FALL MUST-HAVE: THE CHIC RED COAT

My absolute favorite coat in my closet is a perfect berry red. I'm fairly certain I purchased it around ten years ago... which means it's well past time for a new one. A classic red coat instantly makes any outfit feel a little more chic, don't you think?

Lucky for me, there are plenty of options out there this season (so glad red is back!) In fact, I've found so many that I can't decide! All I know is I love a classic tailored look...
a chic red coat for fall
Do you have a favorite? I'm slightly in love with the miu miu myself (of course it's sold out), and the prada is a similar red to what I have now. Then again, the classic tailoring of the j.crew option is so lovely...

    I love the Prada one for the details and that shade of red.

    I'd love one of those in a dark raspberry colour. I love the red & I'm a little jealous on brunettes that red looks great on.

    The Milly coat is so classic and chic. Must get a red coat for the winter - you are spot on with this one!

    I love the red - so chic! It's so easy to get caught up in wanting a coat to "match everything" and going with black. I'm not sure if I'm feisty enough for red, but I think I may try navy this year... ♥

    OH I LOVE red! I used to have a bright red coat I loved! My favorite is definitely the J Crew. I think it might be the pockets.

    i bought a lovely red coat a couple of winters ago. although, i have to admit i feel like it's an addition getter. and i slightly feel like the queen of hearts sometimes. haha. probably because it has a large ruffle collar. i still adore it though.

    I have a 6-year old red coat from Barneys CO-OP that I found at the Outlet - peter pan collar - fire engine red (similar lines to the J.Crew one you've picked). I like the deeper red of the Milly one - and the length of the Miu Miu!

    I can't decide between the Asos or the J. Crew -- both great options!
