Welcome to The Everyday Edit, a series where BAZAAR editors and fashion insiders share the items—bags, earrings, jeans, and more—that are so good, they’re in daily rotation.
We ask a lot of our everyday coats during the winter. Whether you lean toward puffer jackets or wool wraps, protecting you from the elements is only one requirement. Everyday outerwear should also telegraph your personal style to the world. After all, your coat is the first part of your outfit people see during the winter. Sometimes, it’s the only part.
To guide you toward the best winter outerwear, BAZAAR.com editors gathered 12 everyday coats defining our cold weather wardrobes. For digital director Nikki Ogunnaike, it’s a cashmere trench coat that can be dressed up or down; for associate beauty commerce editor Tiffany Dodson, it’s an oversized slicker with convertible sleeves. Across every selection, you’ll find a perfect balance of practicality and personal style. In other words? All the makings of coats you’ll want to wear day after winter day, just like us.
Panelled Faux Shearling-Trim Coat
Stand Studio
“My favorite thing about transitioning into the winter months is letting a statement coat do all the hard styling work for me. When I’m busy running around I always opt for outerwear that’s equal parts fashionable, functional, and warm and Stand Studios’ luxe coats always provide. Just add a turtleneck and sleek trousers and you’re ready to head out the door.” —Bianca Betancourt, culture editor
The ReNew Channeled Liner
“I have to say, I’m getting so much wear out of my Everlane liner jacket. I fully appreciate why the Frankie Shop version has a cult following, but as someone who stands five foot nothing, I worry that it would swamp me—same with all the vintage army liners on Ebay. The Everlane version has a less exciting backstory, but it fits me perfectly, it looks cool, and it’s the perfect in-between weight for days when it’s not cold but it’s certainly not warm.” —Izzy Grinspan, digital deputy editor
Regenerated Cashmere Trench Coat
“I am a coat junkie, with styles ranging the gamut from a luxe Prada puffer and full length Canada Goose sleeping bag to a Hey, Gang chore coat and vintage leather jacket. But my go-to is this Burberry trench. It’s the perfect all-event coat. I can wear it on dressier occasions or with jeans and a t-shirt, when I’m running errands in a sweatsuit, or going to drinks with friends. 100% worth the investment.” —Nikki Ogunnaike, digital director
Long Belted Trench Coat
“Because the weather has been so finicky in New York, my faux leather trench from Materiel has become my go-to coat this season. It’s surprisingly lightweight yet fully lined throughout, so on chillier days I can layer it with an oversized sweater and be completely comfortable. The fact that it elevates even the most casual looks is a bonus.” —Shelby Ying Hyde, contributing fashion market editor
Charcoal Leopard Coat
Proenza Schouler White Label
“Most of my favorite everyday jackets are oldies but goodies, but one of my consistent go-tos during the fall season is the Proenza Schouler White Label Charcoal Leopard Coat. It has a slightly oversized fit—which I love—with lots of options for customization, as its hood and sleeves are removable, making it easy to double as a stylish vest.” —Tiffany Dodson, associate beauty commerce editor
Kala III Jacket
The Arrivals
“I have another jacket from this label and it’s so warm I knew it was time for a second. This color is perfect. I’m such a denim girl, it’s the ideal daily pairing—just add boots and a chunky knit. It gives all the teddy bear vibes but is surprisingly light.” —Kerry Pieri, digital fashion director
Ultra Light Down Relaxed Coat
“For the past few years, quilted coats have dominated my winter jacket game. They’re an appropriate compromise between comfort and style–without ever having to pull out my dreaded 50-ton puffer jacket. Though I’ve found some of my favorites from vintage stores, Uniqlo also carries some covetable options.” —Chelsey Sanchez, associate news editor
Patent Crinkled-Effect Coat
“Since the temps in New York just dipped below 50, I’ve been able to get away with wearing my purple patent leather trench coat by Helmut Lang for days on end. I found it at a sample sale last year (it was one of those pieces that you discover just as you’re about to call it quits). As soon as I saw it, I thought of a million different ways I could wear it. This Dsquared2 coat is similarly versatile. First off, it boasts a unique color that acts as a statement color and neutral at the same time. I also love the fit and the strong shoulders, because I could be wearing sweatpants and it would still make me feel put together. I love styling it with all black, particularly leather pants or a satin midi skirt to mix textures.” —Katie Intner, assistant beauty editor
Asymmetrical Faux-Fur-Collar Wrap Coat
“This Via Spiga coat is a true daily staple. I love the asymmetrical faux fur collar, the neutral camel color, and how easily you can dress the coat up or down. It pairs nicely with black leather gloves and knee-high boots.” —Mariah Morrison, senior social media editor
Thickened Down Jacket
“I was gifted this famous Amazon coat last year and now I know why it’s so popular. I barely take it off all winter. It’s comfortable, warm, but not suffocatingly so, and it has so. many. pockets. I’m currently five months pregnant and have been loving the side zippers that give the coat a little more space for the growing baby. This will be your new winter staple.” —Jenna Rosenstein, digital beauty director
Stunner Puffer Jacket
“Puffer season in New York is around the corner and this sleek white one from Alo Yoga has become my go-to. The bungee cinched waist and sleeves make the silhouette super flattering.” —Laura Galvan, fashion and luxury commerce manager
Everest Jacket
“This wool coat first made its way into my winter wardrobe around three years ago and it’s been a constant ever since. Cashmere blankets have nothing on this jacket’s softness. It keeps me warm, but the sleeves are thin enough that I can comfortably wear chunky knit sweaters underneath. The creamy oatmeal shade and laid-back tailoring go with just about everything, be it a turtleneck, trousers, and loafers for a day at the office or sweatpants and sneakers when I take my dog to the park. Oh, and the pockets are huge—a plus for someone who doesn’t always want to carry a bag. I can see myself wearing this coat for another four years or more.” —Halie LeSavage, fashion commerce editor
