1. A lightweight puffer coat if it's not yet down parka weather yet and you want to enjoy a stroll in the autumn sunshine without sweating your face off.
Promising review: "A few days before my vacation to Yosemite it was looking like bad weather was rolling in and it would be unseasonably cold. I ordered this packable coat with Prime in time for my trip and it completely saved my butt several times. It was comfortable and warm for hiking in 40-degree weather, fit nicely in my bag when it wasn’t needed and kept me dry though several down pours and waterfall mist trails. Thumbs up!" —Mandy M.
"I bought this jacket for fall camping. It was cheap and lightweight. As it turns out, I LOVE IT! It is the perfect fall/winter/early spring, go-anywhere jacket! Keeps me warm, but not overly hot. I hate hoods because they mess up your hair, but this is so light and 'satiny' that it doesn’t mess up your hair at all. So impressed!!!" —C. Adkins

2. A wool wrap fall coat available in gorgeous plaid patterns that scream "FALL" even more than PSLs and crunchy leaves on the sidewalk... OK, maybe not more, but just as much.
Promising review: "Love love love this coat. I got so many compliments. I’m usually a 12 and they suggested a 2XL but after reading the reviews I got a large and it worked perfectly. The arms are not too tight at all. The back is shorter which I love, I hate to take my coat off when driving and this is a perfect hop out of the car and go coat!" —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $93.90+ (available in sizes 2XS–3XL and 11 styles).
3. An oversized waterfall coat that falls open with an absolutely effortless chic, exposing your cute layers underneath for when the temperature hasn't dipped below to "zip all the way up" weather.
Get it from Boohoo for $34 (available in sizes L–4XL and two colors).
4. A bestselling Free People quilted coat somehow giving off slouchy, lived-in vibes and impossible style at the same time, AND keeping you warm through the chilliest of autumn evenings.
Promising review: "This is by far my most beloved coat in my entire closet. The color is super versatile and it feels like I'm wrapped in a comforter when I wear it. It's so comfortable but the quilting makes it feel more stylish even though it feels like you rolled out of bed (in a good way). I will literally protect this coat with my life and pray it makes it until I'm old and grey. This does run on the bigger side!" —Ali Faccenda
"Just obsessed how it elevates simple outfits! So trendy which is so nice! This jacket will NEVER go out of style for sure ✨ and of course it's pretty cozy, perfect for chilly days! I already owned three colors of this! Husband got it to me as birthday gift! He knows how obsessed I am with this jacket! Stick to your size if you like oversized or size down if you don’t like baggy." —M_b29

7. A faux suede fall coat with a detachable faux fur collar if you've ever wanted to be one of those ladies who lives on the Upper West Side walking their tiny dogs.
Promising review: "This is an amazing coat. I am completely in love! It is fur-lined and soft on the inside, which makes it very warm. The fur part of the coat seems very high quality and does not look cheap at all. This coat does have some stretch to it, which is great so it fits like a glove. I definitely recommend this coat to anyone who wants to look super fashionable while staying warm!" —leena
Get it from Amazon for $87.99 (available in sizes XS–XXL and in 18 colors)
8. A Calvin Klein wool coat for weathering those biting fall breezes that tell you winter is coming. As your mom always says, it's better to be a little warm than cold!
Promising review: "This coat is perfect. It’s super warm, can be zipped up to your chin on super cold days, and looks great on. I receive compliments almost every time I wear it, even from random people I don’t know! Best of all, I spilled coffee on myself today while rushing out the door, and you couldn’t even tell! It fit a little tighter than expected, so order up a size if you like to wear your clothes a little loose. The gray sheds a little but not horribly." —Amazon Customer

