Dress Coats That Belong In Your Winter Wardrobe
Keep warm, look cool.
Welcome to The Essentials, our weekly series highlighting a must-have classic, key to building a timeless, pulled-together closet.
Fluffy down-filled jackets are ideal for trekking around in sub-zero temps, but elevated outerwear is key for dressier occasions. Don't let your coat choice remain an afterthought: Invest in a classic black tuxedo-style dress coat, or play with trendy options that are sure to impress. Have fun with faux furs, embellishments, and color-contrasting waist belts. Ahead, we've got 10 dress coats to add to your winter wardrobe now.
Classic as they come, this navy cinched-waist jacket will look polished with jeans and a tee or left open over a knit dress and boots.
This jacket is crafted from double-cloth wool to keep you warm in less-than-ideal cold weather temps.
A vibrant zebra print, satin lining, and a detachable belt makes this coat the perfect dressy outer layer for your favorite little black dress.
The floral embroidered pattern gives this jacket a special vintage feel.
This fawn-inspired faux fur jacket will surely stand out in a sea of plain black overcoats.
For those who prefer a bit of edge, this cool check coat still reads sophisticated thanks to a form-fitted silhouette.
No coat rings in the holiday season more appropriately than this jewel-encrusted collar version.
This plaid coat's A-line silhouette marries perfectly with a fuller skirt or dress peaking out underneath.
