Autumn is the season of coats. In 2025, designers have done everything to make this piece the centerpiece of your wardrobe. The trends are diverse — from floor-length coats to cropped and fitted versions. A coat easily fits both business and casual styles, so everyone can find their perfect one.
Colors and Prints of the Season
The fall palette features deep and natural tones. In fashion — green (from olive to bright emerald), blue (midnight indigo, blueberry, gray-blue), pink and violet hues, and the beige-brown range — caramel, iced coffee, peach. Classic black, gray, and beige remain timeless choices.
Prints are also in the spotlight. The main one is plaid — in any scale. Stripes are still relevant: vertical ones elongate the silhouette, horizontal ones add volume, and diagonal ones make the look more dynamic. Floral and botanical patterns are in, as well as bold animal prints — zebra, leopard, python. The key rule: balance bright prints with neutral clothing.
Main Coat Styles
Floor-length coat — elegant and sophisticated. Looks great with a belt and heeled shoes.
Short coat — about mid-thigh length. Ideal for early autumn, pairs well with jeans and skirts.
Fitted coat — softly emphasizes the waist without being too tight. Suitable for both dresses and suits
Quilted coat — comfortable, warm, belted or maxi length. Best in matte fabrics.
Cape — a sleeveless outer layer. Easy to wear, especially with slim trousers and boots.
Double-breasted coat — a versatile choice for the office and city life.
Coat with a scarf — practical and stylish, adds layering to the look.
Fur-trimmed coat — fur on the collar or cuffs, usually faux.
Leather coat — minimalist, in dark muted tones.
How to Choose a Coat for Your Body Type and Height
- If your shoulders are wider than your hips, opt for straight cuts with focus at the bottom.
- For an hourglass figure, choose fitted or oversized styles.
- If you have a pear-shaped body, go for masculine cuts that balance proportions.
- Rectangle body types look great in straight or blazer-like silhouettes.
Tall women suit midi and maxi lengths. Petite women should choose coats to the knee or mid-ankle and avoid overly bulky designs.
How to Style a Coat
A coat can be paired easily with most outfits — jeans, suits, dresses, or skirts. For a statement look, go for midi or maxi lengths. Oversized coats pair well with blazers and chunky sweaters while keeping a comfortable fit.
Don’t forget accessories: scarves, shawls, brooches, and gloves. They add a polished and personal touch to your outfit.
