These chic coats will keep you warm and on-trend as the weather gets cooler

The best thing about fall fashion? Definitely the coats. A beautifully constructed coat completes your outfit like the proverbial cherry on top. It’s just not fall without a good coat and this season, you’ll find a lot of oversized styles, cocoon shapes, details like mixed materials and buckles, and a variety of soft, plush fabrics.
