As the autumn chill, wind, and rain approach, the question of outerwear comes to the forefront. According to a review by the lifestyle project Wave (RBC-Ukraine), this season's coat fashion is notably diverse: everyone will be able to find a model suited to their style — from strict classic looks to relaxed casual outfits. The editorial team highlights three key models that will define the season's trends.

Tailored Silhouettes and Accent Shoulders

This season, fashion is moving away from the usual oversized look and returning to tailored pieces with accent shoulders that emphasize the figure. The most trendy options are long models made of wool in black, gray, brown, or burgundy. Such a coat works well in a pair with classic looks — trousers, skirts, shirts, and heeled boots, creating a strict and well-defined silhouette.

A Loose Belted Coat for Casual Looks

The opposite of the previous trend is a loose coat with a soft silhouette and a belt, aimed at relaxed and everyday outfits. The loose-cut model gives the look a sense of nonchalance and lightness. The main advantage of such a coat is its versatility: it can easily be incorporated into any look, including the most ordinary ones, without the risk of looking out of place.

The Return of Shearling Jackets in the Aesthetic of the 90s – Early 2000s

Since fashion is actively returning to the aesthetic of the 90s – early 2000s, the return of shearling jackets was only a matter of time. Textured fur, voluminous models, and a large collar are especially relevant. This outerwear is not only warm and versatile, but also perfect for cold weather, maintaining a trendy look in almost any outfit. As an example of a current model, the publication cites a shearling jacket from the brand Stella McCartney.

Contradictory Data

Different publications place somewhat different emphases on materials and silhouettes. If Wave (RBC-Ukraine) names wool as the basis for tailored trendy models, then a number of other reviews for fall 2026, on the contrary, note a move away from cashmere in favor of alternative textures. There is also a discrepancy in silhouettes: some stylists promote tailored shapes with accent shoulders, while others continue to consider oversized and loose cuts with a belt a more versatile solution. Thus, there is no single 'correct' answer — the choice depends on a preference for classic or casual style.

Practical Conclusion for the Season

The review concludes that the fall wardrobe of 2026 is built on contrast: strict tailored wool for business looks, a loose belted coat for everyday wear, and a voluminous shearling jacket with fur for the cold. Such a set covers most wearing scenarios and allows you to put together a current look without having to search for outerwear at the last minute.
