Fashion-lovers know that come winter, their coat is the statement-making piece of their outfits. You could be wearing couture or pajamas, but the coat speaks first, and it's important to get it right. When the temperature dips, you want to have a few styles at the ready, and these are the 16 winter coats we like this year. Let's face it, it's almost inevitable that the coats you fall in love with will be sold out when you really need them, and the only true antidote to this dilemma is to be prepared and shop now, because like it or not, winter is fast approaching.

So, what exactly are the styles we'll be wearing this year? Right now, we're into classic trench coats, cozy teddy coats and wool coats, a little fringe moment, and ultrawarm puffer coats for when it really gets cold and you need to pack on the layers. We found great options from luxury brands like Anine Bing and Moncler, as well as more affordable coats from Free People and Amazon. When it comes to coat colors, we gravitate toward neutrals because they're so easy to pair with a variety of outfits, but we're the first to admit that sometimes something bright or eye-catching is fun. And that's why there's something here for everyone. From long coats to short, cropped styles, start the new year with your best coat forward.

We love that it doesn't feel too bulky, but still doesn't compromise on warmth. It comes in black and beige, and is made of recycled materials, which we love. It can even double as a ski jacket if need be.

Best Fringe Jacket

R13 Fringe Raw Cut Coat ($1,595)

Fringe outerwear is on the rise this season, and it's one of our favorite trends. If you feel like splurging, this R13 coat is impossibly cool. It's a little bit boxy, has a dramatic fringe on the sleeves, and turns any outfit into a statement. It's also a slightly thicker coat, so you could wear it when temperatures start to drop (though we wouldn't recommend it for braving a blizzard).

Best Classic Coat

Best Classic Coat

Uniqlo Double Face Long Coat ($150)

When you want a coat you can just throw on and run out the door, reach for this Uniqlo long coat. It also comes in natural and black, but the classic beige is always a winner. We love the relaxed fit and chic, single button closure.

Best Cozy Peacoat

Best Cozy Peacoat

We The Free Kaja Vegan Bonded Peacoat ($248)

Peacoats can feel both preppy and classic. This shearling coat is a slight twist on the timeless shape, with faux-leather and faux-fur lining. It gives the iconic shape a little edge and a little extra warmth.

Best Faux Fur Coat

Best Faux Fur Coat

Lamarque Linnea Faux Fur Jacket ($275)

When you want to bundle up, few things will keep you warmer than faux fur. This jacket is a great choice because it's so easy to throw on, but looks very put together and elegant. It also comes in black and chocolate, but we love the medium brown shade.

Best Sherpa Coat

Apparis Anouck Coat ($350)

Let's face it: we still have an obsession with teddy coats. They're the coziest thing to wear outside of the house that isn't a bathrobe. This cream-colored Apparis coat looks great with jeans, but would also be pretty with a tonal all-white winter outfit.

Best Shearling Coat

Best Shearling Coat

Helsa Cropped Faux Shearling Jacket ($458)

When you want to feel warm and look pulled together, reach for a shearling coat. This coat is the one we're coveting right now.

Best Colorful Wool Coat

Best Colorful Wool Coat

RAILS Lore Wool Coat ($458)

Wool coats come in a variety of silhouettes, but often take on a more traditional shape past the knees. The styles can range from 100 percent wool to more affordable picks that contain a wool blend. This green apple coat is as chic as it is durable, with a 65-percent wool composition that's sure to keep you warm in even the coldest winter temperatures. Of course, it's also one of the most eye-catching styles on the market.
