When it comes to fashion, it’s always good to be prepared for anything the weather throws at you. And when fall comes around, it’s important to arm yourself with the top men’s coat trends of 2024. This year, the options for men’s coats are boundless. You can either keep stylish with a long maxi option or choose functionality with a puffer coat that will keep you warm in the crisp autumn weather.
Some trends repeat from seasons past. Think: everyday puffers and bomber coats. While formal and trench coats took interesting twists and turns to be made fresh for 2024. And as menswear itself has transformed from strict guidelines to more experimental with the help of Harry Styles, Michael B. Jordan and other fan-favorites, it only makes sense that men’s outerwear would change too. This year you can expect playful silhouettes, non-traditional materials, and of course—new ways to style all your favorite coats.
But no need to panic, there are still tried-and-true trends (we’re looking at you wool coats) that will always be trendy. And if you prefer to experiment with a more high-fashion look, there are tons of options for you as well.
The key to a good insulated coat is lightweight material and heat protection without the sweat. As a serious protection against harsh autumn weather, insulated coats are the foolproof way to look stylish, and harbor warmth.
If you have a lot of stuff to carry (or just want to look like you do), a utility jacket is just what you need. For fans of workwear-inspired fashion, utility jackets are both functional and stylish. Not to mention, they provide the perfect amount of warmth for the autumn weather.
If you’ve ever spent a fall season in a less-than-ideal coat, you know the best thing to do is prepare yourself with a go-to coat that will keep you warm and work with anything in your closet. A good bomber jacket can take the stress out of getting ready for the day, plus it’s easy to layer with once it starts to get colder.
The ultimate topper to any fall outfit, the trench coat is a street set favorite for a reason. Not only are they fashion-forward but often made with technical details and other water resistant properties, it will keep you dry and wind-free all season long.
Windbreakers might seem totally ’80s retro, but they’ve remained popular for a reason. They’re lightweight, making them a great choice for the autumn weather. And when temps really start to drop, you can wear your favorite hoodie or sweater under them for a comfy yet cool look. Even if you’re not the running type, you need to add one to your rotation this season.
Sleek and warm, the wool coat will be a wardrobe staple. To your knees or to your ankles, wear it over your in-office outfit or on a special date night.
When fall weather gets harsh, packable puffers are the perfect choice. Plus, they’re easy to store whether you need to make room in your closet or if you’re looking for ways to save space in your bag for an upcoming trip.
