While the calendar reminds us that we are in the throes of the cold season, our wardrobe demands more and more attention. On the one hand, there is the need to find comfortable, warm and versatile garments to wear all day long, and on the other hand, the possibility of dressing cool without suffering the cold temperatures. How to do this? Simple: by choosing short coats, the real guest stars of this winter 2025.

There are the furry ones, which wrap you in a warm embrace, the padded ones for casual and sporty looks, and the worsted ones for those who never want to renounce elegance, even below zero. The best ones? We have selected them in this article.

Winter 2025 trends: short coats

January reminds us that spring is still two months away and that we will probably have to live with the low temperatures for a while yet. Luckily, thanks in part to winter sales and strategic shopping, we managed to renew our wardrobe in time. But don't you think there is still something missing?

What may be missing, in your winter wardrobe, is the right outerwear to wear now, and until late spring. We are talking about short coats, true must-haves of the season that can also be used in the months to come.

Why we like them is easy to say: they are warm, practical and comfortable, they go well with everything (even the most casual and sporty looks) and can also be worn in spring, when the temperatures are still balmy and drop dramatically in the evenings, because they are less demanding than long coats.

The fact that the short coat appeals to everyone is also confirmed by street style. Just take a tour on social networks, and scroll through the feeds of influencers and celebrities, to see how they too have succumbed to the allure of the short coat this winter. After all, as we have already written, it is an extremely versatile garment that goes well with everything and can be worn on any occasion.

But what are the models to buy now? And how and when to wear them? Let's find out together!

Short coats: the best ones to buy now

Short coats are now a must-have for the cold season, and this is also proven by the fact that there are all kinds of models on the market that allow you to create different looks and styles for every occasion.

There is the furry, Teddy-style coat, which provides a warm embrace all day long and is perfect for leisure time and evening outings, also in a cropped version, for the less chilly, that is.

Then there is the padded coat, a real evergreen for those who don't like the cold and don't want to give up practicality. These jackets are perfect for coping with busy days and for moving nimbly from one part of the city to another. If strategically combined, however, they can also be used to create casual chic looks.

Last but not least is the classic short coat, the combed one, perfect for creating formal and other outfits. This model, in fact, can be worn to go to work, and matched with a suit, or for leisure time either when wearing a more elegant or a more casual look. The short coat, in fact, is also perfect when paired with jeans and trainers.

When to wear it? Practically always, at any time of day or evening. Prefer a classic colour, such as black, white or beige, if you want an evergreen to wear from morning to evening. If you want to be daring, on the other hand, you are spoilt for choice: red, fuchsia and green are the colours that brighten up even the gloomiest of days, but there are also patterns and prints. Our favourite? The animalier one.
