Bright Coats for Cold Days

Though the days are getting shorter, there’s still time to invest in a reliable coat to carry you through the darkest season of the year. This winter, it’s worth getting creative with colors, textures, and shape: A coat that’s not your average puffer can brighten up your look and help you avoid the snow-season doldrums. We asked New York women to try on some of the best coats of the season, from bright furs to eye-popping prints to clean, modern constructions. See below for all of our colorful selections.
