Sure, we all know what wardrobe essentials for work professional women are supposed to have in their closets, but if you’re buying one for the first time or replacing one you’ve worn into the ground, it can be a pain to find exactly the right incarnation in stores. In “The Hunt,” we search the stores for a basic item that every woman should have.
Statement winter coats aren’t as versatile as classic winter coats, nor are they as functional as puffer coats — but if your mood or outfit needs a jolt of energy, statement winter coats provide that in spades. I thought we’d go on a hunt for statement winter coats to wear to work… which are your favorites?
Readers, what kind of winter coat do you want this season? Which, if any, of these statement coats are calling your name?

Before we get to the statement coats for this year, let’s review some of the classic choices…
Classic Style Winter Coats for Women
Some of our favorite classic coats for work as of October 2023 include: olive / blue / green / caramel / black / gray (not pictured but also) – and don’t forget to check out our editors’ favorite washable winter coats!
Classic Winter Coats for Women in Plus Sizes
Statement Winter Coats for 2023/2024
J.Crew Daphne Topcoat in Italian Boiled Wool
J.Crew is one of the reader favorites for classic coats, but they’re also one of the best spots to check first for statement winter coats because they often have really fun colors for coats, and usually at a great price point.
The pictured boiled wool coat is $298 full price, but down to $209 today. It’s available in petite, tall, and regular sizes 00-24. (I also like the wide lapels on their Villa coat!)
Cuyana Wool Cashmere Short Wrap Coat
We’ve featured this short wrap coat from Cuyana before, and it remains one of my favorites — it can be tricky to style just so, but it’s warm and super stylish. It’s $398 available in XS-XL.
(Note that Soia & Kyo has a very similar option on sale!)
Ted Baker Roseika Flared Wool Blend Coat
Ted Baker has had a coat like this for a number of years — a wrap coat with big, floppy lapels (that actually do close at the neck for warmth). This version is a bit longer and flouncier than previous coats, though, and I love that! The coat is available for $525 in two colors, sizes 2-14; there’s a very similar option in a gray herringbone.
Reiss Helena ATELIER WOOL-CASHMERE BLINDSEAM COAT
Reiss is a great spot to look for tailored but dramatic coats, and this wool/cashmere coat is no different – I love the dolman sleeves and super, super wide lapels. You can wear it as a wrap or open, as pictured. It’s $1145, available in two colors in sizes 2-12 at Reiss.
Totême has some similar options at the moment!
