The Fall and Winter seasons are the perfect time to elevate your wardrobe with staple high-quality yet affordable and fashionable coats. Being Muslim and dressing modestly, I thrive in these seasons. It’s the time of year when we can easily find clothes that are modest AND fashionable. Another seasonal fashion plus, LAYERING!!! Sweaters, scarves, beanies, boots, and last but certainly not least, coats.
Coats deserve an arguably significant amount of credit for Fall and Winter fashion because you can throw it on over anything and look chic, put together, elegant, and overall aesthetically pleasing. Let’s be honest, they carry the outfit. While it can be difficult to find ones that are budget-friendly, it can be done! Contrarily, if you feel like splurging and investing in a pricier one, I have the perfect coats for you too! I will help you find your essential “that girl” coat. Below are some of the top picks for good-quality coats for women in 2023.
Women’s Coats
H&M Double-Breasted Coat
Shade: Light Beige
This coat is a must-have calf-length, double-breasted coat in woven fabric. Its notched lapels, buttons at the front, and welt front pockets with flap details certainly give it that classy clean look. The rich creamy color goes beautifully with any color and so many different looks. Pair it with black to elevate your outfit.
Zara Oversized Cropped Biker Jacket
Shade: Taupe Brown
While we all typically go for the typical full-length coat, this double-breasted biker jacket deserves a moment. The belt at hem detail with matching buckle, belted cuffs, and front button closure ties beautifully together and is just muah *chef’s kiss*. This jacket is lightweight, perfect for stepping up your game in the fall when it’s starting to get a bit chilly, but not chilly enough to opt for a heavy/ thick coat.
The Gianna Coat in Insuluxe Fabric
Shade: Hthr Cold Brew
Ladies and Gentleman, her. While the Gianna Coat in Insuluxe Fabric is definitely on the pricier side, it is definitely an investment piece. So, If you’re looking for a staple high quality piece that you can wear for years and will never go out of style or wear out, this is the one. Undoubtedly, the deep rich brown count is mesmerizing and won’t disappoint you years down the line.
H&M Tie Belt Coat
Shade: Black
Obviously, you can never go wrong with a classic Black Tie Belt Coat. Belt coats are great for keeping you cozy while showing off your outfit at the same time. The belt can also be styled in different ways such as cute bows, or a classic knot. Having a long thick black coat is great in the winter because it will soak up more sun than other colors typically will.
Mango Wool Coat with Handmade Belt
Shade: Ecru
Here we have a wool coat designed to leave you breathless. Something about cream coats that just look so elegant, chic, and brighten up your winter. Undeniably, neutrals are a winter girl’s best friend. Not to mention the belt that just adds the extra oomph. While Mango coats are definitely on the pricier end, they have really good quality coats that are reliable. So if you’re looking for investment pieces, Mango, Aritzia, and Madewell are definitely go-to’s.
Zara Faux Leather Short Jacket
Shade: Black
The Zara Faux Leather Short Jacket is a trench coat with beautiful details such as the lapel collar, long sleeves, and epaulettes. While any leather jacket is a great addition to a Fall/ Winter capsule wardrobe, this one specifically goes beautifully with so many different outfits.
Dissh CAMERON STONE TRENCH COAT

Nothing gives old-money vibes like the Cameron Stone Trench Coat. So, if you are looking for a Sophia Richie-style coat, look no further! Dissh created a medium-weight, non-stretch pure cotton fabrication coat perfect for the fall and early winter! It is fully lined, has a two-button closure, and a removable belt.

Those are 10 really great options for good quality coats for this Winter and Fall. I’ve listed affordable options as well as investment pieces, and different styles that suit everyone’s tastes. If you couldn’t tell, you can never go wrong with neutrals. I hope these have helped you build your seasonal wardrobe! If you’re torn between coats, here’s what I suggest: As a beautiful base for a capsule wardrobe, try to build up to having a wool coat, a leather coat, a trench coat, a puffer, and a jacket. So if you are choosing between a puffer and a wool coat, and you already have three wool coats, opt for the puffer! It’s all about starting with some great basics that you can use to put together an endless number of outfits. Happy shopping!
