Was there ever a better year to invest in an It coat? If you’re unacquainted with the term, allow me to explain. Much like the It bag, it’s all about the wow factor, whether the fashion crowd is going nuts for it, and whether street style stars are wearing it. Despite the fact that street style hasn’t been the same this year, with many fashion weeks going digital, we’ve still managed to get our fashion detective hats on and find the coolest pieces of outerwear around right now. Below, you’ll find a list of 17 different coats we, and the rest of the fashion world, are loving right now. Some you won’t be surprised at—such as Saks Potts’s brightly coloured fur-lined coats that have been a hit for a few seasons and the latest quilted coat from Totême, as seen on our very own Monikh. But then, there’s also the more unassuming pieces, such as Arket‘s puffer and minimalist brand Kassl Editions’s dressing gown–esque coat. I’ve got my eye on the Prada belted leather puffer, which is very autumn/winter 2020 but that I could also see in my wardrobe for a long time. Ultimately, though, it’s the Gabriela Hearst technicolour dream coat that has won me over. The question is, Which one will you go for? Keep scrolling to see the ones we rate for 2020.
