Timeless Trench Coats

Trench coats are timeless for a reason–worn belted as an all-in-one-outfit or open over a pair of lived-in denim, this is one style worth investing in. From The Frankie Shop and & Other Stories, find oversized takes that hold room for even your chunkiest fall knitwear. Khaite’s trench has a more tailored silhouette and features a darker wash. Classic khaki trenches are, of course, a must, like these from Mango and Everlane.
Elegant Overcoats

For those chicer moments like an important work meeting where you want to look your best or a night out for dinner and a show, take your outfit up a notch with one of these elegant overcoats. A classic camel coat is always a go-to, like these from J.Crew and Ganni, while long black overcoats from Paco Rabanne and Totême are an equally good choice. For those looking for options that err on the side of classic, find Nanushka’s brown floor-length coat and an ivory Mango number.
Longline Leather Coats

A sleek floor-length leather coat is the ultimate chic wardrobe staple, instantly dressing up your most casual attire. You can never go wrong with classic black, like these from Mango and Zara. Pop the color in a red and pink longline leather from Staud or a Chloé striped white, red, and black coat. Vince’s brown leather trench feels especially festive for fall—pair it with a lug-sole boot when the winter weather rolls in. And sometimes, the shaggier, the better, like this beige coat from Saks Potts. Get this one while you still can—the style is a favorite for a reason!
Puffed-Up Parkas

Cozy up and keep warm in any of these puffed-up parkas this fall and winter. Quilted versions from Cos and Mango give the style an added edge. Hoods on parkas from Khaite and & Other Stories are welcome additional layers of warmth and worth considering when purchasing. Prada takes its signature technical nylon to a new level with this khaki green belted number. The flattering cinched waist is not a feature you typically find in a parka. The standout here is Sea’s quilted printed coat, reminiscent of your coziest blankets to curl up in.
Bomber Jackets

Oversized, cropped, khaki, or leather, the best bomber jackets are a prized piece of smart-casual outerwear for fall. Play with proportions in a khaki oversized bomber jacket from The Frankie Shop and a cropped black bomber from & Other Stories. Prepare to take flight in an aviator-inspired jacket from Khaite, and try on printed versions from Ulla Johnson and Prada. Khaki is always in style, like this one from the Gap.
