The Outerwear Edit: 10 Coats We Want to Splurge On vs. 18 More Affordable Picks

Yusra Siddiqui  Sat, 19 Aug 2023  Who What Wear

Now that fall is on the way, it's time to start thinking about outerwear. We won't get into heavy fur coats yet (We still have a long way to go till winter), but you should currently be making sure you have a trench coat or leather option you can rely on this season. This shouldn't be an impulse buy—you want to pick the right one that's versatile and can be easily worn for a few seasons to come. There are higher-end ones from brands like Toteme that have been worn by our favorite celebrities and exude our luxe dreams, but they do come with a pretty high price point. They're certainly something to aspire to, but in the meantime, I scoured the internet for the best less-expensive outerwear currently on the market, too. Whether you invest in one of the pricier options below or go for one of the budget-friendly outerwear pieces, you won't be disappointed.

Keep scrolling to shop our favorite outerwear for fall, from $2000 to $60. Trust us—after you buy one of the options below, it'll be a staple in your closet for years to come. 

I want this entire look, but I'm primarily focused on this luxe trench coat. 

A whole year later, everyone's still as obsessed with this coat. (I'm not surprised.)

No matter what's in trend, a biker jacket will be something you'll wear for years to come. (I'm still wearing mine from college.)

Hailey Bieber approved.

Leave it to Khaite to make something so cool out of such a classic silhouette. 

Pure class.

Who doesn't love a good leather jacket that's under $100?

I already own a beige trench coat, but this khaki green color is next on my list. Thanks, H&M!

It's like a portable blanket!

Mark my words: this will sell out within the next month. Pixie Market finds go quickly on Shopbop.

This jacket was just made for fall.

I personally can't even believe this is H&M.

I'll happily be wearing this classic jacket all season long. 

I own way too many camel and brown jackets, and it's time I should switch things up with a grey option in my wardrobe. 

This whole set should be on your fall wishlist.

I want September to arrive solely so I can wear this jacket. 

ASOS dropped a ton of outerwear onto Nordstrom this week, and I don't think they're going to be in stock for long.

Just imagine all the styling options.

I couldn't help but include another pristine H&M option.

Get the Chanel look at an Abercrombie budget. 

If the By Malene Birger biker jacket from above is way over budget, this H&M one is a good affordable alt. 

Why only stick to basic coats when you can have one with cargo pockets like these?

Levi's isn't only reliable for great denim.
