I have my eye on this season as well. If you are in the market for the best coats for fall, you came to the right place.
One of the things that I love most about wrapping up summer and entering into cooler temperatures is adding layers when you are getting dressed. Layering can be tricky but as I have gotten older, I have found a strong appreciation for it. Wanna wear sweats to the grocery store? Throw a wool topcoat over top in the same color-way as said sweats, add a cute crossbody, and the world will never know you just woke up and rolled out of bed. How’s that for being “effortlessly put together?”
When choosing a coat I always like to look at material. I live on the east coast and because we experience colder temperatures in the fall and winter, I like to make sure that my coat will not only look cute but actually keep me warm. When it comes to winter coats, I spare no expense for that warmth factor. In the fall, you or I can get away with some budget friendly options since its not THAT cold yet. I have found that one of the best places to get coats for both fall and winter is J.Crew (not the outlet). You can get a chic, quality coat, that is actually warm, and is not upwards of a thousand dollars. Snag it during one of their sales and you hit the sweet spot.
Top coats are having a moment right now along with field jackets, trench coats, and quilted jackets. Below are some great options by category. Most of which I own or will own very soon.
