Cooler temperatures mean it’s time to wrap up in your warmest layers, and celebrities show us the trendiest coats to wear this season.
One of the trends that comes back in Hollywood every winter is the raincoat, which is a timeless staple that can be dressed up or down. For those who already have a classic style, take inspiration from Katie Holmes with a long plaid coat. And as the temperatures continue to drop, consider picking up a soft fleece jacket similar to the one we saw on Jennifer Lopez.
We’ve found comfortable and stylish star-inspired coats from Amazon, Nordstrom, J.Crew and more to keep you safe from the elements in the weeks ahead—starting at $30.
