The unfortunate reality of living in Toronto is that proper outerwear is a must for the majority of the year. For that reason, you may as well have some fun with it! This season we are truly spoiled for choice when it comes to staying warm but also chic. Here are some of our favourite coat trends on NET-A-PORTER...

#1 FAB FAUX

Once upon a time, fashionistas turned their noses up at faux furs but now, it's quite the opposite! Designers have upped their game with the quality of faux fur they're using plus, there are endless options when it comes to colour. Whether you go for black or brown for a more "authentic" fur look or want to have fun with a pop of pink, Stand Studio has some fabulous options! 

#2 CHECK, PLEASE!

Check prints are everywhere this year and we love it! A check coat is a great way to add some texture and colour to an otherwise simple outfit. REMAIN Birger Christensen is offering this piece in two different colour options this season... which one will you pick?

#3 INTO THE WILD

Are you an all-black wardrobe kinda girl? This coat is for you! This season we're seeing all kinds of animal prints; zebra, leopard, python - you name it. They're fun and add some life to monochromatic looks. Leave it to By Malene Birger to create such a wonderfully whimsical piece! 

#4 GLOSSY PATENTS

Along with faux furs, there are plenty of faux patents out there! Instead of defaulting to a leather jacket, give its glossy cousin a try for a more updated look. We love the croc texture of this piece by Tibi!
