Fall Coat Trends

Are you looking for a new coat this season? Here are five of the hottest trends in coats, along with tips on where to find them at affordable prices.

Motorcycle jacket

Leather motorcycle jackets are all the rage. These edgy jackets feature lots of zippers, studs and other hardware. To save money (and be animal friendly), opt for faux leather rather than the real thing. The gray motorcycle jacket pictured here is a fantastic choice from Macy's. The polyurethane coat is fully lined and features a trendy zipper.

Trench coat

The trench coat is a sleek choice for fall. You can choose a classic trench silhouette or something a little shorter and more fitted. This Merona trench coat with striped decorative details for fall is water repellent and fully lined. It comes in right at our budget for $49.99.

Puffer jacket

For colder weather, look for a puffer jacket. These coats are quilted and puffy (as the name indicates). They often feature a hood and a fur collar for extra warmth. Among other brands, J.Jill makes a down filled puffer vest that can look adorable with your favorite pair of slacks or a skirt with patterned tights.

Classic peacoat

A must-have when the cold weather sets in, a classic peacoat can be worn with just about anything. Choose a simple, double-breasted style in a neutral color such as black, brown or gray. Depending on your body type, peacoats should fall just below the waist or at the hips for a little more coverage. This teal peacoat is made from a comfortable wool blend and is fully lined for winter warmth when fall has come and gone.

Sweater coat

If you live in a mild climate, a sweater coat is ideal for fall. This season, sweater coats are extremely popular in all shapes and styles. One of the hottest trends in sweater coats is the boyfriend cardigan. These slouchy oversized sweaters are a comfortable option and can still contribute to a polished look. They can be worn with everything from jeans and a turtleneck to a work dress. This blue boyfriend cardigan is a perfect way to welcome fall while letting the colors of summer linger a while longer.
