When the cold arrives, there’s one garment that becomes the absolute star of the women’s wardrobe: the coat. Beyond keeping us warm, it has the power to define our style and transform any look.
This season, the trends in women’s coats strike the perfect balance between functionality and elegance. Warm fabrics, loose cuts, and neutral tones set the tone for autumn-winter 2025/2026.
1. Checked coats and jackets: the most timeless print of the winter
The checked pattern makes a strong comeback this season in its most elegant and cozy version, combining earthy, rust, and mustard tones. Pieces like our Biella coat and Gelgo jacket are a perfect example of how to update a classic while preserving its charm. They pair beautifully with neutral garments, adding contrast and personality to any look. Thanks to their mid-length or waist cut, they’re super versatile pieces — becoming one of the must-haves of the season.
2. Oversized coats: comfort and style in a minimalist key
The oversized coat continues to take center stage in women’s fashion. Its loose, structured silhouette offers that coveted combination of comfort and sophistication. This season, it comes in neutral and heathered tones. A type of coat that can be worn both for casual looks and for more formal occasions.
Models like the Aosta and Lecco coats perfectly embody this trend. Neutral tones and clean lines make these two coats ideal options for any winter day. The key to oversized coats lies in their balance: they add volume while preserving a feminine essence.
3. Shearling and reversible coats: a versatile classic
Shearling and reversible coats are stronger than ever this season. Their appeal lies in the duality they offer: one soft, plush side that provides warmth and another with a more polished, technical finish.
Briona reversible women’s coat
At Rivera, we embrace this trend with models like Briona and Sirmione, which combine comfort and design with a contemporary twist. Their versatility is their greatest asset: they can be worn with jeans and flat boots for a casual look, or over a dress or flowing trousers for a perfectly polished outfit.
The shearling trend perfectly fits today’s pursuit of durable garments made from high-quality materials. In sand, taupe, or ecru tones, they integrate effortlessly into any modern wardrobe.
4. Long classic coats in neutral tones
With so many trends and stimuli around us, long, classic-cut coats in neutral shades remain synonymous with sophistication. This winter, coats come in a natural palette ranging from heather grey to beige and soft brown, with hues inspired by stone and earth. Garments that are not only easy to match but also elevate any outfit with refined simplicity. Coats like Cuneo and Tivoli embody this perfectly: high-quality, timeless pieces to enjoy year after year.
