Remember when you were younger and absolutely despised putting a cute coat over your outfit? Now, a coat makes my outfit! It’s the final finishing touch that pulls the whole look together, to the point where I hate taking mine off when I finally get inside. And next year, it’ll be no different! 2022’s outerwear trends are especially chic, whether you’re looking for something to wear every single day or a statement piece for brunch and beyond.

So, what’s in? Leather trenches have officially replaced leather blazers—and if they have a fluffy trim on the collar and sleeves, even better! Bright solid hues are replacing understated neutrals, and puffers are getting a heavenly update via cloud-like duvet-inspired textures and shapes.

Ready to bundle up and look good? Read on to shop the top four trends for 2022 in straight and plus sizes below.

Leather Trench

First, it was the iconic leather jacket. Then, we moved on to the leather blazer. Every year, the trendiest leather piece gets a few inches longer—and it looks like trenches are up next. Whether you opt for classic black, brown or cream, don’t be surprised to find you can pair it with literally everything.

Faux Leather Splice Jacket

ASOS Design does a great job of making pieces that are both trendy and will be able to be worn long term use, so it’s no surprise they’ve created the perfect black leather trench.

Fluffy Trim

Saks Potts did it first—but now everyone else is doing it, too. Feather, fur and faux-fur trims are all the rage this season, for pieces with a holiday feel you can rock even when it isn’t actually freezing.

When working with statement trim, a neutral colorway is often easiest to style. This coat from NastyGal offers two trends in one, as it’s a great take on that leather trench look I mentioned earlier.

Duvet Puff

Yes, puffers are in every single season, but this year it’s all about the ones that feel so good, you start to doze. Think duvet-inspired styles that might as well be the outerwear equivalent to wearing a cloud.

Sometimes a long parka is just too damn much! This cropped style by Mackage has that trending duvet feel, but with a shorter silhouette, available in three shades.
