It’s cold as fuck outside. In the Big Apple, Mother Nature is hitting the city with rainy 50 degree Tuesdays and sunny 30 degree Thursdays. Back home in Buffalo, NY, the Queen City is already seeing snow and around the country from the D.C to the midwest temperatures are dropping down, and outerwear has gone from optional to necessary. Luckily, both those who love the fall and winter season for football season and egg nog flavors and ones counting down the days to summer tend to unite around the love for coats and jackets.
Bundling up to protect against inclement weather calls for several layers from hats and scarves to gloves but your coat is the foundation piece to your cold weather wardrobe.

So what coat is the right style for you? Below, from our Fall 2019 Issue we shot four trusted coat styles swanked out with premium fabrication, dope detailing and ready to fit for function; operation weathering fall and winter.
PUFFER
Puffer, or bubble coats and jackets are a New York City staple. A voluminous winter coats like a puffer screams warmth and weather proof. This DKNY Velour interpretation provides the traditional feel of a regular puffer coat in a material that freshens up this outerwear piece. Goodbye standard, hello statement!
SHEARLING
Real or fake, the mere look of a shearling coat mixes cool uncle vibes with pure luxury badassness. A shearling can take you from day to night, business to casual, and turn up to turn down with a flip of the coat’s collar. We styled this faux DKNY shearling with the 90s in mind pair it with a velour track suit from Fila, and a crisp white t-shirt.
TRENCH
For the urbane gentleman who could easily be mistaken for an influencer, the trench coat speaks to you. The lapels, waist belt, length all add to the sophistication provided courtesy of the humble trench. Tibi covered this coat in a plaid print that is equally bold —thanks to the blue— as it is subtle —thanks to the muted hues that accompany the stripes of blue.
BOMBER
An impeccably made bomber is always a good investment piece. Ones made with buttery soft leather, equipped with pockets both in and outside the coat, and classic enough to pair well with everything like this bomber jacket from The Row is a menswear connoisseur’s dream buy.
