LOOK 01 / Aritzia
The long puffer.
Emma wears the matte brown Super Puff Long with ivory straight-leg jeans and brown ankle boots. A warm cream scarf brings light to her face and sits inside the hood so the snap front stays visible.
THE WINTER SHOPPING EDIT / 2026–27
The most wearable shapes this winter are the toggle duffle, the long velvet coat and the hooded puffer. Add a patterned coat if you already have your everyday layer. For a windy or wet commute, choose for coverage and the manufacturer’s weather specs before deciding on a silhouette.

LOOK 02 / Reformation
Sophia wears the Valentine Coat open over Reformation’s taupe Helen Knit Two Piece. The collared knit and matching midi skirt make one continuous line between the velvet panels. Tall bourbon leather boots echo the warm taupe.
01 / Affordable
Choose the coat for the job you do most often. A hooded layer earns its space on the commute. A patterned coat or a fluffy collar can do more for a wardrobe that already has a practical winter layer.

THE FITTING ROOM
Try it over the knit you really wear. Reach for a door handle, put a bag on your shoulder and close the coat all the way. Check whether your sleeves stay covered and whether you have room to move.
A long hem covers more of the leg, while a high neck or hood can help close gaps. Check the manufacturer’s insulation, shell and care details. A plush texture or a heavy hand alone says little about rain protection.
If you’re trying brown, bring a scarf in the shade you wear most. Light Spring can try a pale warm knit near the face. Light Summer can do the same with powder blue or pearl grey. A patterned coat is easier to style when the scarf repeats just one shade in the print.
