As temperatures plummet, it’s hard to get excited about your trusty black sleeping-bag jacket. Sure, it’s warm, but it certainly doesn’t do justice to whatever awesome outfit you’re wearing underneath. The season’s chic coat trends can either complete a look or take it to the next level. Take short puffer jackets, which look as cool atop a fit-and-flare dress and tights as they do paired with athleisure. Updated plaid prints feel classic, but can steer preppy, rugged or polished. Texture is also having a major moment: Swap out your standard pea coat for a faux fur teddy-esque topper, or channel your inner Kate Moss in a fuzzy leopard piece.
