A sleek, packable puffer…
Here’s an option if you need the insulation of a puffer but don’t like the bulk. It’s designed to fit close to the body for a sleeker silhouette. It’s also water-repellent and so lightweight that it rolls up into a tiny little package, so you can throw it in a suitcase for ski trips or easily store it over the summer. ($24.99, 32 Degrees)
A quilted jacket you’ll wear in three out of four seasons…
This high-quality liner jacket is ideal for layering underneath a heavier coat on the coldest winter days, or for wearing as-is during the spring and fall. It’s made entirely of recycled materials, right down to the vegan-friendly, synthetic fill that retains warmth even when wet. A shawl collar, patch front pockets, and matte finish lend it a timeless vibe. You’ll get your money’s worth out of this one. ($210, Finisterre)
A chic coat with a built-in scarf…
We’ll let you in on a little secret: This coat has been one of our highest-clicked items we’ve ever written about. It’s a dead ringer for designer styles like it, and made with a thick merino wool-blend felt that’ll make you feel enveloped in the best way. Throw this coat on when you’re heading out for a night on the town, or if you just want to look put-together while you’re running errands. ($189.90, Quince)
A vegan leather puffer under $90…
This puffy jacket is part bomber, part traditional puffer, but 100% eye-catching. The buttery-soft vegan leather and 100% recycled filling keep you ultra-warm for hours. Since this jacket hits just below the waist, we recommend pairing it with high-waisted jeans and your favorite chunky boots. ($80, Abercrombie & Fitch)
A maxi-length bomber that can withstand super-cold temps…
This extra-long coat is here to remind you that performance clothes can actually look sophisticated. The diamond-quilted bomber style has vegan insulation, which means it can withstand temperatures as low as 14 degrees. It’s also wind-repellent and water-resistant. If you don’t love the quilted texture, you can wear it reversed (and get all that quilted coziness on the inside). ($129.97, Frank And Oak)
The ultimate teddy coat…
It’s oversized, hitting just below the knee, and feels just like a warm hug. Thanks to the roomy fit, you can comfortably layer it with your thickest sweaters, or even a fleece on truly cold days. Don’t let the material fool you, though. This HQ’r-fave is machine-washable. ($149.99, Madewell)
A hooded faux fur jacket that’s next-level cozy…
Is there such a thing as too much cozy? Not a chance. We recommend adding this jacket to cart if you’re someone who likes to be wrapped up in a blanket at all times. The faux fur is ultra plush and soft, and the hood keeps you shielded from the elements. ($99.90, Quince)
A double-breasted coat for when you’re feeling fancy…
Or just completely over puffers (hey, we get it). This double-breasted gem from Banana Republic is designed to be layered, thanks to its relaxed silhouette. It also comes with a removable belt, so you can style it as you please. ($320, Banana Republic)
A sherpa aviator jacket with a relaxed vibe…
The fit is oversized, so it’s roomy enough to layer over a heavier sweater. Not to mention, it’s incredibly cool-looking, so it won’t detract from your winter-ready outfit. This has two zippered pockets on the side, so it’s especially ideal for bag-free errands, long walks, or going out. ($72, Abercrombie & Fitch)
A Columbia jacket that’s a sure bet if you’re overwhelmed with options…
Maybe you just need a durable, no-frills option that you can wear on hikes or while walking the dog. This hooded, synthetic-down jacket is an easy buy. It has a hood, a water-resistant shell, and extended cuffs (with thumb holes) to keep your hands warm. And for added snugness, the inside has an omni-heat reflective polyester lining, meaning it reflects your body heat back to you. ({{dynamicPrice}}, Amazon)
