    The Fall Coat Edit: What to Wear with Every Kind of Outfit

    Choose an outfit. Change your top. Internally debate which shoe goes best. Change your top again. It’s not until the final mirror check that you realize you forgot to factor a coat into this whole situation—which, in some cases (parkas, puffers, peacoats), will ruin the look you just spent the last 10 minutes on.

    We know the struggle. So this fall, we decided to assemble an outerwear cheat sheet. These are the best options to zip, fasten, layer, or drape, depending on what you’ve got on underneath.

    BEST FOR:

    Wide-Leg Pants

    You want something that either hits high on the hip (the impossibly cool sherpa-collar leather jacket from our September G. Label drop comes to mind) or falls around your shins, like this chic wool coat. What you don’t want is something that hovers awkwardly in the middle—it’ll interrupt the elongating A-line silhouette of the pants.

    BEST FOR:

    Suiting

    If you’re in a suit or even just a blazer and jeans, reach for an overcoat that’s equally tailored. Ideally, it’s done in a substantial fabric like heavyweight wool or felt, which will give the relaxed cut some structure. As for the color? You’ll never go wrong with a neutral (what that means, exactly, is for you to decide).

    A Miniskirt

    Every fall, we’re reminded that the mini—worn with socks and loafers or bare-legged with knee-high boots—is truly a moment. Up the ante with a double-breasted peacoat that hits right at the hem of the skirt or a strong-shouldered plaid number that plays with proportion.

    Black Tie

    Lean into the elegance of an evening gown with a cropped jacket that can be draped over your shoulders like a cape. (The cascading collar and silver hardware on Totême’s has landed it on multiple editors’ wish lists.) Other solid options: a satin-crepe topper or a burgundy stole draped gently around your shoulders.

    A Midlength Hem

    While there’s no one-size-fits-all advice for how to stay warm while in a skirt or dress, we will say this: A curved-sleeve silhouette complements an elegant LBD, a quilted shell offsets a whimsical skirt nicely, and a short shearling jacket and a cozy tartan coat are two pieces you’ll tap all season long.
