20 Best Winter Coats to Keep You Warm and Stylish All Season
Winter comes suddenly and swiftly, often without warning. One minute it’s a crisp day; the next, bone-chilling temperatures and windy gusts of snow enter with full force. That’s why finding the best winter coat is necessary before the season even begins. Complete with durable boots and fleece-lined leggings, it’ll will be your most-worn essential. There are four main types of winter coats to consider when shopping:
✔️ Puffer coats are made with down material (insulated with duck or geese feathers) or a down alternative (insulated with synthetic materials). Down alternative jackets are less expensive than true down coats, but they also tend to be heavier. When shopping, look for the down fill power; the higher the fill power, the warmer the coat. A fill power of 550 to 750 is pretty warm and anything between 750 to 900 goes above and beyond.
✔️ Tailored wool-blend coats are usually made with a blend of wool and polyester. Winter coats made with 100% wool are going to be the warmest—they also tend to be the most stylish and can be worn with a large variety of outfits.
✔️ Parkas, a.k.a. anorak jackets, are usually waterproof and hooded. Many parkas are also lined with faux fur to boost the insulation.
✔️ Insulated performance jackets are ideal for adventurers who love to exercise outdoors in the winter. These coats are often made with fleece and synthetic materials for warmth, as well as nylon for durability—perfect for hikers, runners, and skiers who stay active during the colder months.
Once you figure out the type of coat you’re looking for, you can shop a bit smarter. Ahead, we’ve rounded up the warmest winter coats that don’t sacrifice style.
