As a seasoned Fashion Month attendee, I love the Fall collections because they feature great, easy-to-replicate street-style looks—and this season was no different. Showgoers kept warm by layering in several of the season's biggest coat trends.

Every editor knows the coat is the outfit during the winter months and a sentiment that Marie Claire’s editor-in-chief, Nikki Ogunnaike, swears by alongside the many fashion insiders who descended upon New York shows this season. Options ranged from slouchy wrap coats to surprisingly chic puffers to maximalist fur coats perfectly styled with other ‘70s-inspired pieces. Quilted and leather styles were popular outside Sandy Liang and Coach, many perfect for transitioning into early spring temperatures.

Faux Fur Coats

woman in faux-fur coat — Lush faux-fur coats were by the far the most popular style at Fashion Week this year.

Shaggy, faux-fur coats were far and away the biggest trend on the street this season. Call it the final boss in the resurgence of the boho fashion trend: they were the must-have piece.

Launchmetrics Spotlight — Shearling-lined aviator-style jackets are the cold weather answer to the bomber jackets that were popular this fall.

Wrap Coats

Speaking of cozy-feeling coats, it doesn't get more comfortable than a traditional wrap coat. Most often made from cashmere or wool, they're popular for their soft silhouettes and endless versatility.

Fringe-Lined Overcoats

Eva Chen — Boho is back, so it makes sense that fringe-lined overcoats were everywhere.

If you love the look of a faux-fur jacket but don't want to go all the way, consider a '70s-inspired shearling-lined overcoat. It's a look Taylor Swift has already co-signed, not once but twice.

Elevated Puffers

Launchmerics Spotlight — Puffers got the cool-girl treatment this season with new shapes and design details.

Puffers got a much-needed upgrade this season. They're necessary for combatting snowy temperatures but don't need to be boring. Look for options that come with corseted details and overly cozy silhouettes.

Animal Printed Jackets

Leopard print has been a major trend for a while now, and the fashion set proved that it will hang around for a few seasons longer. This is probably because the printed coat trend is one of the best ways to spice up an all-black ensemble.

Quilted Coats

Alyssa Coscarelli — Sweet-feeling quilted coats are perfect for transitioning into spring weather.

Quilted coats are the perfect winter jacket for transitioning into spring. They're warm when worn over chunky knits, but they would also work just as well layered over a tee. Look for sweet details like exaggerated collars or a checkered print to offset the boxier shape.

Cape Coats

Cape coats are a trend that you can shop now and wear in a year. While street stylers opted for them outside of the shows, so did the runways. Think: Calvin Klein's dreamy layers.
