As we gear up for the chilly season, I’m starting to pull out my essential cold-weather apparel items and accessories. At the top of the list are, of course, my coats. Living in a place like Minnesota, I like to keep a variety of coats on hand to keep me cozy in different temperatures and for different occasions.

Now that the fall season is officially upon us, I wanted to put together a roundup of my favorite coats available right now, broken out into five categories. I hope you find something you love in the list below!

15 Coats I Love for Fall and Winter 2022

Wrap Coat

I don’t think this kind of coat will ever go out of style. Get a good wrap coat and wear it forever.

1. J. Crew Wrap Blazer-Jacket in Italian Boiled Wool $268, currently on sale for $224
2. UNIQLO Wool Blend Long Coat $160
3. Gap Recycled Double-Face Wool Wrap Coat $228

Puffer Coat

It’s chic to be comfortable when the temps drop. Take inspiration from great après-ski style photos online and get a puffer coat that will serve you well on a functional level and make you feel stylish.

4. Everlane The ReNew Long Puffer $198
5. Summersalt The Colorblock Eco Puffer Jacket $125
6. & Other Stories Padded Nylon Coat $179

Houndstooth Plaid Coat

This is a classic pattern that can be dressed up or thrown over a matching set of sweats. It looks great no matter what.

7. Everlane The Gathered Drape Trench Coat $218
8. Lauren Ralph Lauren via Nordstrom Houndstooth Check Coat $260
9. Avec Les Filles Houndstooth Plaid Peacoat $199, currently on sale for $139

Trench Coat

If you want to build a classic outerwear wardrobe, a trench coat is a must. I even wear mine to school drop-off with my PJs underneath and no one is the wiser.

10. COS Corduroy Trench Coat $285
11. Everlane The Long Mac Coat $228
12. COS Belted Trench Coat $250

Navy Coat

This is the little black dress of coats but better. Look for a rich, true blue navy—one that has a lot of indigo. There’s nothing quite like a well-tailored navy coat in my opinion.

13. COS Belted Trench Coat $250
14. J. Crew Villa Coat in Italian Stadium-Cloth Wool $375, currently on sale for $225
15. Summersalt The Warmest Eco Wool Wrap Coat $185
