This $40 Old Navy Coat Has Us (And Everyone Else) Obsessed

“For $40, it feels like a $400 coat,” she said, noting it is cut to be drapey and slightly oversized and therefore great for layering. “And it comes in tall!!! Long enough sleeves!”

One by one, so many other people here at HuffPost shared that they were buying the coat, too, and that they loved it on arrival. “I got my mauve Old Navy coat and I’m obsessed!!” said a news editor in California. “It really does feel like a much more expensive coat!”

From coast to coast, it sure seemed like just about everyone on staff was buying this two-button notched-collar coat while it was on sale, whether in chic black, cozy oatmeal, heather brown, heather gray, or gorgeous mauve for a pop of color. Men in the office got in on the action, too.

The coat is available in women’s sizes XS–4X in regular, tall, and petite sizing. Aiken noted she had to steam out wrinkles from the shipping process before wearing or even judging the coat, so you may want to do the same. But Old Navy says the current sale price is “this week only,” so act fast to get this coat that’s only $40 but feels much more expensive.

"Coat is just heavy enough to wear until temperatures drop below 50. It looks like amazing on me. I did go down a size since the style runs large." —Anonymous

"After reading the reviews about how this coat is over-sized if you go with your regular size, so I decided to size down, and it fits like a glove! I'm usually a large and ordered a medium and its absolutely perfect! The material is soft, not like the itchy wool I was expecting. The mauve color is so pretty with just enough pink but not too much to be in your face (if that makes sense?). I can't wait to wear it out!" —Madison G.

"I was surprised by how much I love this coat. I tried it on in store and it's just really nice (I bought the light gray). It's not lined but it's definitely thicker than a coatigan/sweater jacket. I've worn it a couple times in mid-30s mornings while walking to work and it's actually quite warm. Overall I highly recommend and would absolutely buy again." —Anonymous

Our friend from HuffPost also bought this coat and this is what he had to say:

“After so many of my HuffPost colleagues told me about this one, I just couldn’t say no (especially not for $40), I went with the mauve coat and when it arrived a few days later, I instantly fell in love with it. It’s incredibly soft and beautifully cut and though I still suspect it’s too light to wear in the depths of winter (even if I layer) and too heavy to wear on warm spring days, for this price, even if I only pull it out of the closet a handful of times, it’ll totally worth it (and I know I’ll look dapper on every one of those days).” —Noah Michaelson, Huffpost Personal editor
