A big trend that we’ve been seeing, with the development of the colder weather, is statement jackets - for men and women. A variety of women’s outerwear is designed to become the outfit, not just cover it up. A good example of this is the rise of trench coats like the Vena Cava dark green trench, and the increasing popularity of structured coats like Betsey Johnson’s Legomutton Coat.

The puffy and oversized jacket trend has been pushed to the wayside with the climb of these structured jackets. This trend amplifies your perfect structure and shape, which is ultimately way more flattering than an inflated coat.

These fitted jackets are designed in a large variety to fit everyone’s ideal fashion style. Some really popular styles right now are patterned coats, like Betsey Johnson’s Peplum Jacket.

Another outwear trend is the pea coat - this has been around for a while and doesn’t seem to be leaving us anytime soon. The pea coat is flattering and can be designed to contain warmth - which all of us appreciate in a winter coat! A few of my favorite pea coat designs are the Howell Pea Coat by Wilfred/Artizia, the Pins and Needles Faux Fur Peacoat from Urban Outfitters, and even the grey wool double breasted pea coat for men by Calvin Klein.