10. A double-breasted 50% wool trench coat so classy and elegant that people passing you on the street will do a double take like, "Are they a celebrity I should know?"
Promising review: "This coat? OMG! The best little invest statement piece ever. I love coats and I treat them as the main statement in my fall/winter looks. I will say BUY, BUY, BUY you will love this coat. You will indeed stand out and it's well made. The only thing I gave a pass on was the plastic buttons. I felt like they could have done better. I'm 5' 5" so I'm not tall and it hit my ankle just right and gave a cute flare when I walked and the wind catches the coat. I won't say it's for the dead of winter but not so cold days it's perfect for." —Kindle Customer
Get it from Amazon for $149.99 (available in sizes L–3X).
11. A water-repellent down coat that's dense, warm, and lightweight all at the same time — and that there is the magic of a good coat.
Promising review: "This jacket fit true to size and it covers my butt which is what I was looking for. The color is even more beautiful in person — super bright and rich. It's fun to wear because even though it is a puffy jacket, the color fancies it up." —Pretty in Lavender
Get it from Uniqlo for $129.90 (available in sizes XS–XL and four colors).
12. A peplum puffer coat if you're tired of breaking out the same old puffer year after year and are looking for a fun, flirty change. Is it a skirt? Is it a coat? Both, neither, who cares, it's so cute.
Promising review: "This coat is perfect! I love the style, the cut, and the fit. I have a curvy, petite figure and the coat falls at my knees and the sleeves come to my wrists. It flares out just like the model pic. I plan to buy another one too." —Soul Sista
Get it from Venus for $129 (available in sizes XS–3X).
13. A faux shearling moto jacket providing that subtle hint of edge, and that you'll wear more than you care to admit since it seems to go with every darn thing.
Promising review: "So, I never really write reviews for products however, this is actually the best jacket I’ve ever owned. I am a huge jacket fan, and this jacket is so warm and cozy, and the fur is very thick. I often choose to wear this over my Canada goose. The jacket is oversized and looks very expensive (someone asked me if I spent over $200 on it). If you are going to buy anything, BUY THIS JACKET." —Erika
Get it from Amazon for $69.99 (available in sizes S–XL and eight colors).
14. A viral, bestselling "Amazon Coat" boasting over 16,000 5-star ratings, and for good reason: it's warm as all heck, makes you look darn-tootin' cute, and has six pockets, some of which are deep enough to hold beer bottles.
Check out BuzzFeeder Elena Garcia's full review, one of our team's many glowing praises of the Amazon coat.
Promising review: "I love this coat. It looks high-end and is made with great materials. It's super soft and lightweight. I was looking for something longer, that had a hood, and that would be comfortable. This coat truly fits the bill. The cold air doesn't go up underneath or up the sleeves (sleeves are ribbed). The green color is great, very trendy. I also like the side zippers. They give me that extra room when sitting down in the car. I recommend this coat 100%. I've gotten several positive comments from friends on this coat." —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $159.99+ (available in sizes XXS–5X and 13 colors).
15. A plaid overcoat reviewers say is an absolute steal for the price and the quality — it's made of a lightweight wool blend with warm long sleeves, and a classy collar to nail the Peaky Blinders aesthetic you've been searching for this fall.
Promising review: "This is the perfect, classic long coat. I absolutely love it; it's exactly what I was looking for. I'm 5'1" and this jacket hits just below my knee. The sleeve length is perfect and I love the fit. Not quite oversized, but not tight. I would buy this again and again. You can't beat the price." —e.e.
Get it from Amazon for $56.99 (available in sizes S–XL).
16. A hooded anorak made from 100% recycled materials, and stylish enough to make you look good even while fighting through a torrential downpour.
Promising review: "This jacket is just the perfect faded fatigue color — bay leaf is the right name for it — and looks good with so many outfits. It is also the ideal length for an all-season rain jacket/coat, and layers well. My daily commute involves trekking across two campuses, so this weather-ready jacket makes me feel chic. I've been wearing it nearly every day since I got it! 10/10 addition to my wardrobe. Lightweight, lovely material, too." —J McCrary
Get it from Everlane for $118 (available in sizes XXS–XL and three colors).
17. A plaid linen cutout trench coat because just because it's getting chilly out doesn't mean you can't have your very own Angelina Jolie moment amongst the leaves.

