Autumn is here, and we couldn't be more eager to layer up in a chic new coat. We took a look at the most popular outerwear trends from the Fall 2016 runways, like puffer coats, patent leather and artful furs, and found budget-friendly versions that capture the designer look without draining your bank account—which means you'll have enough left over to refresh your fall footwear collection.

I love a great pair of jeans. I fancy myself a denim aficionado, but more than that, I'm a fan. Regardless of what some "fashion experts" preach, I don't think skinnies will ever die, but I prefer them high waisted. I love that a designer can swoop in and make $1,000 jeans a thing—Demna Gvasalia could make fashion girls pony up for almost anything it seems (get ready to see your favorite bloggers in Carhartt jackets come spring.) I think that Re/Done changed the denim game by reworking vintage Levi's and making classic cuts cool again, and I'll always be on board for a Jane Birkin-worthy high-waisted flare for spring and summer....

Jac Cameron could teach a master class in the art of layering. She founded her New York-based label AYR as a capsule of edited essentials that can be mixed together endless ways "all year round." Think: wardrobe staples like that perfect jean, great coat, or classic sweater you turn to over and over again. Cameron takes us inside her East Village home, and shows us how she styles herself for the office, travel, weekend drinks, and more.

When temperatures drop, it doesn't matter how chic your outfit is if your coat isn't up to par. It's the one thing that can transform your entire fall look in an instant. Thankfully, the Fall runways were teeming with covetable outerwear, and we're breaking down the must-have trends here. From high-fashion puffers to cozy shearlings and long wool dusters, these are the coat styles to invest in now.
