The best peacoats for women are closet cornerstones and among the best everyday coats you’ll ever own (not to mention one of the best holiday gifts for women). Featuring a short, double-breasted silhouette, these top layers are typically made of wool, like the coats sailors originally wore. Modern versions come crafted in other divine materials, like luxurious cashmere or eco-friendly recycled fibers. Plus, many contemporary styles extend longer, fit more oversize and boxy, or are uniquely detailed.
“Regardless of the season, there are a few coat styles that will always be timeless, and a peacoat is one of them,” Tiffany Hsu, fashion buying director at Mytheresa, tells Bazaar. “The classic silhouette can be styled in modern ways, but will always remain a wardrobe staple.”
The Best Peacoats for Women in 2024
A peacoat’s timelessness is the ultimate draw, but those concerned with fall and winter fashion trends will delight in designer iterations that play into the revamped-classics movement. Describing these runway styles as “polished” and “very fashion-forward,” Hsu notes that, “If you invest in a sophisticated style and solid color, you will be sure to see a return on your investment.” She adds, “While neutral colors will never go out of style, interesting takes with patterns and bright colors are youthful and refreshing.”
Moreover, peacoats lend themselves to sophisticated styling in a way that appeals to all aesthetics, not unlike a cozy wrap coat. “Coats, in general, are so versatile and can be easily mixed into your daily fall and winter wardrobe,” Hsu says. “A peacoat can be worn with oversize denim—which I am all about these days—for an effortlessly cool look or over a sleek minidress for a night out.” So, whether you’re adding to your collection classics or seeking a modern interpretation, scroll on to shop 15 of the best peacoats for women.
