Our Favorite Winter Coats at All Price Points

Here’s an option if you need the insulation of a puffer but don’t like the bulk. The mid-length hem covers your butt (which you’ll be thankful for in super-cold weather), and it’s designed to fit close to the body for a sleeker silhouette. It’s also waterproof and has a hood, so you can wear it in the snow. Plus, it’s ultra-lightweight and rolls up into a tiny little package — and comes with its own travel pouch — so you can throw it in a suitcase for ski trips or easily store it over the summer. ($58.99, Walmart)

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. ($220, Finisterre)

And keep you looking chic, thanks to its glossy faux-leather finish. The innovative design has an oversized fit with luxe finishes and heavy lining, paired with a cord drawstring to bring in the waist when you want it. Deep pockets, a stand-up collar, and machine-wash compatibility take this one over the edge. ($398, Alo)

This extra-long coat is here to remind you that performance clothes can actually look chic. The diamond-quilted bomber style and sleek silhouette look sophisticated, but thanks to the vegan insulation, 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). ($219, Frank And Oak)

It’s oversized, hitting right around your calf, and has dropped shoulders and a removable tie belt — all details that give this classic coat an editorial edge. Thanks to the roomy fit, you can comfortably layer it with your thickest sweaters, or even a fleece on truly cold days. ($86.99, H&M)

Nothing’s more classic (or cozier, for that matter) than shearling. Even better: This one’s made of vegan shearling, so it’s animal-friendly and much less expensive than the real thing. The hip-length hem and roomy fit are perfect for wearing over chunky sweaters. It’s finished off with lined lapels and oversized patch pockets. ($79, Bernardo)   

The fit is oversized, so it’s roomy enough to layer over a heavier sweater, and a drawstring lets you cinch the hem to stay insulated. It’s also incredibly cool-looking, so it won’t detract from your winter-ready outfit. This has a zippered pocket on the sleeve in addition to two side pockets, so it’s especially ideal for dog walks and bag-free errands. ($110, Abercrombie & Fitch)

And for good reason. It’s very warm, has tons of easily accessible pockets, and a fleece-lined hood. It’s long enough to cover your butt, so you’ll be able to wear leggings without freezing. If you’re skeptical — don’t be. It’s got almost 20,000 five-star reviews. ($151.99+, Amazon)

Maybe you just need a durable 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. ($105.79+, Amazon)
