It is official: The colder months are here. Though I've spent entire winters suppressing the harsh truth that temperatures are in fact below zero, this year I've discovered an upside to these unavoidable conditions. Gone are the days of opting for a winter coat solely for functional purposes. Treat your winter blues by dressing in this season's trendiest colors, fabrics, and silhouettes without sacrificing warmth. After over 20 rather frigid winters, I’ve accomplished the art of staying warm and on trend this season.
While warmth is imperative, it no longer puts a restraint on your winter wardrobe. In fact, outerwear is the hero piece that completes your full look. From puffers that could double as sleeping bags and oversize teddy-bear shearlings, this season’s winter coats will undoubtedly disrupt your seasonal slump. Fortunately, I've put in the harsh hours of freezing in NYC to decipher which coats hold true to the testament of being both cozy and cool. Equally as trendy as they are practical, scroll through winter’s best 22 coats to buy now.
The matching tie-belt is imperative in colder temps, but it's also a chic way to accentuate your waist with an oversize silhouette.
The perfect excuse to buy another puffer.
Dress this coat up with an evening look, or elevate your go-to grocery outfit with this cozy coat.
If this doesn't brighten up your mood…
Sleeping bag puffer—does it get any cozier?
Proof you can still wear your favorite floral dress in winter with the right coat.
Another classic comeback worth reinvesting in if you got rid of your old North Face coat.
Nothing like an oversize wool number to keep you warm. In this case, more is more.
And so the pink trend continues.
Get ahead of spring's sorbet pastel trend by trying it for winter.
A very crucial lesson I've learned is that all winter coats must have some sort of closure.
Pro tip: Opt for one size bigger to guarantee warmth.
Fun fact: This Roksanda x Lululemon piece is actually three coats in one.
I always appreciate a puffer sleeve moment.
The fur collar is actually the hero piece of this jacket. It keeps your face and neck warm, which when walking through the blistering streets of NYC, is key.
Know your roots and revert back to what will always be a tried and true staple. (Also, thank you Dior for brining back the buffalo check).
Stand's mission is to offer high quality pieces at an accessible price. Bravo.
Spice up your mundane jeans and sweater with a statement coat.
The OG of winter coats, but make it #fashion.
A marriage of the soft leather and puffer trends, because why not?
Name something warmer than basically a glorified quilt.
