Keep warm this season with these on-trend and stylish coats
The best thing about fall fashion? Definitely the coats. A beautifully constructed coat completes your outfit like the proverbial cherry on top. It’s just not fall without a good coat and this season, you’ll find a lot of oversized styles, cocoon shapes, details like mixed materials and buckles, and a variety of soft, plush fabrics.
Click through to see seven of our favourite coats for this season.
From local label Vestige, this wool coat features a soft, forest green lambswool on one side and a military, green-waxed cotton canvas on the reverse—perfect for Vancouver’s cool, damp weather. This versatile piece is the ideal topper for unpredictable weather without sacrificing style.
Available at Much and Little, 2541 Main Street, Vancouver
The ’70s trend is still going strong and this minimalist coat is the perfect combination of a few trends that work beautifully together: collarless + cocoon + faux fur = win. Made with plush faux Sherpa fur, you’ll be reaching for this coat all season long.
Available at Aritzia online and in store
Made with alpaca hair, this coat is incredibly warm, yet lightweight and exceptionally soft. It drapes beautifully with minimal bulk, making each step a study in “the art of the dramatic swish.”
Available online at Sentaler and in store at Holt Renfrew
From rising Korean fashion line LIE, this coat is part of a Canadian debut that brings cutting-edge Asian style to Vancouver. Designer Chung Chung Lee is a graduate of Saint Martins College of Art in London, where he honed his minimalist style, pairing masculine shapes with feminine details. This coat features wool and cashmere in the body with poly arms to give fresh texture to a winter staple.
Available exclusively in store at Middle Sister, 2137 West 4th Avenue, Vancouver
This scrumptious, menswear-inspired coat from Pink Tartan is the perfect antidote for the fall blues. Literally the colour of sunshine, the beautifully graphic plaid design gives this bright coat a grown-up, sophisticated edge. It’s made with soft Italian wool that will keep you feeling as warm as you’ll look.
Available at The Bay online and in store
The denim trend carries into this season and you can embrace it head-to-toe with this Topshop denim duster. This lush denim/wool blend coat is the perfect transitional layer. Its long lines and easy snap-front closure make it a classic topper.
This cocoon coat sports a little more structure with the help of some moto-inspired styling. Coupled with a clasically cool animal print, this will be your favourite statement coat this fall.
Available at Banana Republic online and in store
