With so many styles—car coat, trench, parka, cape, poncho and more—in jaw-dropping fabrics, colors and patterns, some of us (you know who you are) own a lovingly curated collection of coats and jackets.
Even if you’re wearing the clothes you slept in, just toss on a chic coat and you’re ready to face the world in style. Better yet, this wardrobe basic is oh so forgiving, able to camouflage imperfections—like those extra pounds after weeks of holiday feasting.
Clearing out your closet to make room for a new addition? Consider donating your gently worn outerwear to a local coat drive.
