VIBE
Originally famous for its luxe, stylish outerwear made from top quality materials like leather, shearling, and down, Searle has long been the place to head if you find yourself casting about for a coat in Manhattan. They have since expanded their offerings to include on-trend womenswear and accessories from designers like Magaschoni, L.A.M.B., Aysha, and Rebecca Minkoff, too, but don’t fret that they’ve lost their focus. The collections remain just as expertly edited as ever and are displayed elegantly in the bright, airy boutique space.

WHY WE LIKE IT
Seriously, this is the best place in town to score a winter coat. There’s a huge selection of designs, and the high-quality construction and materials mean that you’ll have a piece that will last you for seasons to come. We love the wearable yet current clothing selection too, and if you hit Searle during a sale, you can count on some great buys.
GOOD TO KNOW
If you can’t make it in person, check out Searle’s new e-boutique. Although most of the stock is womenswear, Searle now also carries a limited selection of men’s coats.
