Whether you’re a millennial adrift in a sea of new winter fashion or an adept fashionista who knows how to craft the perfect outfit, only to crumble when it comes to winter coats, fear not, there are plenty of stylish options for 2025. While winterwear may not be caught in the quiet luxury chokehold like it was in recent years, there is still definitely a posh element at play in the top winter coat trends for 2025. From elegant scarf coats to tight tailoring, little details are making a big difference and adding an expensive vibe to otherwise simple styles. From practical to trendy, here are the trending winter coat styles you need to look out for in 2025.

Extra warm, long puffer

This coat is not only ultra-trendy, but a great choice for those who want to stay warm. Obviously, everyone wants to be cozy, but for some of us, like those living in the sometimes wildly cold and windy Midwest, it’s not just nice to have a coat that’s super warm; it’s a necessity. With a long puffer, you can be toasty and on trend. It’s also easy to accessorize, and if you don’t like accessorizing, this style makes enough of a statement on its own. Either way, this coat has you covered.

Cropped faux fur jacket

Going in the opposite direction, cropped fur coats and jackets are another trending winter coat that needs to be on your fashion radar. These may not make the most sense for everyday wear, but they make a chic and bold statement for nights out. If you love fur coats but are concerned with looking over the top, there are tons of ways to wear a faux fur coat without looking crazy. For example, opting for a simple neutral-toned one as opposed to leopard print is a great option, as is pairing it with a neutral or all-black outfit. 

An elegant scarf coat

Scarfcoats aren’t just super on-trend, they’re also the epitome of easy elegance. Another bonus, you don’t have to worry about being cold if you forget your scarf. A huge plus for all the forgetful girlies out there. The built-in accessorization also ensures that you will look effortlessly put together. These coats come in all lengths, cuts,, and colors, so take the time to pick one that works with your color palette and season.

Long, tailored wool coat

While winter trends aren’t completely taken over by old money and quiet luxury looks like last year, posh details are still key for looking put-together, especially in the winter. While a loose, wide, or baggy long coat can bring an edgy vibe, long, tailored looks are what’s truly in this winter. Sculpted silhouettes can help elongate your frame and also add timeless, old movie star elegance to your winter style.

Coats with stylish shearling trim

Shearling coats aren’t just for those striving for a manic pixie dream girl look; they’re in style this winter, and incredibly versatile. They can easily bring a funky, retro vibe, especially when paired with bootcut or flare jeans. While it’s most common to see these coats in warm-toned neutrals (which are also very on-trend), it can also be found in gray and back, adding a modern, cool edge to a vintage-inspired look.
