TO GREAT LENGTHS: 10 LONG COATS WE LOVE FOR FALL
BY EMILY ROSE PATZ
Embrace the crisp tailoring, playful drama, and welcome warmth of fall’s favorite coats.
The dipping temps don’t have to stifle your style, as designers deliver bold coats and outerwear in elegant virgin wool, faux fur trim, and even shimmering sequins. Chances are you’re set with cropped-at-the-waist looks, so consider fall an opportunity to take on the lengthier silhouettes reigning the runways.
The best part of fall’s trendy long coats? Most pair perfectly with the cold-weather basics you can’t get enough of, so don’t be afraid to pick up a wild card along with one that seamlessly melds into your wardrobe. Bundle up in Balmain’s floor-sweeping military-inspired peacoat or elevate your rainy-day attire with a fashionably functional coat from Hugo Boss. From reimagined staples to photo-ready standouts for the upcoming holiday season, discover our top picks in this must-shop roundup.

If you’re on the hunt for a true vintage coat but can’t seem to find the right pattern and cut, A.P.C. borrows the best of the trending seventies color palette in this sleek update. Dress it up with tailored pants and leather loafers or keep it casual in your favorite jeans.
We salute this regal rendition of the classic military pea coat. With its subtly nipped waist, strong peak lapels, and gleaming double-breasted buttons, you can’t help but stand tall. Pop it over a cozy cashmere turtleneck for a commanding look that easily transitions from day to night.
If your months ahead are buzzing with big holiday events, look to this ankle-length coat in show-stealing sequins. No need to stress over styling because this number refuses to share the spotlight. (And why shouldn’t it?) Simply pair it with black and white basics, and you’re set.
This season, the car coat gets a nod to its original length but with modern updates like an asymmetric closure and of-the-moment laid-back fit. Sure to be a steady closet staple for seasons to come, this style can meet the moment no matter what fall brings your way.
THOM BROWNE
Wool Flannel Down Oversized Double Breasted Coat
LEVEL 2, SAKS FIFTH AVENUE WING

If warmth is your goal but you’re bored with the basic down coat, consider this high-volume take from Thom Browne. Pairing the wow factor of peak lapels with dramatically down-filled wool, this coat delivers maximum style and cold-weather comfort all in one.
Say goodbye to last year’s down coat because you’ll want to swap it with this fresh take from Saint Laurent. With an unexpected shawl collar and striking length, this impressively sleek coat brings a welcome edge to those winter months we spend bundled up.
Gucci embodies the small-town strolls that are so quintessentially fall with this thoughtfully-tailored camel hair coat in the season’s most versatile shade of tan. Wear with your go-to denim and smart leather oxfords or opt for what’s best for walking, like lived-in low tops.
DOLCE&GABBANA
Multi-Pocket Cotton Pea Coat with Faux Fur
LEVEL 2, SAKS FIFTH AVENUE WING
714.668.9142
Make a statement before you get in the door with a shoulder-grazing faux fur collar topping the laid-back 90s silhouette that’s dominating the runways. Toss on over a chunky knit sweater, oversized denim, and lace-up leather boots for effortless edge.
Hermès adds a cool factor to this sophisticated silhouette with artfully placed calfskin leather panels on the front and sleeve. Boasting the luxurious materials and high-style tailoring the fashion house is famed for, this wear-with-everything wool coat is anything but standard.
Fall’s temperamental weather patterns call for a reliable coat that keeps you dry, but why settle? This next-level raincoat from Hugo Boss does the trick in sleek performance fabric and flattering fit. The forecast is sure to tell you when this coat is a good idea, but we don’t blame you if you sport it on sunny days, too.
