Oversized Puffer Jacket in ochre
With this puffer, you'll really bring the sunshine into the dark, cold weather months. The unique shade is the initial pull, but I also encourage you to note it's an *incredibly* good price, plus there's a collar!
Glowing Review: "I am not a fan of puffer jackets, but this one caught my eye and I decided to go for it. It is a beautiful jacket, looks expensive and different. It's definitely a wardrobe staple piece for winter! The color is more of a mustard which I liked as I thought it might be a bit too bright."
the st. helen
Come over here and check out patchwork at its best. This unisex cropped wool jacket will definitely keep you protected from the harsh winter winds. (While looking boss as ever—peep that silhouette and those vegan leather pockets).
Glowing Review: "This coat is so classy, soft, and beautiful!"
the cocoon coat
Yes, the high collar here functions as both a neck protector and a super chic design choice. As the name suggests, it's a warm cocoon! The wool-cashmere material is almost too comfy for words.
Glowing Review: "I ordered the Cocoon Coat in Olive, and it is beautiful! It is super warm on cold days. The collar will lay flat on the shoulders for warmer days, and fold up to block the wind. The fit is straight, but it is roomy enough to wear over sweaters."
Voluminous Belted Wool Coat
Don't let the relaxed fit here fool you—this is one seriously reliable layer. The baggy slouchiness will send you straight into that "dark academia aesthetic" territory.
Glowing Review: "This coat is an oversized, slouched fit so I was able to wear a chunky knit sweater or lots of layers underneath it. The length of the coat hit between my ankle and mid-calf. It's a good fall/winter staple piece."
The Powder Parka
This parka comes with two length options, JIC you want to go for a longer look. It's also been ~engineered~ to provide warmth in temps as cold as -22°F.
Glowing Review: "This jacket is seriously warm. It's kept me warm through -40 windchills. It is wind proof solid! And heavy! This is the coat you want for serious cold. I'm tempted to get another because I love it so much, but it's not for everyday wear."
Gertrude Long Teddy Coat
Sometimes, you need to embrace your inner Paddington Bear. UGG's got one stylish way for you to do just that.
Glowing Review: "Looks great with everything. It's so cozy and the pockets are warm. I look so put together and trendy with this coat with no effort. I am usually size XS-S, but more often a S, and that's what I got. The fit is perfect. Just how it's supposed to be—layering or not. Good job, UGG."
Women's Suttle Mountain™ Long Insulated Jacket
Something that we love almost as much as thermal insulation is deep pockets for all of our many knick-knacks. Luckily, this coat has both!
Glowing Review: "My very first Columbia purchase and I love it! It keeps my hips from aching in the frigid cold (North Idaho winter). It fits my vibe and the breast pocket is a great place to keep my crystals <3 Highly recommend! The faux fur can be taken off, BTW:) I'm 5’7” and weigh 170 lbs; I like to wear heavy sweatshirts with my coats so I always size up to a large and it fits perf! "
Penny Lane Coat
Just like its namesake, the Penny Lane coat will have you looking like a vintage dream girl. That corduroy-esque material absolutely ups the cool factor here, too.
Glowing Review: "This is SUCH a cute coat. It's definitely a 1970's vibe which is what I wanted and it's lightweight enough that you could wear it multiple seasons."
The ReNew Long Liner
Sweet, simple, and subtle. Everlane wants to supply you with a staple here. Now say that all three times fast.
Glowing Review: "The coat has a modern shape, a perfect length (to keep all parts warm) and isn't so puffy that it makes you look like the Michelin man. I have people stop me and asked where I got my jacket. Styles well with everything from business to casual chunky boots and big sweaters. It's also a great travel companion."
Womens PU Faux Leather Jacket
You are a cool girl. We've decided that on your behalf. Therefore, you need the ultimate cool girl necessity this winter: a go-to (faux) leather piece.
Glowing Review: "This jacket makes me feel like I belong in the matrix and it is bad ass. Ordered a small and it is perfect. Some people say the sleeves are short; mine go up to the wrist with enough space for a long sleeve to peekaboo about and inch to an inch and a half but I was looking for just that fit."
Altamira Down Parka
This popular down-filled style also has poly-knit lining in its collar for even more warmth. With more than 300 reviews and a 92 percent recommendation rate, it’s definitely a worthy winter coat.
Glowing Review: “Bought this coat for my mom and ended up buying one for myself after I tried hers on. I love the longer length. It’s perfect for traveling and outdoor adventures.”
Shawl Collar Coat
The wide, rounded collar on this neutral style make it an undeniable standout. It also comes in three other shades!
Glowing Review: “I absolutely love this coat! Great fit (got my usual size), stunning color, and thick material that will be both practical and stylish in colder weather. Definitely looks more expensive than it is.”
Double Breasted Coat
This gorge shade will bring some life back into dreary winter weather. It also happens to be a top-rated style with reviewers, so odds are, it won’t be in stock for long!
Glowing Review: “This is a fabulous emerald green color, and it is very, very soft. Easy to move around in it. I ordered the medium and it was true to size.”
Felted Wool Chore Coat
A blazer and sweater in one, this hybrid design will be your go-to chore coat in frigid temps. You can still layer thicker outerwear over it if needed, but the wool fabric will keep you pretty dang toasty.
Glowing Review: “Very warm and so comfortable. Love how easy it pairs with jeans or leggings.”

