A stylish update to a classic windbreaker…
Our editor has sworn by this FP Movement Field Tripper Jacket all season long. It’s perfect for every climate because you can wear it alone or layer it underneath a vest. It has a baggy, oversized fit and an elastic waistband that cinches into a cute bubble hem. Its fleece lining and spacious pockets make it ideal for chilly walks. Our editor wears it with everything from leggings to jeans. ($198, FP Movement)

The impulse buy our editor can’t stop reaching for…
She bought this fleece-lined cardigan on a whim and it’s become a winter staple, especially if you live in the southeast. It’s somewhere between a cardigan and fleece jacket, so it looks chic but will still keep you warm. Uniqlo rotates its styles every season, so buy it while you can. We’d suggest picking a couple of colors since it’s under $50. ($49.90, Uniqlo)

A tried-and-true puffer that everyone on our team approves of…
We tested out Aritzia’s cult-favorite Super Puff line last year, and ever since, it’s been hard for us to find a replacement that hits the same. These puffers are worth their higher price and endless hype thanks to the soft down fill, the thumbhole sleeves, and countless silhouettes that are fresh and on-trend. Not to mention, they wash well and last for years. ($235, Aritzia)

A quilted barn jacket for travel…
If you’re looking for a stylish option that’ll keep you warm and won’t take up a ton of suitcase space, try this barn jacket from Bernardo. It comes in four neutral shades and is filled with an Ecoplume that’s cozy and compact. ($89, Bernardo)

A maxi coat that reminds us of the Amazon parka from five years ago…
Lands’ End is forever where it’s at. This maxi coat reminds us of that coat from Amazon, but sleeker. Perfect for if you’re really looking to bundle up in cold climates or you want to stay warm without countless layers. It comes in a petite length, too. ($206.99+, Lands’ End)

A cape coat that’ll make getting dressed easy…
On the coldest days of the year, it’s hard to figure out how to feel put-together. Our solution? This black coat from Zara with cape detailing. All you have to do is add some Uniqlo Heattech and you’ll stay warm while looking chic. ($119, Zara)

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, perfect for throwing into a suitcase for ski trips. ($19.99, 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. ($230, 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. ($200, Quince)

A vegan leather puffer under $150…
This puffy jacket is part bomber, part traditional puffer, but 100% eye-catching. The buttery-soft vegan leather and 100% recycled filling keep you warm for hours. Since this jacket hits just below the waist, we recommend pairing it with high-waisted jeans or leggings and your favorite chunky boots. ($170, Abercrombie & Fitch)

The ultimate teddy coat…
It’s oversized, hitting just below the knee. Thanks to the roomy fit, you can comfortably layer it with your thickest sweaters, or even a fleece on truly cold days. ($189.95, Fabletics)

A 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 plush and soft, and the oversized fit will keep you enveloped all day long. ($130, Quince)

A drapey coat for when you’re feeling fancy…
Or just completely over puffers (we get it). This merino wool gem from Quince is ideal for just about everything, from long office days and errands to nights out and more formal events. It also comes with a removable belt, so you can style it as you please. ($200, Quince)

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 pockets on each side, so it’s especially ideal for bag-free errands, long walks, or going out. ($279.97, Banana Republic)

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 synthetic-down jacket is an easy buy. It has a high neck, a snow-resistant shell, and a heat-tech liner that’ll reflect your body heat back to you. ({{dynamicPrice}}, Amazon)
