Delightful Coats and Trendy Jackets for Winter - What to Choose in the AW 21/22 Season?

Fashionable outerwear for autumn and winter in the 2021/2022 season on the one hand draws on trends we already know from the past, and on the other hand - refers to classic wardrobe elements, and even to... inspirations from men's styles! This winter, faux fur, suede coats, down jackets in specific forms, and many other proposals will definitely be in vogue, among which you will surely find something for yourself! If you still have no idea what fashionable winter coats to add to your wardrobe or which jacket models will give your outfits a unique character, then we invite you to read our guide on fashionable outerwear, perfect for both rather chilly and truly frosty weather. Get inspired by the tips below and choose your own version of the perfect, fashionable winter jacket!

Faux fur and plush coats - two warm hits that will keep you cozy!

One of the most fashionable trends this season is... faux fur! No matter whether you choose a boxy, oversized cut or a fitted, waist-cinching style - you can be sure you'll look fashionable! One of the most interesting proposals, seen both on the streets and on world runways, is short-pile faux fur, in leopard spots or stripes imitating a zebra pattern. It is important, however, to choose artificial materials for this type of fashionable outerwear - the world of designers is increasingly abandoning natural furs - so let's follow suit, for ecology and for the good of animals!

Another interesting variation of the aforementioned fur is plush coats - necessarily in warm autumn colors and necessarily in long, eye-catching versions. Plush coats are incredibly pleasant to the touch, have a noticeable material texture, pleasantly envelop the body, and look as if you've just stepped off a fashion designer's runway. A plush coat will work well both in a simple cut that somewhat conceals the figure (it's good then to emphasize the legs with narrow shoes or classic tights - such as LUCIDO tights from Lores). Some models, on the other hand, have ties at the waist - so if you like to emphasize this part of your figure, opt for this variant!

A leather or suede coat is synonymous with elegance - how to style them?

Another suggestion among fashionable winter coats are suede or leather variants, which - contrary to appearances - suit both elegant and... sporty outfits (at least according to the latest trends promoted by world fashion capitals). What to pair such fashionable winter coats with?

• A leather coat with a belt and midi length will actually look great with both a pencil dress, long-heeled boots, and eye-catching jewelry, as well as with a voluminous, flared skirt, boho-style ankle boots, and a large, wool scarf draped nonchalantly over the shoulders and back. Importantly, if you choose a dark leather coat, you can also go wild with colorful accessories - however, if you opt for a leather coat in an intense shade (a trend inspired by true high fashion), then choose subdued accessories - classic tights or even a simple-cut hat will be the best option.
• A suede coat is a slightly "softer" version of the trend we mentioned. Because this material does not reflect light, it does not attract attention to the same extent as leather (and even less so patent leather). A suede coat, contrary to appearances, will therefore even suit an "elegant" tracksuit set, with trousers and a sweatshirt in a single color, but also classic winter stylizations with wool dresses, long skirts, or narrow jeans paired with ankle boots or knee-high boots.

Aviator jacket or sheepskin coat - a versatile option with a relaxed character

When it comes to fashionable winter jackets, aviator jackets, inspired by the men's cut of this garment, can certainly be distinguished among them. They usually have an oversized form, but are not too long, which means the legs remain exposed. They are made of artificial or real leather, effectively protecting against wind and cold. They also have high collars and straps at the bottom, allowing you to adjust the width of the garment to your figure. An aviator jacket is ideal for heavy shoes with "tractor" soles, in the style of motorcycle boots or expressive high boots. You can wear it both everyday and for special occasions, because with shimmering tights and a lingerie-style, satin dress, it will create an unconventional yet stunning look!

A certain variation on aviator jackets is a longer sheepskin coat - also made of leather or suede, lined with fluffy, insulating material. Wear this style with long boots or, conversely, with sporty ankle boots on a thick, rubber sole, to play with fashion a bit and fit in with the latest trends. A sheepskin coat will not only attract attention but will also perfectly warm you up on even the coldest and frostiest days!

Insulated jacket and down coat are not just for the slopes!

It might seem at first glance that fashionable winter jackets do not come in down, feather, or other insulated versions – such outerwear is almost exclusively found… on ski slopes. However, this is a complete myth! Down jackets and down coats have been on runways and streets for several seasons – in various forms and styles. Which of them best fit this year's trends?

• If a down jacket is to be a fashionable accessory, it’s worth choosing one in an oversized, almost egg-shaped form – quite narrow at the shoulders and around the knees, and wide in the middle. Such a style may seem odd at first, but pairing it with narrow trousers or black leggings and expressive ankle boots will give the outfit a whole new dimension!
• On the other fashion extreme, we have the down coat – it’s worth noting that it should be equipped with a belt emphasizing the waist. Such styles were popular around 2008-2010, but as we know, trends always return – and a down coat with a belt, large collar, and quilting is one of them! You can pair it with high boots and an elegant hat or soft wool-lined ankle boots and a bobble hat – it will look perfect in any of these editions!

There are really many fashionable styles and coats for winter – we are sure that you will choose something for yourself from among them and this season you will let yourself be carried away by the latest trends in your own unique way!
