In our wardrobe, there are certain pieces that are indispensable.
While in summer we cherish our little floral dresses, in winter it’s the coat that we adore. Because it inevitably keeps us warm, but also because if chosen well, it stands on its own. And let’s not forget that it’s a piece we wear almost daily. For all these reasons, the coat is a winter wardrobe staple. But from one season to the next, the coat evolves. Trends shape the contours of the new fashionable coats. As a result, as the cold season approaches, we find ourselves a bit lost in the “embarrassment” of choice. But rest assured, the trends are here to guide us. And no need to open 10 Google tabs to find the coat to invest in this winter. We’ve gathered everything in this article by putting together a list of the 5 trendy coats for fall/winter 2023.
The fluffy coat
The fluffy coat aka the faux fur coat rises from the ashes this winter season. But far from the clichés that have stuck to it, this cozy coat returns in a more colorful, and even warmer form. While it is still warm and comfortable, it is more elegant, boasts stunning cuts, and aims to be bold, as seen with Bottega Venetta and its oversized fluffy coat in pistachio color.
In terms of style, we see 3 ways to wear the furry coat. The first is in an oversized way, meaning ample and wide. For that, opt for an XXL version of the coat. You can also wear your coat by highlighting colors. And this year, they are a must. Red, royal blue, pink, or even green, if you love colors, go for it. Conversely, if exuberance scares you, know that the faux fur coat can also be worn in a classic way. Choose it in light tones, and with a straight cut that recalls classic codes.


The quilted jacket
In her article, Pauline decodes the khaki quilted jacket, and she highlights 3 ways to wear the quilted jacket with style:
- Casual look: in this version, we opt for a jacket that is quite fitted, or slightly oversized. Paired with a turtleneck, ¾ jeans, and a pair of black derbies, you’ll showcase a chic yet relaxed style. For a bit more depth, you can replace your turtleneck with a striped shirt.
- Comfy look: an ample cut is preferred. As for the rest, Pauline notes that “everything is allowed, as long as you create a beautiful harmony of colors to highlight the jacket, which is the standout piece of the outfit.”
- Vintage look: corduroy pants, a pair of Dr. Martens, a white shirt shopped on Vinted… Nothing goes better with your quilted jacket than this vintage combination.


The scarf coat
This is probably the coat of the year that we expected the least. Yet, the “scarf jacket” trend has swept like a tidal wave of style across Instagram, ranking as the top jacket of winter. A popularity that we owe in part to the minimalist brand Totême. To describe it, the scarf coat is a 2-in-1 jacket that combines a coat and a scarf. While it stands out for its practicality, it’s its avant-garde aesthetic that has made it an “it-coat.”
The Scarf Jacket has a naturally elegant drape. It’s a coat that pairs very well with straight pants and a pair of loafers or low sneakers like the Samba Sneakers.

The brown leather jacket
The leather jacket has always been a timeless piece in the women’s wardrobe, summer or winter. But this year, this adventurous jacket has been revamped, and luxury fashion houses have not hesitated to give it a new lease on life, much to the delight of vintage souls. It’s under a weathered effect that the brown leather jacket rises from its ashes. Whether short, long, oversized, or fitted, it is brown and showcases a retro look.
Then, in terms of style, you can dare to go for the total leather look by pairing it with other leather pieces like pants or a skirt. Or you can play with materials and textures by pairing your jacket with knitwear, a fitted dress, flared jeans, etc.
The leather jacket remains a timeless piece. Whatever your stylistic choice, it will match your outfit. And for winter, be sure to choose one that is padded and warm!


The long coat
Long, oversized, (very) comforting, timeless. That’s how we could describe the long coat or “manteau long”. And that’s all it takes to characterize the perfect winter coat. That’s why it finds itself once again on the podium of the most sought-after coats of winter 2023.
Choose it belted, in a very long version (to the ankle) or mid-calf, in neutral colors or in a pop shade. The options for the long coat are numerous. Nevertheless, it’s a coat that remains “easy” to wear due to its natural elegance and length. Wear it during the day with a pair of sneakers and a turtleneck. For the evening, opt for a pair of heels and fluid pants. It adapts to almost all situations.
