The Best Coats For A Cali Fall

It's true—we don't have any Nor'Easter storms knocking on our doors like our East Coast counterparts might, but the Cali fall can certainly bring some chilly weather with it. Whether it's the season's must-have shearling or a little leather jacket, there's plenty of
cozy, chic styles worth checking out now. Instead of trawling the
town for the best, not-too-bulky jackets and killer, made-to-last
coats, we've gone ahead and done all the legwork.

Here
are our picks of the five best coats available to us L.A.
ladies:

1. Forever21 Urban Quilted Jacket:
A little red leather jacket is the season's hottest statement outerwear option, and this F21 style clocks in at under $50, so it's really perfect.

Urban Quilted Jacket, $40, available at Forever 21, 6801 Hollywood Boulevard (at Highland Avenue); 323-462-8500.

2. 3.1 Phillip Lim Cropped Shearling:
We're obsessed with this two-tone shearling coat from Phillip Lim. Wear it with everything all fall long because it's beautifully crafted and totally on-trend.

Shearling and Suede Jacket, $1500, available at 3.1 Phillip Lim, 631 North Robertson Boulevard (at Beverly Boulevard); 310-358-1988.

3. Wren Leopard Coat:
If it's good enough for Alexa Chung, it's certainly good enough for us. This mid-thigh length is perfect for an L.A. fall to wear over a pair of 501s and a T-shirt.

Wren Long Faye Jacket, $795, available at Satine Boutique, 8134 West 3rd Street (at Crescent Heights Avenue); 323-655-2142.

4. TenOverSix Tommy Coat:
An archival Balenciaga jacket inspired this TenOverSix coat, and we love the drama of the neck wrap. Wear it in a bow over a little leather dress, and you'll be killing it for any evening out.

Tommy Coat, $945, available at TenOverSix, 8425 Melrose Avenue (at North Croft Avenue); 323-330-9355.

5. Creatures of Comfort Cape:
We're mad about Creature of Comfort's in-house line and this cape is our newest obsession. It's light, not bulky, and totally cozy.
Creatures of Comfort Sarah Dot Cape, $450, available at Creatures of Comfort, 7971 Melrose Avenue (at Edinburgh Avenue); 323-655-7855.
