Tired of your boring black wool coat? Shop for the latest toppers that'll keep you warm and on trend this season.
When Meghan Markle stepped out in a bright blue coat on Thursday, it immediately got us in the mood for fall.
Although some parts of the country are still experiencing 80-degree weather, temperatures will officially drop soon and it's time to prepare our wardrobes with a new coat (or three).
There's nothing wrong with a trusty black peacoat (it's a classic choice!), but a fresh, trendy topper will start the season strong and it'll provide the warmth and coverage you need, without sacrificing style -- because there's nothing worse than when a boring coat minimizes the thrilling outfit underneath.
To help you score some solid options this fall, we've gathered 15 designs that'll get you excited for a colder forecast, including a similar, affordable version of Markle's cobalt stunner.
Shop our coat guide ahead.
