These Outerwear Trends Are Guaranteed to Sell Out Before Black Friday—Shop Them While You Can
Discover viral styles from retailers like Nordstrom, Madewell, Everlane, and more.
This season, the most coveted coat and jacket trends offer a little something for everyone. Every nostalgic shopper who has a penchant for vintage fashion will fall in love with the ‘60s-inspired collarless coat style. Meanwhile, the maximalist lover who lives by a “more is more” philosophy will be pleased to know that opulent faux fur layers and fringed suede jackets are currently dominating the market.
If you’re wondering where to find these viral styles, allow me to point you in the direction of some of my favorite shopping destinations that are hosting major early Black Friday sales. At this very moment, retailers like Madewell, Everlane, and Nordstrom are offering a range of discounted outerwear trends. And of course, they’ve also got their fair share of enduring staples (like sharp trench coats tailored to perfection, billowing puffers filled with insulated fabric, and classic leather jackets that’ll anchor any winter outfit).
These retailers are gold mines for on-sale outerwear—and now is the time to start digging. Below, I’ve curated a handpicked edit of 20 coats and jackets that’ll fit right into your cold-weather wardrobe.
Everlane’s ReWool Short Peacoat is cut from a wool blend for extra warmth. Layer this piece with a cashmere sweater to stay cozy amidst chilly temperatures.
Embrace a utilitarian spirit with this flight jacket. It’s complete with ribbed details and ruching along the sleeves for a decorative flair. Like the rest of the Madewell finds on this list, you have to apply the code "LETSGO" at checkout to get the savings.
If you thought the fisherman aesthetic fizzled out, think again. The nautical-inspired trend is still going strong—so, play into the look with this duffle coat.
Searching for a plain leather jacket that will effortlessly cycle through your outfit rotation? Look no further than this versatile black version from Mango.
This nylon jacket from Gap is crafted with a protective hood, so it’s ideal for rainy winter days.
Madewell puts a patterned twist on the classic trench style with a plaid print. Pull on this coat if you want to make your outfit more dynamic.
This season, I’m test-driving the Canadian tuxedo trend with Madewell’s denim lady jacket. Styled with a matching pair of jeans, knee-high boots, and an oversized coat, this look is poised to become my signature going-out outfit.
Chocolate brown is by far my favorite color trend of the season. While half of my closet is already filled with this delectable shade, I’ll be adding to my assortment with this snug alpaca coat.
Avec Les Filles’s barn jacket stands apart from the rest with a quilted nylon exterior and a corduroy collar. It’s equal parts outdoorsy and elegant.
Channel your inner horse girl with Madewell’s fringed suede jacket. Amp up the Western vibes with flared jeans and cowboy boots.
