Fall is officially here, with its beautiful foliage and the smell of pumpkin spice wafting through the air. That means it’s time to switch gears, sartorially speaking, too. Go ahead and dust off your cozy knits and boots, but the pillar of any look this season is a great coat.
While classic outerwear styles like a leather moto jacket or sleek overcoat will never go out of style, investing in a more statement-making coat this season will work overtime for your outfit. Think about it: You can roll out of bed in your sweats to grab coffee, throw on a coat of the moment, and instantly look chic. Deciding what on-trend coat to buy this fall, however, can be a daunting task. But fear not: Simply look to these 6 fashion-forward celebrities for some inspiration.
Stars like Rihanna, Gigi Hadid, and Kate Middleton have all worn distinctive coats over the past few weeks, and they’re ripe for replication. Whether it’s a long puffer coat—Kim Kardashian’s a fan—or a boxy leather jacket that Hailey Bieber can’t stop wearing, there’s a coat here to fit virtually any personal style. And the best part is that there are plenty of affordable fall coats that fit the bill, too. You don’t need an A-list budget to look like an A-lister.
Below, 6 celebrity-approved fall coats to consider—and how to wear them, too.
The Long Puffer Coat
For those particularly crisp fall days, only a puffer will do. It’s like a marshmallow for your body! A muted color with an elongated silhouette looks particularly fashion forward. Kim Kardashian wore her burgundy Balenciaga style with a lilac hoodie and pointed boots.
The Printed Statement Coat
A graphic, printed style does all the work for you. Cardi B wore a newspaper-print Balenciaga coat and let it shine totally on its own. Well, aside from a dramatic hat.
The Shearling Coat
A fuzzy shearling will warm you up better than a pumpkin spice latte. Opt for a classic brown-and-cream color combo. Rihanna leaned into the earth tones and wore her long, shearling-lined trench with a leather Dolce Gabbana bustier and slouchy, baggy trousers.
The Bright Topcoat
A bright, colorful topcoat is an espresso shot for your closet. Kate Middleton wore an emerald green, zip-up style by Erdem complete with a chic Peter Pan collar. She matched it with her sweater, and then finished off the look with classic black trousers.
The Boxy Leather Coat
A leather coat always adds edge to an outfit—but it feels fresh and new in a boxier, cropped fit. Steal a styling tip from model Hailey Bieber, who paired her boxy-shouldered coat with leggings, socks, and sandals for more of an athleisure twist.
The Double-Breasted Overcoat
Slightly menswear-inspired, the double-breasted overcoat makes any outfit feel polished. Look for styles in luxurious wools and cashmeres in particular. Gigi Hadid paired her cream WARDROBE.NYC style with a yellow sweater vest and printed jeans, giving it a more youthful finish.
