Coat trends you need to follow this winter

Open your wardrobe - or at least remember the last time you did it. Do you feel like what you see lacks variety? Or is it somehow dull and uninteresting? Well, the reason might be that the clothes you see are running out of fashion. And it is completely normal - nowadays trends change with the blink of an eye, so it can be quite hard to stay in fashion. The good news is that you found this article and it may as well solve some of your fashion problems. Especially when it comes to coats.

Fashion in 2022 has seen incredible trends - clothes went from minimal and monochrome to crazy, Y2K inspired pop attire. Which is understandable - as trends are established, there are always fashion “leaders” that refuse to accept the trend and establish a new one, contrary to the previous. That’s partially how the fashion world has been evolving since the dawn of existence. But today we will not be talking about fashion trends. Rather, we will show you the in-season coat trends that will save your wardrobe from the dullness. Who knows, you might even have some of them already.

Maxi Coats

2022 has been the year of maximalism. Big pants, oversized hoodies and maxi coats were only some of the items that fell into the limelight of fashion influencers. They are comfortable, warm and extremely fashionable. The best part is that regardless of whether your style leans more into the casual or into the preppy side, a maxi coat will be your best friend. Pair with a knee-high boot or a bulky sneaker and you’re good to go!

Trench Coats

The biggest item we saw in Fall and that we will continue seeing in Winter was the trench coat. Creamy beige and somewhat vintage-looking, it was the perfect homage to the 70s and 80s fashion, but with a modern twist. Trench coats were an absolute staple in Fall fashion. And brands decided to experiment with the classic silhouette by pairing it with alternative fabrics like leather for an edgier and Berlin-inspired feel. If you still haven’t bought one, now is your chance to add some spice to your outfits and pick the trench coat of your dreams.

Afghans

If you have been on TikTok, you’ve most likely seen all of the fashionistas that pair Afghan coats with everyday outfits for an added bizazz. And why wouldn’t they? Apart from being extremely stylish with their furry ends, Afghans are warm and will keep you cosy and fashionable in the winter months. Opt for a shorter one for a smarter look or go straight for the heel-length Afghan for a true dramatic look. Either way, your outfit will transport you back to the 70s and make you feel like a true flower child.

Bombers

For those of you that feel like such a level of experimentation is too much, you are in luck! Bombers are officially back in style. But this time, they are back not only in their true nylon and cotton form, but also in fluffy boucle fabric. Now more than ever, people demand comfort and style from their clothes and bombers provide the perfect basis for those requirements to meet. The classic silhouette paired with the warm fabric and a funky print makes it the star of any outfit. So, if you don’t have one already, what are you waiting for?

Longline Leather Coats

We talked about maxi coats, but we never mentioned leather coats and their significance. This coat went in style in the early spring months of 2022 and continues to reign to this day, even though it may seem to be too cold of a jacket for this time of year. The longline leather has the classic silhouette of the maxi coat, but with the added edginess of the leather jacket. It makes you feel like you can crush every task ahead of you, and paired with a fully black outfit, it will surely help you kick ass as you exit the Matrix.

Faux Fur Coats

Probably an all-time favourite, the fur coat has once again made its comeback! Think glamour, drama, extravagance - the fur coat has it all and more. It is a fun way to spice up your everyday outfit, or to add a layer of drama to your evening one. Pair it with a mini dress for a true starlet feeling or wear it with jeans and a sweater - regardless of how you style it, you will be the start of the day. And the best part? An added layer of warmth to any outfit.
