Peacoats are a timeless classic, they never go out of style. No matter where you live, having a classic peacoat is a sustainable investment in your capsule closet. Go for a neutral color that goes with everything if color coordination is important to you.
Although, plaids and colors are trending more and more this year. Why not have fun with your jacket? It doesn't have to match everything if it goes over your clothes anyways.
8 Vests
Vests have officially made a comeback, and it makes sense they are useful. For folks who live in cold climates, a vest might be your inside addition to staying warm while working. While in warmer climates, a vest is a good solution for wearing a sweater, and a vest over for a little extra warmth.
Vests can be warm with sweaters, and oversized button-downs to be a good addition to this year's looks.
7 Blazer Peacoat
Blazers are probably this year's biggest trend in terms of jackets, including creative materials and colors. If you are going to buy a new peacoat, check out the blazer-style ones that look like blazers but offer more warmth. Buy a size up to be able to layer if you live in a cold climate.
6 Leather Blazer Jacket
Yep, all types of blazers are in and the leather (pleather) blazer jackets are this season's go-to style for (p)leather jackets. The pleather blazer is really cool because you can style it any way that you might wear a blazer, opposed to limiting yourself to outfits that you would normally wear a leather jacket. it is the best of both worlds and adds a little elegance to a classically edgy look.

This jacket is for the cold climate folks, you know that sometimes in the dead of winter there just isn't another option. Get a parka, but make it fashion by finding one with trendy details like a mate coating, neutral tones opposed to black or blue, and a faux fur lining opposed to a fuzzy one.
3 Trench Coat
Trench coats are another timeless classic for any climate. Buy an oversized one to be able to layer if you live in a cold place, and it is the perfect cold combat for folks in warmer climates.

2 Faux Fur
