Autumn 2018's Biggest Coat Trends Are So Good, You Won't Be Able to Resist Them

As POPSUGAR editors, we independently select and write about stuff we love and think you'll like too. If you buy a product we have recommended, we may receive affiliate commission, which in turn supports our work.

As the blue skies start to turn grey, we can always take comfort in the idea that we'll soon get to wrap up in cosy coats. Sure, it might be sad to say goodbye to sunny days, but there's always a way to repurpose your favourite Summer staples . . . and it all starts with a great outerwear piece.

This Autumn, simple and elegant pieces are soaring to the top of our hotlist, closely followed by high-gloss coats and other statement-making options. Ahead, take a closer look at the nine flattering trends you'll be lusting after this season, and prepare for an eye-catching wardrobe that's actually more comfortable than ever.
