Summer has faded, paving the way for fall and winter essentials like coats and scarves. Each year, selecting the perfect coat that balances comfort, warmth, and style poses a challenge. As seasoned fashion observers who've tracked runway shows and street style, we're sharing our expert guide to the most trendy coats and jackets for winter 2019/2020.
Oversized is the dominant trend this season. Coats and jackets alike embrace the XXL silhouette, from denim jackets and wool coats to classic charcoal grays. Pair oversized styles with shoulder pads for an androgynous edge, as seen across Paris Fashion Week Fall-Winter 2019-2020.
Multicolored down jackets are out; opt for metallic or satin finishes for a sleek, futuristic vibe. Stow away the black puffer and choose silver or gold instead!
