15 Rihanna Coats to Inspire Your Winter Wardrobe

The Basics

Start off with the classic pairing: puffer jacket, jeans and ankle boots. Top it off with a statement bag like the GucciGhost tote. (Mind you, Rihanna wore this in August.) 

It's Electric

An electric blue windbreaker, like this one by Balenciaga, works for more athletic-inspired looks (especially with a Fenty x Puma stiletto boot).

Statement Lengths

Whether or not you're repping your favorite presidential candidate, you can still make a statement with dramatic lengths by pairing a long coat over a minidress (or, if you're Rihanna, an oversized tee).

Heartbreaker

The only thing more quintessentially Rihanna about wearing this heart-shaped fur coat by Saint Laurent, is that she wore it with denim cut-offs and a baseball cap. Translate the look for winter with some leather pants and heeled boots.

Keeping it Casual

Rihanna wore this long puffer in between filming scenes for Ocean's Eight, but it easily doubles as a "lazy day errands" outfit topper. 

Lessons in Layering, Pt. 1

Layer your leather shearling over a hoodie. For a casual look: throw on some distressed jeans and Timbs.

Lessons in Layering, Pt. 2

For a romantic iteration of the above coat, layer it over a velvety slip and tie a bow in your hair. And in classic RiRi fashion, accessorize with a glass of wine. 

Va Va Voom

Let a puffer with enough volume and shine, like RiRi's Raf Simons style, do the talking. Wear it over an LBD and some lace-up boots and you're good to go. (She wore this one in August too.)

Talk to the Hood

A long fur like this Fenty x Puma style is perfect for days when you don't want to deal to people.

High Roller

Layer an oversized cargo jacket with nonchalantly rolled-up sleeves with a big tee (which you are of course wearing as a dress), sheer tights and black leather ankle boots. Accessorizing with a bejeweled choker says, "IDGAF but I tried just enough." 

Off-White

RiRi's take on winter whites involves head-to-toe cream knits, velvet boots and a Burberry shearling-lined suede jacket.

It's in the Jeans

On lighter days, the shearling-lined denim jacket is more than enough. Since Rihanna keeps her style fun, she opts for an embroidered piece, like this one by Gucci.

Purple Reign

Go heavy on the drapery and keep it monochromatic (courtesy of Vetements here), and add a pop of white with a bright pair of sock boots. 

Is That Velvet?

The fabric of the season doesn't only pertain to clinger booties and slip dresses—it works for puffer jackets too, like this one by Isa Arfen. (You might want to ditch the bandeau crop top and bundle up, though.)

Puff Piece

Rihanna's jacket by Ella Boucht is puffiest puffer of them all. With it, she proves voluminous coats like these are more fun in light colors, especially when paired with a cheeky tee by Vetements and matching lace shorts.
