Finding the Right Coats-outerwear for You

There is a stylish garment for anywhere in the universe, and on 1stDibs, finding the right vintage and designer coats and outerwear doesn’t have to feel like a journey to the ends of the earth.

Outerwear includes many types of garments aside from the standard coat. From capes, gilets, jackets and cloaks to raincoats and kimonos, fashion designers have long been preparing us for the elements, and outerwear in general has changed and evolved significantly over time.

A lot of the coat styles in our closets, such as the durable Navy-inspired peacoat, were popularized by soldiers who battled aggressive climes in their regulation field jackets and parkas — indeed, keeping troopers comfortable guided the design of the military surplus garments that have often become buzzy fashion trends. Even today, owing to the likes of Burberry, a luxury fashion house that is among the originators of the trench coat worn by British officers during World War I, the trench remains a timeless style, now available in a range of colors that can be worn throughout the year.

While women in late 1700s England donned an adaptation of a men’s jacket called a spencer — the likeness of which could be spotted in Ralph Lauren’s ready-to-wear collections hundreds of years later — designers hadn’t widely been crafting outerwear specifically for women. Generally, the outerwear of choice for the fashionable, well-heeled lady prior to the 1800s usually consisted of capes, shawls and stoles. By the mid-1800s, women were wearing overcoats with multiple layered collars popularized by men (often called a Garrick coat in England), and as women entered the workforce during the 1920s, hemlines climbed, jewelry was prominent and fashion conventions were broken across the board.

Thankfully, the 20th century’s tradition of challenging the norm continues steadfast in today’s outerwear fashions. Contemporary designers certainly find inspiration in 1960s and 1970s coats by Pierre Cardin, Yves Saint Laurent and Bonnie Cashin, but unisex options abound in modern creations that take both function and style into account. Find what inspires you in the full range of vintage and designer coats and outerwear available for sale on 1stDibs.

Questions About Women Coats And Jackets
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 12, 2024
    The difference between a jacket and a coat often comes down to length. Usually, the hemline of a jacket travels to the waist or just above the hips. On the other hand, coats fall at the hips or below. Some may travel all the way to the calves or the ankles. Explore a wide variety of outerwear on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertOctober 7, 2024
    The difference between a trench coat and a jacket is that one is a specific type of outerwear, while the other is a general term. A jacket is any piece of outerwear with a hemline that falls above the hips, while longer toppers are called coats. A trench coat is a coat usually made from a durable material like thick canvas or wool. Most have a double-breasted button closure, a notched collar, strap epaulets at the shoulders, side pockets and a belt. Find a large collection of trench coats, jackets and other outerwear on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertOctober 7, 2024
    There really is no difference between a sport coat and a sport jacket. Both terms describe a collared jacket worn over a shirt for occasions that call for business casual or upscale casual dressing. Often patterned, sport jackets differ from dressier suit jackets, which tend to feature solid colors or very subtle prints. Explore a diverse assortment of sport coats and blazers on 1stDibs.
