Fall is just around the corner and that means it's time for a smart investment: a statement coat. A coat provides the perfect finishing touch for every outfit. So, let's dig in this year's coat trends. While we might not be spending quite as much time outdoors as we usually would around this time of year, that doesn't mean we can't dress to the nines when we finally do. We've listed 8 coat trends you should know about.

1. TRENDY TEDDY : Did someone mention teddy bear? The teddy coat keeps you all warm and cosy during this winter. Even if you wear regular jeans and a sweater, your teddy coat will give it a fashionable twist. A must-have in your closet!

2. POWER PUFF : Shocked to see puffers make this list? We kind of were too, but when nearly every major designer including Dior, Prada, and Versace sent out puffed-up outerwear of all kinds, you know we're about to see it everywhere. You can opt for a short or long version, depending on the outfit.

3. TIMELESS TRENCH : Timeless yet refreshed, this season's trench coat is all about the 'twist'. Be it elegant shoulder accents, leather materials, unexpected design details are taking centre stage.

4. WHIP YOUR 'HAIR' : Shearling seems to be an outerwear trend that comes back season after season, but this year, the shearling showed up longer and hairier. Remember that the shaggier the coat, the better.

5. LADYLIKE LONG : We are happy to say that this jacket has made a comeback this season. This coat is as chic as it gets. You can go for a monochrome look or choose a playful colour-blocking look to give your outfit that little extra. The length ensures that your look remains effortless yet elegant. They say comfort is key and this coat is all about it.

6. FAUX FUR : Combine modernity with femininity, and you create a faux fur jacket. Important to emphasize the "faux", since we all love animals right? There are many colours and prints to choose from, to complete your chic but cosy look. Easy-to-wear, the faux fur is here to save your day.

7. STATEMENT CHECK : Thank God for tartan and checks! It gives your outfit the boldness in feminine way. The pattern ensures that you can wear it in versatile ways. Whether you aim for understated or big and bold, it's a trend that will stand the test of time.

8. QUILTED COAT : An elevated take on the classic puffer jacket, quilted coats are making their mark as one of the 'It' coats of the season. It's equal parts statement and staple.
