One of winter’s top trends—the bold, oversize coat—really just involves tweaks to the coat styles you’ve had forever (hi, parkas and puffers).
Here, seven larger-than-life outerwear looks that are worth investing in now, and will look great through 2030 and beyond.
If there’s one pattern that’s dominating this season, it’s plaid. But in reality, it’s a trend that will always stick around—especially in an oversize shearling iteration.

The beauty of a wrap-style coat is that it brings instant sophistication. This season, invest in a colorful pick to really nail the bold trend.

A peacoat or topcoat will always be a staple, but we’re so feeling the XL styles this winter. Bonus points for eye-catching hues.

While the puffer coat has been around for years (this writer totally remembers the popular North Face iterations in high school), it’s the bulkier styles that are sweeping the fashion elite right now.
Get the look: Tna puffer ($228); Levi’s jeans ($65); Dr. Martens boots ($140)
How could you not want to step out in what’s essentially a cozy blanket?

Tweed is timeless (thanks, Coco Chanel) and adds polish to whatever you’re wearing. Mix and match with wardrobe staples like jeans and button-ups.
Get the look: IRO coat ($773); Ann Taylor jeans ($89); J.Crew shirt ($78); MICHAEL Michael Kors boots ($150)
You may live in your moto jacket during fall to give off that sleek, “downtown” feel, but a bigger leather coat is worth the investment to keep you warm during the winter months as well.
