More than likely, you're still in the process of breaking in your newly acquired fall jacket. Especially if you're in one of the areas where it sometimes still feels like summer. Or at least spring. Be that as it may, it's already time to start thinking about your next outerwear purchase. Now that October is a wrap, you need to begin shopping stylish winter coats to find your perfect match.

While autumn jackets can be lightweight, their winter cousins are another story. Coats need to be hefty enough to keep out the cold, the wind and all that snow. Some think that translates to bulky silhouettes. That's not necessarily the case, however. There are plenty of options out there that are sleek and super chic.

We're breaking down the top contenders into several categories. Faux fur and teddy coats, scarf-attached creations, cool puffers, chevron and plaid picks, toggle toppers, shearling-lined numbers and statement wool stunners. When it comes to colors, everything goes. Obviously, there are plenty of neutrals to choose from. Neutral doesn't mean boring, though. See Stand Studio's patchwork take, BLANKNYC's textured sweater jacket, & Other Stories' funnel-neck entry and Dries Van Noten's coat with exaggerated shoulders.

If you really want to pop, you can't go wrong with Banana Republic's fiery red double-faced scarf coat. Mango also has a striking scarf creation in a rich maroon hue. Or sport The Frankie Shop's long dark plum double-breasted style if you're looking for a real head-turner.
