The Big Chill: 7 Neutral, Non-Boring Coats

If you take a visual survey of the world’s winter coat selections, you’ll find yourself gazing at a sea of city-apropos neutrality, where greys, browns, and the ol' faithful blacks reign supreme. Then, you might begin to wonder, is it the color that’s repetitive, or simply the cuts? Guys, show of hands, who wants to shrug on another ill-fitting puffer coat or your father’s worn-down, boxy-shouldered corduroy? 

When temperatures are below freezing, it's no crime to still care about style. Here, we've chosen seven heavy-hitting, neutral coats with longer silhouettes to shut out the cold—but keep it sharp. From Julien David's aubergine mohair coat to the tailored Yves Salomon military-inspired parka to Opening Ceremony's popular Melton car coat, we’re all in for an efficient, classic winter staple—as long as it looks good, season after season.
