Your coat is the outfit now
From October to March, your coat is the first thing everyone sees. That makes it the one piece that's worth going bold on. This fall's outerwear is all about drama: gold-trimmed military jackets, wild animal print faux fur, '70s-inspired suede and long-and-lean plaid.
Here are the fall outerwear trends we're loving right now, and the Azalea Wang pieces to wear them in.
The fall outerwear trends to know
- Military. Stand collars, epaulets, gold trim and double-breasted buttons give jackets a sharp, structured edge.
- Animal print faux fur. Zebra and tiger are the new neutrals, especially on a long, cozy coat.
- '70s Penny Lane. Faux suede and faux fur trim bring the Almost Famous vibes back.
- Long plaid. A maxi-length plaid coat is the easiest way to look polished over everything.
- Statement trenches. Pinstripes, metallic snake and draped lapels are reinventing the classic. See our Trench Please guide.
