I’m as ready to test Spring 2025 trends as the next fashion insider, but as a New Yorker, winter coats and jackets will be my staple for at least the next month. I spend plenty of time outside, so I like to keep my finger on the pulse of the latest coat trends. With that in mind, I’ve noticed this style gaining traction among celebrities and street-style sets.
Thanks to Toteme, the minimalist label that became a key player in the quiet luxury trend, the built-in scarf silhouette first entered the scene. The brand released the original black-and-white whipstitch-trimmed scarf coat in 2021 with immediate success, and it’s since become a mainstay on my social media feeds and in real life.
Plenty of other iterations have sprung up in the year since, solidifying the relaxed style as a bona fide fashion girl favorite. Most recently, Kendall Jenner wore the trend not once but twice—she bundled up in a long black fringe coat just this past week while in Connecticut and wore a cozy minimalist scarf coat from The Row back in December. The style was also a major street trend during New York Fashion Week in February.
