5 Tokyo Coat Trends You’ll See Everywhere This Winter 2022/2023

Are you feeling that sudden hit of cold as soon as you step out the door? Winter is here, meaning we need a coat and we need one now!

I don’t know about you but during the coldest season, layering and staying warm is all I care about. Looking chic becomes a little less of a priority. Yet, if possible, I still want the best of both worlds. So how do I cheat my way into looking fashionable in the cold, you ask? By having a selection of ultra-trendy coats lined up and ready in your wardrobe of course—it’s a no-brainer. 

Introducing this winter’s coat trends. Be sure not to miss the extra savvy info on winter color and pattern trends along the way!

1. Puffer coat

A puffer coat never seems to go out of style. It makes its appearance every winter with this year being no different. The fashion term “puffer” refers to the puffed-up shape of the coat. From long to short, basic colors to bright, the puffer coat is igniting again and trending everywhere.

Savvy Styling Tip:

When wearing a medium or long-length puffer coat, it’s best to pair it with slim pants and short or long boots. A short-length puffer allows you to mix and match various bottoms. We recommend pairing it with wide pants or a fitted skirt. If your aim is to stand out, try a bold puffer jacket like the one by United Arrows in green. Green is a trend color this season and the bright, vivid color is perfect for chic styling.

2. High neck coat

I have a strong feeling that you’ll see the high-neck coat being worn by many on the streets of Tokyo. A coat with a voluminous neck that protects you from the cold will be a popular choice. Not to mention that this type of coat has a very stylish silhouette.

Savvy Styling Tip:

Select a high-neck coat with a minimalistic finish for a high-quality feel and classy appearance. A soft shoulder line with a relaxed silhouette will further create an elegant mood. That said, if you prefer something a little more out there, check out the high-neck coat by American Holic. A warm padded coat with a high neck design = double trendy. Plus, if you go for yellow—another trending color this season—you can be triple trendy!

3. Trendy pattern jacket 

A tailored jacket is also attracting attention for being a jacket that can leave a solid impression. Everyone needs a well-tailored jacket in their wardrobe! Instead of going for a simple design, this year, it’s best to invest in one with a pattern that’s currently on trend.

Tweed jacket by DouDou | ¥20,900 

Savvy Styling Tip:

This year’s trend is to combine the trendy pattern jacket with a flared skirt or mohair knit for a feminine look. This works especially well with something like the Cadune jacket with a glen check pattern—a trendy pattern this winter. Dressing down with chino pants is also a great idea for fashionable girls. Tweed jackets are also everywhere due to being another trendy pattern this season. With a statement tweed jacket like the one by DouDou, it’s best to keep everything else basic.

4. Collarless coat

Another perfect coat for this season. The loose-fitting design of the collarless coat has just the right amount of looseness to wear all your layerings underneath, yet is still elegant and clean-cut. Although it is feminine in design, it can still be worn over casual outfits.

Collarless jersey melton coat by Vis | ¥11,880

Savvy Styling Tip:

A collarless coat already makes enough of a statement, so stick to basic colors. Opt for a well-balanced, below-the-knee length coat and pair it with long boots. We also highly recommend going for a one-tone color coordination. For example, try the yellow collarless coat from Vis and wear it with yellow pants. As the coat is collarless, wear it with turtleneck knits and accessorize with mufflers.

5. Blouson

For those who may not know, a blouson is a jacket that is drawn tight at the waist, causing it to blouse out and hang nicely over the waistband. This trending coat gives you a beautiful three-dimensional silhouette when worn.

Savvy Styling Tip:

Again, it’s a good idea to go for a blouson coat with an oversized fit so that it can be worn over knits and sweatshirts on those extra cold days. The heat-padded blouson in yellow by Gu is an excellent choice for cold protection. Not only does the yellow warm up your winter outfit but it also does a great job in sharpening your style.
