A camel coat is just as much a winter fashion must-have as black boots. If you find yourself skipping over the neutrals, gravitating toward something flashier, but always picking your black puffer jacket, you need to stop for a moment and consider the camel coat. It’s a staple for a reason: It never goes out of style, and it makes you look instantly put-together even if you’re just dashing to the bodega.

Commuting? Wear a camel coat. Weekend brunch? Wear a camel coat. Simply running errands? Don’t forget your camel coat! The coolest options on the market are timeless, versatile, easy to style, and ideal for layering. Camel coats and jackets elevate any fall or winter look while also keeping you nice and cozy.

Scroll down to find the 17 best camel coats and jackets for every budget (and style).

Available in sizes XS–XL.

When winter rolls around, you’ll want nothing more than to cozy up in this faux-fur coat. It’s unbelievably soft and plush but not too heavy.

From $1,160

Available in sizes XXS-XL.

This oversize wool- and silk-blend coat is a little less “morning commute” and a little more “model of duty”; it’s also perfect for layering chunky knits and blazers underneath to really get the look.

Available in sizes XS–XL.

This Reformation coat also features an effortlessly cool shape, but the detachable belt, structured collar, and heavyweight outerwear fabric make it a bit more functional for cold weather.

Available in sizes XXS–XL.

This double-breasted coat by Anine Bing is a timeless staple that looks cool layered over a T-shirt, hoodie, sweater, or anything in your closet, really.

Available in sizes XS–XL.

AYR (which stands for All Year Round) is all about creating versatile pieces that withstand the test of time — and this trench coat is no exception. It’s soft, water resistant, and made from recycled cotton twill.

Available in U.K. sizes 6–22.

This coat looks even cooler when it’s buttoned up, thanks to the concealed fastenings and wide collar. It gives the look of a tunic with the structure and warmth of a trench.

Available in sizes XXS–XXL.

Camel and suede are a match made in heaven, especially in the form of this western-inspired jacket. It’s cozy yet lightweight, and the oversize fit makes it ideal for layering.

Available in sizes 32–42.

Chic and structured, this belted option has the appeal of a shacket since it can be buttoned up and worn on its own. No undershirt required.

Available in sizes XS-XL.

I can guarantee this timeless wool-blend and tweed coat won’t end up in a donation pile next year. It’s stylish without being too trendy and flattering without being too flashy.

Available in sizes XXS-XXL.

Take double-breasted coats to a whole new level with this Aritzia coat. It’s super practical, but also just a tiny bit playful.

Available in sizes 0-18.

A luxurious, quality winter coat can get expensive. But when you calculate the cost per wear of a classic coat you’ll wear day after day, it makes some sense. This Max Mara coat, made entirely of camel hair, will never go out of style.

Available in sizes 4-10.

If you want a camel coat that really makes a statement, opt for this wool blend from Maje. With faux-fur accents, it’s still classic enough to match everything.

Available in sizes 00-24.

J.Crew has plenty of moderately priced (and usually on sale) camel coats. This sleek wool topcoat has a classic silhouette and is easy to work into your everyday looks.

Available in sizes XXS-XXL.

Another easy and classic silhouette you don’t have to think too much about. This wool blend is lined and tailored for the best fit, and it’s available in petite and tall versions.

Available in sizes 00-40.

Universal Standard keeps things super chic, minimal, and inclusive. This classic tailored coat is made of a wool blend and has a slightly boxy fit. If you size up, it’s perfect for layering.

Available in sizes XS-XL.

If you want something a little more structured, this option from Reformation is cinched at the waist for a sleek look sans belt. The recycled wool blend is also heavy enough to keep you warm and looking good.
