The Hottest Coat Trends For Fall 2020
While unprecedented events have caused us to spend the majority of our personal and professional lives indoors, this fall season will surely reinforce our desire to dress comfortably. When we think of the term “comfortable dressing,” we often correlate it with sweatpants paired with our old college sweaters—the epitome of quarantine coziness. However, the Fall 2020 runway shows delivered coats that embody that similar said coziness, but with a trendy edge of course. So, who is to say dressing comfortably means not being fashionable?
Even though designers didn’t expect such an outcome during the pre-COVID time period, they definitely knew the importance of comfortable silhouettes that will still ensure multiple head-turns. Shearling coats from Bottega Veneta and Stella McCartney give off the look of being engulfed by a teddy bear, while ponchos from Balmain and Michael Kors double as a cozy blanket.
Whether you plan to wear these coats to a socially distanced environment or even just at home, we’ve gathered this season’s hottest coat trends that keep you snug!
