Goodbye sun-drenched bikinis, hello cozy outerwear — autumn is here, and it is here to stay. Your blood type may be pumpkin spice and you're probably mentally prepping yourself for the inevitable Halloween movie marathons, but has your wardrobe gotten the same treatment yet? Put down that PSL and add "shop the best sales on fall coats" to your to-do list ASAP.
Speaking as your stereotypical Californian gal who cannot survive in anything less than sixty degrees, outerwear is of particular importance in my wardrobe. Luckily, Mother Nature isn't calling for bulky winter coats just yet, so there's still the luxury of light layers and lots of stylistic elements to embrace. Think fringe, embroidery, cropped cuts — designs difficult to ace in the dead of December, but totally do-able in the fall season.
Am I gutted over the fact that I can no longer wear denim shorts and tanks without complaining about how "cold" the weather is? Yes, but then I remembered the silver lining: with autumn kicking in, I have yet another excuse for retail therapy. Everyone deserves a head-turning fall coat that is equal parts fashionable and functional — or two. Or three. Or maybe just all thirteen on this list. Decisions, decisions.
Don't let the hunt for the ultimate fall jacket intimidate you. The options are endless and the markdowns are plenty. Here are twelve of the best sales on fall coats to shop now — top it off, in style.
