Shopping vintage is becoming more and more popular as the years go by, and it's easy to see why. Not only is it good for your bank account, but it's also great for the environment, and — let's be honest — there's just nothing quite like the thrill of finding that piece you fell in love with many seasons ago. . . at a fraction of its original price. Thrifting is also great when you're looking to gift a one-of-a-kind piece to a special someone [1], so why not give it a go this holiday season? As it turns out, online vintage shops are especially great for outerwear around this time of year, and we've found some truly unique options that the fashionista in your life will fall head over heels for.
From a glorious 1980s Nina Ricci coat in the most beautiful holiday red to a classic Chanel bouclé coat from the Fall/Winter 2010 collection, we've rounded up the coolest vintage coats we could find — and we'd wear them in a heartbeat. There's a Karen Walker trench that features gorgeous balloon sleeves, a Fendi quilted coat that would give Kylie Jenner a run for her money [2], and a Saint Laurent teddy coat that we'd just love to snuggle in. Ahead, read on to have a browse through some truly fabulous vintage coats.
