Looking for the perfect outerwear to complete your fall/winter wardrobe? Look no further than a timeless black coat. Just like the little black dress, a black coat is a versatile and essential piece that effortlessly elevates any outfit. Invest in one that fits you beautifully, and you’ll find yourself reaching for it again and again.
This season, smart black trenches are ideal for the transition into autumn, while cozy puffers, bomber jackets, and quilted coats provide warmth during the colder months. The autumn/winter 2024 runways showcased the enduring appeal of a well-tailored coat, as seen at 16Arlington, The Row, and Sean McGirr’s debut at McQueen, among others. To find your perfect match, try on various styles and explore different sizes, as an oversized silhouette can be surprisingly flattering.
Vogue presents a curated selection of the best black coats to covet this season, offering a range of price points and styles to suit every taste.
The Elegant Wool Coat
Longline wool and wool-blend coats provide exceptional warmth without compromising style. A flawlessly tailored black coat can instantly elevate even the simplest of outfits.
The Trusty Trench
Whether you prefer a classic trench with storm flaps and epaulettes or a belted leather trench, this timeless style is a versatile outerwear staple for any season.
The Snug Puffer
If you haven’t already invested in a cozy puffer coat, now is the time. From Arket’s bestselling puffer to Prada’s luxurious logo iteration, these coats will keep you warm and comfortable throughout the winter.