A parka is a winter outerwear classic, but the soft, sheepskin-like (vegan!) borg lining on this one makes it better than the rest. With more than 20 reviews, 4.3-star rating out of 5, and an under-$110 price point, this one’s a real winner.
Glowing Review: “Bought this coat to take on holiday. Fits lovely with ample room for added layers. Comes up a bit long as I’m only 5' 2". It’s also not too bulky or heavy to carry around. Looks great with dresses!”
Barrea Coat
Wear this faux-fur style with or without the belt, depending on how much you want to show off your cute winter outfit underneath.
Stretch Water Repellent 700 Fill Power Down Parka
This toasty option’s down fill combined with its water-repellent exterior material will not only keep you v toasty but also ensures you’ll stay dry from the icy elements. This style also has 300+ reviews with a 4.5-star rating out of 5.
Glowing Review: “Great travel coat. Squishes down so small, but very warm when needed. Wore it on long overnight flight, so I didn’t have to wear very warm clothes. Great fit. Love the stretch.”
Constable Quilted Longline Jacket
How chic is this quilted Barbour one? The brand is a fave of Kate Middleton’s, BTW. This classic version has a 4.7-star rating out of 5 and features corduroy trim at the sleeves, pocket, and collar. The lining also traps in heat to keep you extra warm.
Glowing Review: “Love all the pockets! The coat is just the right length, lightweight but warm—great travel piece.”
The Brrly Coat

Montrose Belted Trench Coat
Yes, you totally can wear a trench on those occasional winter days when it’s not utterly freezing outside. Just layer a chunky sweater underneath and pair with jeans, ankle booties, and sunnies for an effortless look.
Diag Hooded Raincoat
Similar to a trench, this raincoat might not provide the most warmth compared to the rest of your go-to outerwear. But it’ll certainly keep you dry during those rainy winter days when it’s not quite cold enough to turn into snow, but it’s still pretty dang miserable. Throw it over some knit layers and pair it with rain boots for a chic ensemble.
Hourglass Single-Breasted Coat
The exaggerated hourglass silhouette of this beautiful blue coat will turn heads, and the roomy sleeves mean you can fit more layers underneath. The wool fabric will keep you nice and warm when you have to leave your apartment.
Keep Me Company French Terry Coat
A super-soft fleece coat in this pretty winter-white shade is just what your closet is missing. The boxy fit ensures you don‘t feel constricted when you’re out and about.
Black Monogram Hopuff Long Jacket
The monotone logos on this black puffer make it anything but boring. It’s also filled with recycled polyester, it has a removable hood, and it features elastic cuffs to keep the cold O-U-T.
Downdrift Parka
You already know that Patagonia makes some of the most durable, dependable outerwear in the game. So it’s time to invest in a parka that won’t let you down, like this ultra-insulated, weather-resistant one in a gorge, muted shade of blue.
Glowing Review: “Love this jacket! I have a few other Patagonia jackets that are perfect for mild/cold winter days, and needed one for very cold/snowy winter days. This fits the bill. It’s definitely a little bulky and boxy, but that’s what I love about it. It’s super comfortable to wear.”
Shawl Collar Coat
Part shawl, part coat, this gray number is the epitome of chic. It also has pockets and wide cuffs at the arm for an extra-cozy factor.
Vintage Custom-Made Wool Peacoat
Opt for the preloved route if you wanna score a coat that not many people will have. This double-breasted peacoat has pretty buttons and a thick fabric that’s fully lined for warmth.
Homecoat
Let me tell you something: This may be the most comforting coat I’ve ever tried on. While it’s called a “homecoat,” you can totally wear this out of the house as well to make a bold statement. It comes in multiple colors and feels like you’re sporting a calming weighted blanket.
Glowing Review: “I finally worked up the courage to treat myself and shell out the $$$. This was one of the best purchases I have ever made. Since receiving this precious cocoon, I rush home every day after work, shower, get in my cozies, and wrap myself up.”
Celena Coat
This best-selling coat has a classic black-and-white houndstooth pattern that just screams “it’s officially winter!” The detachable belt means you can wear it a couple different ways, and the vent in the back will keep you from overheating when you’re all bundled up. Note: Just size way down!
Glowing Review: “Love this coat. It’s stunning. It is a very oversized fit though, so definitely size down. I’m usually a 2 or 4 or XS or S so got the XXS. If they had a smaller size I probably would go with that. I also cinch it and think it’s best worn cinched.”
Brushed Midi Shacket
This shacket has a 4.2-star rating out of 5, and while it’s not technically a coat, the length and thicker material still make this a clutch layering piece for winter.
Glowing Review: “I bought this to wear with jeans/joggers instead of a bulky coat, but it’s smart enough to wear with a dress or skirt too. The material is thick and brushed on the outside.”
Patrice Coat
The trim on this makes this sophisticated solid black style the opposite of basic. You’ll get so many compliments on this piece, and the lined front pockets will get tons of use so your hands stay warm too.
Wool Cashmere Short Wrap Coat

Glowing Review: “This is the coat every woman needs in her wardrobe. It’s simple yet elegant. It goes with jeans as easily as it goes with dresses. It’s the perfect length. The fabric isn’t too heavy or too light. It’s also soft to the touch and not scratchy.”
Graphic Check Princess Coat
Mix this pretty pick with other plaid pieces in your closet for the ultimate wintery style statement. This is the kind of coat you can wear with other neutrals or pair with pops of bold color.
Robina Patchwork Printed Cotton Coat
ICYMI, all things patchwork are still very in, and this style from Sea New York keeps the boho vibes going with that gorge contrasting floral quilting.
