For a Saturday night double date this week with Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds, Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce were spotted out and about in NYC. Swift was photographed in a chic transitional autumn-to-winter outfit just as the weather has started to turn in the city. For the outing, The Tortured Poets Department singer wore a Gucci GG net corset, a black leather mini skirt, Dior saddle bag and black Louis Vuitton Roxy platform boots. But I can't stop thinking about her long Ralph Lauren camel-hair coat ($2,498)—or this more affordably priced lookalike from Zara ($129)—and how it's the perfect winter staple.
Taylor Swift's Classic Camel Coat Is the Ultimate Winter Wardrobe Staple

The oversized Ralph Lauren coat featured a double-breasted button front and wide lapels and contrasted nicely with Swift's fitted corset. Though Swift's pick is nearly $2,500, you can shop similar styles for $300 or less. I sourced four wool and wool-blend lookalikes so we can all cop the ensemble without totally breaking the bank.

Shop Camel-Colored Wool Coats
1. Abercrombie & Fitch Wool-Blend Tailored Topcoat
Abercrombie & Fitch
This Abercrombie & Fitch camel-colored coat is the perfect fall/winter topcoat to throw over a sweater and a pair of jeans for an elevated, yet casual ensemble. Crafted with a soft wool blend, this layering piece is made with a tailored-fit silhouette. The coat is available in petite and tall lengths as well. (P.S. It has interior and exterior pockets!)
Zara's take on the camel-colored coat has a boxier fit. Also crafted from a wool-blend, it features a lapel collar with long sleeves and shoulder pads for a more structured look. The front welt pockets and double-breasted button closure keep the coat looking sophisticated, yet casual and effortless. Throw it on over a denim-on-denim outfit for a neutral pop of color.
3. J.Crew Wool-Blend Wrap Trench Coat
J.Crew
If you're channeling your inner Sherlock Holmes this autumn/winter, you might wanna opt for the J.Crew wool-blend wrap trench coat. It's single-breasted with tortoise-shell colored-buttons and is complete with a self-tying belt and shoulder epaulettes. Made with incredibly soft Nello Gori Italian wool, this trench is the ultimate winter upgrade to the classic autumnal style.
4. Mango Belted Manteco Wool Coat
Mango
Mango really outdid themselves with this Italian Manteco wool coat. Featuring a long length, two side pockets, slitted sleeves, a back slit and a soft inner lining, this piece will have you ready for a stroll through the park on a particularly chilly day. The most unique part of this piece is that the lapel collar can be buttoned up to create a slouchy funnel neck silhouette, plus the button front and self-tying belt echo the look of a trench coat with a '60s twist. (And it comes in plus sizes too!)
