Puffer

A weekend-wear favorite, a puffy coat can feel sporty – but that doesn’t mean it should be reserved for the slopes alone. Try it with a sweater and jeans or style with slacks and a sweater for an athleisure-chic vibe.

Belted

A classic wool coat with a twist – otherwise known as those belted “robe” coats – are easy to get on board with and even easier to style. Try pulling it just a bit off the shoulder for a runway-inspired look.
