The Coat Is the Outfit—17 Elite Ones to Carry You Into 2027
All under $250.
Between the nor'easter and the unmistakable chill in the air, fall is officially here. I’m still getting away with layering up in sweaters, but it’s only a matter of time before coats become part of my daily rotation.
Luckily, fall’s outerwear trends offer plenty to work with. Familiar heavy-hitters like trench coats and leather bombers are back in the mix, while more directional silhouettes are giving the classics some competition. Utilitarian-inspired anoraks and barn jackets make a case for practical dressing, funnel-neck coats feel particularly of the moment, and enveloping shearling styles are ready for when temperatures really start to drop (so, any day now).
While outerwear can easily become one of the bigger investments in a fall wardrobe, it doesn’t necessarily have to be. That's where sales come in. If you’re looking to add a new coat to your rotation—especially one that pretty much makes the outfit—I found 17 standout options under $250 from retailers like Bloomingdale’s, SSENSE, and more.
