Here's Why You Should Be in the Market for a Super-Long Coat This Winter
The Trend Checklist Hub, presented by MATCHESFASHION, is your one-stop-shop for all of the latest labels and trends. From accessories to full collections, stay updated on everything we're stanning this season.
In general, the larger something is, the cozier it is. Think big duvets, blankets, and the like. The size-to-coziness ratio extends to outerwear, too. The bigger the coat, the better it is to throw on and brave the elements in, plus, massive coats cut striking silhouettes, tying your fits together like striking packaging. That’s why long coats are top of our winter outerwear shopping list this season.
These dramatic long coats are so visually interesting that they’re often lifted straight from the runway. Take our selections from Raf Simons or Junya Watanabe which are unchanged from the respective designers’ Fall/Winter 2021 shows.
If you’re looking for something less punchy but no less stylish, look to options like Mihara Yasuhiro’s oversized checked overcoat or JW Anderson’s patchwork take on the military parka. Whether you’re here for ground-brushing high-fashion goodness or for stylish coziness, our 10 best long coats of the season from MATCHESFASHION are sure to provide the goods.
