Bundle Up With These 25 Best Winter Coats

Snow-covered ground means it’s time to bring out the heavy coats—here are our favorites.

It's cold outside, which means that you need to be prepared with all of the essentials. Keeping up-to-date on the latest trends can be exhausting, but it can also be exhilarating. The tricky part is maintaining a balance between fashionable and, well, practical. Because who can really wear heels in the snow or rock the latest mini-skirt trend without freezing?

Keep in mind that practical does not have to equal unfashionable, and stylish does not have to equal uncomfortable. This winter you can manage the impossible and get the best of both worlds by staying warm and cozy in your coat while also looking chic.

Look no further for your cold-weather must-haves. Here are 25 of the best winter coats for women that you can dress up or down and wear all over town, all season long.
