When your coat game is on point, everything else seems to fall into place. This season, the most lauded styles are ones that bring the drama — like an oversize cocoon, luxe shearling, or regal duster. Put one of these on and it won’t really matter what you wear underneath.
COCOON
Surprisingly, this is the most versatile shape in the coat world. Toughen it up with thick-soled brogues or go for a sporty look (like the off-white one, pictured) with a pair of kicks.

DUSTER
There is nothing more classic and sharp than a well-fitted duster. Luxury brands like Marni and Maison Margiela turned out versions in fall’s go-to color palette of dusty rose and muted mustard, but you can get your hands on the look in black for a fraction of the price. Zara, anyone?
