At the start of the year, I dove headfirst into dissecting 2025’s outerwear trends. Although I attempted a no-buy month after an overzealous spree of chic tops and jeans during the holidays, I have to admit that I bought a coat… or three. (Sorry, not sorry!) But here’s the thing: I don’t regret a single one. After a deep dive into the season’s offerings, I can confirm that 2025’s outerwear is all about looking elevated and original. Think animal prints that turn heads, sleek collarless jackets for effortless elegance, and luxurious leather maxi coats that whisper wealth.
Although you’d think these 2025 outerwear trends cost a million bucks, they’ll only look and feel über-expensive. Trust me—your credit card will thank you. Below, shop all the best under-$150 2025 outerwear trends that have the fashion-person stamp of approval mere weeks into 2025.
Collarless Jackets
Sleek, collarless jackets are one of 2025’s most refined outerwear trends, combining elegant minimalism with a timeless, almost mid-century shape. Sharp tailoring and soft, waist-enhancing silhouettes are the go-to looks for someone who’s craving a collarless jacket. Despite their high-end appeal, chic options are shockingly available for well under $200.

Whether in classic black or bold hues like deep red and olive green, these coats exude timeless sophistication without feeling like you’re stepping straight out of a sci-fi film.

Oversize Wool Coats
If there’s one thing a fashion person has duplicates in their closet of, it’s a classic wool coat. A roomy silhouette and dropped shoulders allow for easy layering while maintaining a polished look without trying too hard. A slouchy, oversize silhouette with a tied waist or buttons is an instant way to elevate any outfit while still being cozy and warm.

Animal-Print Outerwear
Rawr. Clearly, 2025 will continue seeing the animal-print revolution after last year’s surge, and winter coats are leading the charge. Leopard, zebra, and snake patterns are making fierce statements, proving that bold prints never go out of style. Style with your favorite jeans and neutral-colored turtleneck to let your outerwear do all of the talking.

Boxy Trench Coats
After coming back from Paris right after the New Year, I can confirm the city’s most stylish people were all wearing this timeless coat. While trench coats are more of a staple than an overly trendy piece for most French women, it doesn’t negate the fact that this coat was on nearly every chic woman I saw in the French capital. Wear it over your favorite basic outfit to emulate that Parisian je ne sais quoi.
