5 best coat trends to wear in winter 2023 (2024)

FAQs

What is the coat trend for winter 2023? ›

Jackets in Sherpa and Corduroy Fabrics

These jackets are perfect for cold weather, and they come in various shades, making it easy to match them with any outfit. Sherpa and corduroy jackets are also versatile, making them perfect for both casual and formal occasions.

Fluffy, Soft Faux Fur Coats. Faux fur in a range of colours and short to long styles is a feature of the fall and winter coat trends 2023/2024. Fun to wear, lightweight and blissfully warm, they're a must-have. Winter coat trends this season provide a variety of great style choices.

Power-shouldered wool coats, elegant black coats, retro bomber jackets and puffers have proven popular, realised in neutral tones, mood-boosting shades and expressive patterns.

Puffer coats have been a fall and winter mainstay the past few years, and the trend is continuing in 2023.

You'll find plenty of year-round wardrobe essentials in the mix, like crisp button-ups from The Frankie Shop and plain white tees from Re/Done, alongside more trendy It items—think ladylike jackets, structured suit vests, and classically cool driving loafers to round out your rotation.

Color Choices: Classic and versatile colors like black, navy, gray, and white work well for most winter outfits. However, don't be afraid to incorporate some bold or vibrant colors to add personality to your look.

Fashion Trend 2024: The Luxury Jumpsuit

After utilitarian style reigned supreme as one of the top trends in 2023, the ongoing quiet luxury movement — in which ultra-minimalist styles and muted color palettes form the foundation of an expensive-looking aesthetic — is borrowing one of its star garments.

Nature is the biggest inspiration for fashion in 2023. Earthy tones like greens, browns, and sandy shades are taking over the colour palette.

The Trench Coat

Completely timeless, the trench coat will never go out of style, making it a solid investment piece. Opt for designs that have some shower resistant protection for early autumn rain or April showers.

What style of coat is most flattering? ›

A belted coat offers a flattering, cinched-in waist, and the option of a faux fur piece is an easy way to mix up the classic belted-trench style. Tailored jackets can help build structure into a look, while coats that flare at the waist or lower hem are an ideal shape for those whose hips run slightly larger.

Coats that are quilted, goose or duck down filled, faux fur, fleece, or wool will help keep an elderly loved one warm.

This season's defining feature is the shoulders, which were bold and exaggerated on the catwalks, and an extra-long, ankle-skimming length. But, if you're not into those features, just look for a classic double or single-breasted silhouette with minimal detailing in 100% wool.

The teddy coat is not the look for 2023.

The teddy coat — a plush, fuzzy-looking jacket typically made of faux fur — is officially on its way out this year. It's been around for quite a few seasons, but it's time to move on from the trend, according to both Smith and Scratch.

In 2023, oversized garments became the statement pieces that stole the show. They've reshaped the world of streetwear, offering both comfort and style. Oversized clothing created voluminous, exaggerated silhouettes that challenged traditional perceptions of fit and proportion.

Tough, oversized bikers and aged leather styles are back with a vengeance, but there's also a more modern, refined look emerging, with buttery-soft leathers and minimalist designs (see Toteme and Whistles' sleek versions and COS's double-breasted blazer).

Bows, peplums, pleats and ruffles. Details are back and bigger than ever with Victoria Beckham and Erdem embracing peplums, ruffles and oversize bows. Pleated and draped dresses, trousers, skirts and culottes are feeding into the desire for grown-up tailoring in response to the last few years of laidback dressing.

Wool coats are a winter essential! In this post, I'm styling a few winter essentials with a dark gray coat. This coat, along with the clothes, shoes and accessories in this post are from my own closet and are in my Winter 2023 classic neutral capsule wardrobe.
