Best Aviator Jacket

Pixie Market Nash Oversized Leather Bomber Jacket

"Fall is unofficially known as leather jacket season, and this oversize version from Pixie Market is swoon-worthy. It has a modern yet vintage-inspired silhouette that makes it practically timeless, and since it's also fully lined, I never have to sacrifice function for fashion. I plan on pairing it with my favorite high-waist jeans along with a number of seasonal dresses until the first signs of snowfall." —Tiffany Dodson, associate beauty commerce editor

Best Car Coat

Burberry Mid-Length Camden Heritage Car Coat

"Coats are really something I like to invest in, especially classic styles that get better with age and last forever. Behold: the Burberry car coat. It's one of my favorite pieces in my wardrobe and is the perfect silhouette with a chic fall suiting look, or jeans, a sweater, and Chelsea boots. Not to mention, the silhouette is breathable for warmer days, yet roomy enough to pile on warmer sweaters and extra jackets underneath when the temperate drops. It’s so versatile and worth the splurge; this heritage style is forever! " —Jaclyn Alexandra Cohen, senior fashion and accessories editor

Best Embellished Coat

Simone Rocha Embellished Leather Jacket

"Every time the colder weather rolls around, I start to fantasize about a life in which all my outerwear is Simone Rocha. I’ve had this long embellished leather jacket on my mind since I saw it walk the runway. The breast pocket details with faux pearls and crystals are just so weird and sexy in a way that’s so distinctly Simone. It feels like something I would doodle in a notebook as a kid or see illustrated in a fairytale book or find on Alexa Chung—who of course owns the coat and torments me with each post she makes in it." —Tara Gonzalez, senior fashion editor

Sizes: S–L

Color: Black

Best Scarf Coat

Helsa Oversized Coat With Detachable Scarf

"I've always had a special thing for longline, double-breasted wool coats. I picked out this one from Elsa Hosk's line Helsa a few weeks ago and now wonder how I ever got through the cold months without it. It's warm but not heavy, and it comes with deep pockets and removable shoulder pads for a more relaxed look. The detachable, coordinating scarf is extra-wide and almost as long as the coat. Throwing the scarf over one shoulder is cozily dramatic—a combination I never knew I needed." —Halie LeSavage, fashion commerce editor

Sizes: XXS–XL

Color: Ivory

5

Best Peacoat

Officine Générale Amir Coat

Now 55% Off

"I bought a version of the same elongated peacoat style a couple of years ago. I love that it blends the casualness of a utilitarian coat with a luxe and dressier fabrication—it's more decked out than on the dock. I'll wear it on the weekend with a big camel turtleneck sweater and jeans, but also with a fab navy suit and tie look." —Miguel Enamorado, accessories director

6

Best Leather Trench Coat

KRIS MARAN Vegan Leather Trench Coat

"I have a serious trench coat addiction, and recently added a beautiful vegan leather piece by Ukrainian designer duo Kris Marán to my wardrobe. Their designs are always the perfect balance between romantic and ultra-sleek, and this coat is proof. I have it in navy, but they also just released a crisp white version that's perfect for winter." —Rosa Sanchez, senior news editor

Sizes: XS–XL

Colors: Navy, white

Best Reversible Coat

Dries Van Noten Restonas Oversize Reversible Coat

"This reversible coat from Dries Van Noten is a two-in-one winter dream. I love the idea of being able to style it for day or night and though it's pragmatic, it's wildly chic too." —Brooke Bobb, fashion news director

8

Best Trench Coat

Khaite The Rennie Trench

"There’s a reason trench coats are a wardrobe staple every fall and winter, and it’s because they have an uncanny ability to tie off an outfit with a polished and elegant finish that few other outerwear options can manage. My Khaite trench—my closet’s Holy Grail item—is one of these few. Though the above coat isn’t the exact trench that I own, it shares plenty of the same distinct features that make Khaite one of the best womenswear brands today." —Chelsey Sanchez, digital associate editor

9

Best Oversize Coat

Frankie Shop Anya Oversized Coat

"I could be wearing pajamas under this coat, and still feel put-together. It's my favorite piece to layer over anything, and it's warm enough to combat icy winds." —Nicole Tripodis, assistant fashion editor

Sizes: XS–L

Best Cashmere Coat

The Row Priske Coat

"A lot has been said about the power of red lipstick. What about the power of a lipstick red coat? This collarless cashmere jacket has lived rent-free on my fall moodboard since it came down the runway in Paris. For purely scientific purposes, I hope to test whether its bright hue and cuddly cashmere feels even better to wear." —Halie LeSavage, fashion commerce editor

Sizes: XS–XL

Colors: Lipstick, fern, brown
