To combat the winter chill, nothing beats the perennial trend of standout shearling coats, and this season, brands like Simon Miller, Nour Hammour, and Stand Studio are leading the charge. Here's a rundown of the key fall/winter coat trends you need to know:
1. Shearling Statement Coats:
• Standout shearling coats from designers like Simon Miller, Nour Hammour, and Stand Studio are a must-have this season. These cozy yet stylish pieces elevate your winter wardrobe and keep you warm in the colder months.
2. Floor-Sweeping Elegance:
• Embrace the elegance of ultra-long coats, a trend prominently featured by Saint Laurent and The Row. Jackets that double as cold-weather dresses provide full-body coverage and a tailored fit, creating a cohesive appearance suitable for running errands or attending dinner soirées.
3. Ultra-Tailored Chic:
• The fall/winter season spotlights the enduring appeal of double-breasted blazers. Opt for discreetly crafted iterations with blazer details, such as Nili Lotan's or Bottega's peacoat with a waist-hugging silhouette. Loulou Studio offers a polished version with sharp angles and a collarless profile.
4. Shearling Robe Coats:
• Stay snug with shearling robe coats that exude both comfort and style. Loro Piana's buttercream version and Yves Salomon's lamb coat in a pairable powder blue showcase the fashion-forward side of these cozy outerwear options.
5. Toggled & True Classics:
• The timeless toggle-embellished duffle coat makes a comeback, combining vintage charm with modern tones. Prada's classic rendition and Toteme's shearling option exemplify the enduring allure of this menswear-inspired silhouette.
6. Statement Shearling Ensembles:
• Shearling coats not only provide warmth but also make a style statement, as evidenced by celebrities like Emily Ratajkowski sporting Nour Hammour's reversible peacoat and Stand Studio's offerings. Elevate your winter fashion by pairing your shearling coat with equally stylish shearling sandals.
7. Quilted Shell Sophistication:
• Quilted shell coats and jackets have regained popularity due to their sophistication and functionality on unpredictable winter days. Whether lightweight quilted liners or heavy-duty puffers, these coats serve as the ultimate layering essential. Style them over festive Fair Isle sweaters or crisp white button-ups for elevated elegance.
8. Double Down on Down Wrap Jackets:
• Bridging the gap between a coat and a blanket, down wrap jackets offer a fresh twist on the classic zip puffer coat. Norma Kamali's "sleeping bag" jacket and Saint Laurent's padded version add a cozy and stylish touch to your winter wardrobe.
