After years of covering fashion, I’ve built a coat collection worth showing off. I have a good mix, from tailored wool coats and classic trenches to a few hard-won designer and statement styles. When I’m looking to add something new, which is often because I truly love a good coat, it has to earn its hanger. I don’t exactly have much room left for outerwear. This fall, the pieces catching my eye are compliment-worthy and only get better year after year.
These are the styles I’ve been spotting on the best dressed people in New York and the ones I think will feel fresh well beyond this season. Ahead, shop the outerwear pieces on my wish list right now, from smart Zara finds to the investment pieces worth the splurge.
