With predictions of another cold winter on the way, thoughts of staying warm and looking good are top of mind.
It’s a season that showcases plenty of sophisticated and elegant style, with classic and modern coat silhouettes flourishing in both plain and fancy materials such as leather, mohair, camel hair, shearling and faux fur.
“Leather definitely makes a strong comeback this season, with the key focus on duffel coats, parkas, aviators, trenches and hourglass shapes. New treatments such as quilted leather, leather bonded to faux fur and leather combined with wool … creates contemporary looks,” says Joann Schelstratte, a senior designer at Danier.
“There’s also a trend toward longer lengths. Shorter jackets are getting longer and the full-length leather coat definitely calls out drama,” Schelstratte says.
Leather, shearling and both real and faux fur are used jointly and severally in many designer collections, including those of Derek Lam, Jean Paul Gaultier, Michael Kors, Alexander McQueen, Alexander Wang, Gucci and, closer to home, labels Harricana, Rudsak, and Soia & Kyo.
Basic black, tan and brown are no- fail favorites for both fur and leather, but neutrals of grey and taupe are also getting plenty of play along with a few bright shades.
White leather makes unexpected and refreshingly modern style statements, while caramel and burgundy leather tie into the season’s many updates on '70s styles.
Shades of cobalt blue, vibrant red, emerald green, orange, violet and turquoise also up the ante in runway-influenced fur, leather and fabric outerwear.
Shaggy faux and real fur take turns trimming cuffs, collars and hem lines and take centre stage on coats fashioned entirely from the plush stuff.
If leather, woollens and fur don’t grab you, quilted nylon puffers and down materials all fall in for another season.
“If you can buy just one coat, I’d recommend a belted coat in a knee or just-below-the-knee length. Belted and shaped styles give down coats more sexy shapely silhouettes. Don’t be afraid to brighten winter by moving away from black into brighter fashion shades and neutrals such as camel and clay,” suggests Ilan Elfassy, a designer at Montreal-based Soia & Kyo.
Ladylike retro-inspired silhouettes and details make for the strong revival of classic wool coats, as well as capes and refined ponchos.
“There are '60s and '70s influences in coat shapes such as those with Balmacaan and cocoon styling along with reefer and duffle coats. Classic coat shapes and capes are both moving forward and we’ll continue to see them all next fall,” says Tamar Matossian, a general manager at Lundstrom.
Double-breasted reefer and belted trench coats are among the most popular silhouettes, some of which are dolled up with fancy oversized buttons, stand up collars and textures like tweed and boiled wool.
Asymmetrical zippers and toggle closures are among the other popular features on some winter coats.
Floral prints and wildcat patterns are coming on strong while more casual outerwear may display checks and bold Southwestern-inspired patterns.
