Women's Outerwear | ZARA United States

We tend to take outerwear for granted, but jackets and coats are not just must-haves, they are true styling options that will take your outfit to the next level. They can take you from day to night with a change of accessories and are well worth the investment. If there is something you can't have too much of in your closet, it's outerwear. Faux fur coats are ideal for covering up in the colder months. You will feel like you're wrapped up in a blanket, but you certainly won't look like it. They are also effortlessly elegant and need to be the centerpiece of your closet. Many celebrities love to wear longline faux fur coats with a dress for a dramatic finish. This is perfect for a look that can take you from desk to dinner. Alternatively, you can go for shorter yet oversized styles ideal for layering your favorite sweaters. To battle bad weather conditions, opt for sophisticated parkas and hooded coats. These come in all shapes and styles - from wool coats with a hood to raincoats to battle downpours. Not only are coats and jackets stylish, they're also practical. Quilted gilets will be your favorite transitional piece. For those of you who love layering, then you'll enjoy styling this item. Quilted gilets over high-neck sweaters, as well as trench coats, give off a British style look that will never fade out of style. They provide a comfortable yet cozy layer to your outfits, and keep you warm and dry when the weather is being unpredictable. Speaking of gilets, waistcoats are also an important layering piece. You will feel powerful and more put-together and can be layered over your favorite blouse to make a style statement. If you're looking for timeless options, then you'll never go wrong with a black coat. This can be a black wool coat with a tie-up belt for pure sophistication, or a black leather jacket that is timeless yet edgy. Black goes with everything you already own, so the outfit options will be endless. If you want to change things up from black, then a navy blue women's coat will do the trick. The color is timeless, yet rich enough to enhance your outfits. It looks amazing teamed with lighter tones such as neutrals and pastels. A tailored, military-inspired navy peacoat will look striking with a camel jumpsuit or a pastel blue blouse. Navy and black can also be worn together, so team your navy blue coat with a little black dress for an on-trend outfit.
