The fall chill is coming, and for that you will need a coat. Luckily, fresh color, modern silhouettes, and dramatic design details are lining the city's window displays. Here are a few coats worthy of the season.

1. Ralter Oversized Coat, $797, aliceandolivia.com

The Ralter's Parisian sensibility is sure to add some je ne sais quoi to any ensemble. The wide, horizontal stripes are a strong graphic element. Drop shoulders, a wide lapel, and a billowy silhouette make this a perfect piece for a tall lady. 

2. Faux Fur Coat, $365, webstore-us.scotch-soda.com

This faux fur coat from Scotch and Soda is a must for the woman who likes a little retro inspiration in her closet. The oversized fit and shawl collar lends a relaxed vibe, while the cream faux fur adds a bit of luxe to a jeans and t-shirt getup. If you're channeling a '70s groupie this fall, you need this coat—faux sure. 

3. Betty Grey Cocoon Style Coat, $370, heidisays.com

A true classic, this cocoon coat is a no-brainer. Soft boucle wool, welt pockets, and a classic notch lapel make this the gold standard of outerwear.

4. Cotton Neoprene Coat, $675, azaleasf.com

Neoprene has made a real splash in the fashion community for the last few seasons, so it makes sense to incorporate it into your fall wardrobe in the form of this number from T by Alexander Wang. Dive in to the boxy but sleek fit and appreciate the finer details of a tapered hemline and a modern collarless look. 

5. Daley Jacket, $498, joie.com

The Daley Jacket checks all of our boxes: utilitarian with a touch of fur and warm yet lightweight. Fatigue jackets have been gracing the racks for seasons now, but the coated cotton of the Daley brings new life to this enduring style. A cinched waist and flat pockets give this military-inspired coat the streamlined sensibility we’ve been looking for. 

6. Photo Print Coat, $269, webstore-us.scotch-soda.com

The Photo Print Coat adds a much needed freshness to the dark styling of autumn. A basic oversized silhouette with drop shoulders is brought to life with a feminine color pallet of rose, plum, and grey and a delicate leaf-vein pattern. This coat walks the line between statement piece and soft refinement, and is destined for the closets of en vogue ladies. 

7. Aran Islands Coat, $396, margaretoleary.com

The Aran Islands Coat represents a sub-sect of outerwear that is beyond ideal: the sweater coat. Half sweater, half coat, this piece is cozy, breathable, and possesses elegant movement. The dense knit and full-length lapel makes for a perfect topper for casual wear, but also offers elegance when transitioned to a night out. Whether it is top of the mornin’ to ya, or bottom of the 9th, this sweater coat will fit in. 

8. Throw On Jacket, $255, webstore-us.scotch-soda.com

While the Throw On Jacket’s shape may not break new ground, this florescent red-orange shade does. A classic cocoon-style coat is amped up with a shocking dose of "Mars red" color, as it is aptly called on the site. If you tire of the greys and blacks of the fall season, this jacket is sure to make you, and all that surround, wide awake!

9. Wool Black Watch Plaid Zip-Front Poncho, $398,brooksbrothers.com

The poncho is back in a big way this year, and we find it extra inviting done in a classic forest and navy tartan. To further excite, Brooks Brothers has added fringe to the hemline, reminiscent of a faithful plaid scarf. A zip front makes for easy in-and-out, unlike the typical poncho. Even if you aren’t headed to the Scottish games, this plaid poncho adds a sense of fun to any look. 

10. Liezel Brushed Wool Zip Up Coat, $129,azaleasf.com

This coat highlights the emerging fall trend of pastels. Powder blue may not seem on point for autumn, but this subtle shade adds a dreamy softness to all ensembles. Equal parts 1960’s mod and modern day, this brushed baby blue number with its exposed zipper spans the decades and the styles. 

11. Cohen Flare Military Coat, $550,aliceandolivia.com

Let’s end where we began, with feminine elegance and Alice and Olivia. The full skirt, fitted bodice,and military-inspired details of this coat make for a glamorous juxtaposition. A figure flaunting shape accentuates a small waist and curves, while the covered buttons and high neckline lend a Victorian sensibility. Keep warm and stylish at your next gallery opening or night at the opera.
