Believe it or not autumn is only a short stint away, temperatures are decreasing and the sun is hiding a little earlier these days. Although the thought of snowstorms, zero degree temperatures and icy conditions are not what we look forward to, why not focus on the brighter side and start obsessing over your fall wardrobe! Layering, OTK boots, cashmere sweaters, booties, leggings shall I go on? However, no wardrobe is complete without a side closet full of coats. So now that we are on the same cheery page, let’s talk about those coats, shall we. Here are 6 coats we think you’re going to “fall” for (pun intended).
1. Choose A Cape
Capes are always the right choice for a fashionista on the go. Wear this cape from Sacai with bangles while the leaves are falling, or with long leather or cashmere gloves for a glamorous Audrey Hepburn look when the weather chills.
2. Or A Shawl Collar Coat
This large shawl collar coat screams corporate exec on the rise. Wearing this coat is the purest form of power dressing, feel free to be late for your next business meeting, it can’t get started without you, remember!
3. The Investment Coat
Coats are an investment piece. Therefore, this Balenciaga wool-blend coat with pink spray paint effects is nothing short of gorgeous! Be daring and give your classic look a streetwear twist, and shout, “Who’s cooler than me? No one!”
4. Go Pink
If you are feeling girlie this autumn, choose pink! Pair this pink Oversized Cocoon number with neutral attire to make it the statement piece in your wardrobe.
5. A Trench Coat
The trench coat is an essential wardrobe must have. This military-inspired trench can give the girl who loves the idea of thrift shopping but never seems to find the perfect item, a new fave! So you cheated with this tailored thrift find, we won’t tell. Just let them swoon for years to come.
6. A Faux Fur Gilet
Right. We are aware this is technically not a coat. But who are we to judge. This faux fur gilet is perfect for frosty girls nights or wandering around markets in the chilly autumn air. Pair it with your favourite jumper for a chic and cosy look!

#2 is my favorite one. I think you can never go wrong with a coat like that (especially the colour – it will go with anything you wear and you will look amazing).
