We don't need to tell you, you can clearly see, winter is here. And with its arrival, you may feel the need to update your outerwear. One trendy option? Oversize coats. And there's truly nothing that scratches that specific winter wardrobe itch of both ultimate cozy feeling and chicness quite like them. On the one hand, you can drape them over the chunkiest winter sweaters and sweater dresses and wrap yourself up in them like nothing else. And on the other hand, you'll love how the look truly completes any cold-weather outfit.
I wouldn't recommend just grabbing any coat and going up a size or two. True oversize coats will be labeled "oversize" clearly on their product name when you shop online (or on the tag if you're shopping in person) and are made this way intentionally, so you should take your normal size. You can find them in neutral colors, bold patterns, in faux fur texture, trench texture, or classic wool. Choose your fighter! See a selection of our current favorite oversize jackets below to see what I mean.

To me personally, nothing is more fun than making a coat that's typically supposed to be waist-length into a longline design. It will always be unexpected and so, so fun. Please see this sherpa-lined denim option for proof.
