Outerwear for winter 2021: The Coats Edit

COVER STORY / 2020-12-08

We're all social distancing and staying home as much as possible. This phase that we are all dealing with together, can easily derail the festive and holiday season mood, let alone dressing up for it. However, winters are here and outerwear still very much deserves seasonal recognition. We promise there's a whole range of chic outerwear trends this season that you'll absolutely love. In this edit, we are focussing on coats for women and we hope you'll find something to jazz up any winter outfit in the coming days – whether it be a cute dress or your coziest hoodie sweatshirt. Scroll down for seven hot coat trends that you need to shop ASAP!

1. Woollen coats

As the weather gets colder, it’s time to grab the warmest (and arguably the most useful) coat in your wardrobe. The right woollen coat will keep you comfortable and warm, and leave you looking like a fashionable marshmallow. Think woollen military and maxi coats this season and sput your chicest foot forward.

2. Seasonal warm tones

FW2020 runways have added a twist on the longstanding earthy-monochrome hue reign on the coats category. Opt for a warm red-brown tone this year instead and create festive looks by layering the same color. Play with textures and weights of fabrics if you want a little extra spice.

3. Belle of the Coat

Not all holiday parties call for sheath dresses and high heels. Take notes from Instagram fashion queens who are pulling together the best in casual party attires already. A dress coat or a coat dress, paired with and statement boots are perfect for a low-key outing, whether you’re going to a thanksgiving dinner or a happy hour with your friends. Pair with your favorite cozy scarf and your go-to delicate gold jewelry for a comfortable and casual-chic party outfit. Need more reason to wear a coat as a whole outfit this season?

4. Pop of color

A coat has that ideal silhouette that has the ability to enhance even the most basic ensembles. Hence, a bold, colorful coat can make a sharp outerwear piece in your wardrobe that will  definitely stand out in a sea of black coats. Extroverted pink, cobalt blue, sunny yellow and bright pistachio green are key tones for fall/winter 2021. Incorporate an overcoat in these vivacious hues to turn heads and make a statement.

5. Pastels

Winter pastels will always have a special place in our hearts. Winter 2021 is a great time to start a pastel fever if you haven’t tried the trend yet. A powder blue coat or a dusty pink one are perfect choices for the upcoming season. Pastel coats are light, and easy to layer with the perfect dress or on denims.

6. Shearling, Parkas and all that’s Fringed

While shearling is in the same family as fleece and faux fur, which are relatively evergreen trends, hairy/fringed shearing specifically is bubbling up as a coat trend to watch. Once you experience the ultra-cozy and borderline Kylie Jenner vibe of these, you won't go back.

7. Oversized

Oversized coats were probably the biggest outerwear trend of 2019. It seems like these cozy coats have secured a position in the trend charts yet another season. Puffers and capes are predicted to gain popularity along with some classic styles like the trench and checked coat. We also highly recommend an oversized shearling coat because not only does it just look so warm and toasty, but it's just so chic.

Whether you decide to invest in just one or buy the whole lot, these coats are bound to turn this chilly season into your chicest season. Check out some of our New-in coats below!