Promising review: "I am a happy purchaser of this coat. It’s very soft, plush, and cozy. It can be worn both casual and dressy. I’ve worn it with my yoga clothes while making a quick run to the store and I still looked very fashionable! ;) Coat is made well and I found it to be pretty warm, even on a very cold day. I wish I bought it sooner, so I could have worn it more. Spring is just about a month away. I look forward to wearing it more next fall. :-) " —Susan
Get it from Amazon for $117.01 (available in sizes XXS–3X and three colors).
19. A fall shacket (that's a shirt-jacket if you didn't know) destined to become your throw-on-and-go outerwear all season long. And heck, all year long too, it's that versatile and cozy.
Promising review: "I absolutely love this shacket! It's the perfect for in between weather like the Southwest. I can comfortably wear this over leggings and a tank to drop my kids off at school and still be warm. The large plaid pattern also looks fantastic. My son wants one in his size now. The large pockets in the front are amazing to store my phone and lipgloss. I cannot say enough about this. I've worn it daily and it washes extremely well." —Shopaholic
Get it from Walmart for $59.96 (available in sizes S–XL).
20. A sherpa-lined coat with a removable hood to keep your noggin nice and cozy while you watch the temperature get lower and lower until it's fiiinally stay-inside-with-a-blanket time.
Promising review: "I absolutely love this coat. It is so warm, and the length is great as it comes just past my rear end to keep me covered. The coat has a good weight to it, and the detachable hood is a bonus for next fall when I'm not ready for 'hood season' yet. This got me through the three solid weeks of below freezing weather living on a farm! I would recommend 100%" —ABomar
Get it from Amazon for $82.97 (available in sizes S–3XL and seven colors).
21. A fall coat so lightweight and flexible that you won't miss short sleeves at all while you frolick through leaf piles.
Promising review: "I love it, it's oversized and I mean oversized. The sleeves are to long but rolled up makes the jacket even better looking I think. Lovely length and has some weight to it. So good for autumn. It's perfect for my needs." —Verified Purchaser
Get it from Asos for $50 (available in sizes 12–26).
22. A colorful quilted fall coat ideal if your family loves to drag you on a hike "to see the leaves" and you need something to keep warm, but not hinder your progress as you fly through the foliage.
Promising review: "A fast ship to an excited recipient! Absolutely LOVE this coat! Soft tee fabric on the inside makes the feel of it so cozy but not too hot. Yes, you could wear a sweater under it or even a tee. Not too bulky just Goldilocks perfect! The colors are divine." —NHsky84
Get it from Anthropologie for $170 (available in sizes XXS–XL).
23. A dapper collared wool coat to accompany you on all your cold-weather adventures, with the structure of a jean jacket but the soft feel of your favorite sweater.
Promising review: "I like to think of this as my 'sweatshirt but better,' and I’ll tell you why. This shirt jacket is a truly oversized fit all over, to the point that the effect is not subtle, but the styling creates a nice visual tension. The denim jacket styling keeps the lines long even though the style is boxy, arms are a tad short but the body length hits nicely at the lower hip and covers the bum. The boiled wool material does an amazing job regulating temperature— even though the fabric is thinner than anticipated it still keeps me warm in temps of 45° F and cuts light windchill nicely. This is not warm enough to be standalone outer layer in any real weather, but would make a delightful layering piece as the fabric is extremely soft and lays beautifully. The neutral cool heather color also goes with everything! So pleased!" —Aitchsee
Get it from Madewell for $188 (available in sizes XXS–4X and two colors).

Get it from Amazon for $65.99 (available in sizes XXL–3X and three colors).
26. A classic teddy coat proving that some trends are never meant to die. This thing is so soft you'll be fielding off hugs all day from people who want a snuggle.
Promising review: "I've been wanting a jacket like this for the longest time and this was a great price for it! I normally wear things that are size small but wanted an oversized look so I ordered a large and it is perfect! I got compliments and I can't believe how soft it is! I usually pair this with a long sleeve under to make myself a little warmer. It's great for fall, but not that much during the winter. I definitely recommend this jacket if you don't want to spend as much for a real one. Just take good care of it! :)" —Caroline Nguyen
Get it from Amazon for $39.99+ (available in sizes XS–3XL and 29 colors, and in a zip-up or button-up version).
