For seasons now, quiet luxury and minimalist fashion have dominated the style scene, but this fall and winter, it’s all about personality-driven dressing and loud luxury. It’s no surprise, then, that fashion people are wearing Penny Lane coats everywhere I look.
A Penny Lane coat is a mid- to long-length jacket featuring shearling or faux-fur trim on the collar and cuffs. Its name was inspired by the fictional rock groupie Penny Lane, played by Kate Hudson in the 2000 film Almost Famous. In the movie, Hudson wore a brown version with white shearling, pairing it with straight-leg jeans and boots to elevate a simple look and make a statement.
Although the style was popular and well-known during the early 2000s, it has made a comeback thanks to designers and celebrities. Charlotte Simone, a British ready-to-wear label, is the brand that A-listers like Taylor Swift, Charli XCX, Emily Ratajkowski, and Dua Lipa turn to for chic fur-trimmed coats. Meanwhile, Magda Butrym, Nour Hammour, and Susanna Chow are among the luxury names modernizing this fun and buzzy coat trend.
With winter upon us, It girls everywhere are pulling out their Penny Lane coats. Whether they love or hate the cold weather, these women who own one spend all year waiting for the temperatures to drop so they can wear theirs. Honestly, I’d be the same. The jacket has such a rich vibe that it becomes the outfit. It can elevate a sweatpant-and-loafer ensemble, complement baggy jeans and a cashmere sweater, and add polish to a miniskirt-and-tights outfit.
Below, explore my edit of the chicest Penny Lane coats to wear this winter.
