Outerwear can often be a hefty investment. Thanks to a fresh crop of new arrivals from brands that marry quality with accessibility, finding affordable winter coats is no longer such a challenge. Although being the ultimate wardrobe necessity during the colder months, timeless and versatile styles—like shearling styles, or long, wool overcoats—often come with a higher price tag, but we’ve handpicked a selection of affordable winter coats, each priced at under $500.

Vogue’s Under $500 Winter Coat Edit:

This assortment keeps true to the practical approach of coat-wearing—think versatile styles with a stylish aesthetic. These are the kind of coats you can wear year after year. You will find closet classics, such as faux fur and teddy coats in warm tones, sleek tailored options in everyday neutrals, and of course, some shearling-trimmed styles, waist-cinching wrap silhouettes, rain-ready puffer coats, and even a little animal-print to make getting dressed in the morning a bit easier. We could all use that around this time of year, right? Below, find our roundup of the best affordable winter coats, all under $500.

The Puffer Coat

When the weather starts dipping in temperatures, reaching for a rain- and wind-resistant puffer coat is only right. The ultimate cold-weather topper, the seasonal staple provides the right amount of warmth, and even features a roomy enough fit to compliment the chunkiest of knitwear numbers. The best part? Come rain or snow, this staple will never go out of style.

The Faux Fur Topper

Fur is back, baby. If you re not shopping for vintage for the real deal, faux fur styles are making waves among the style set. The latter is a particular favorite amongst Vogue editors and even celebrities (here’s looking at you, Hailey Bieber and Kendall Jenner). To achieve the après-ski vibe even while trekking through the city, look to fuzzy styles from Stand Studio and Apparis to Gap and Free People.

The Wool Overcoat

A menswear-inspired wool overcoat will have serious stylistic mileage in your cold-weather capsule wardrobe. Just take the below options, for example. Neutral options abound in the category, from Aritzia s grey double-breasted coat to Source Unknown s oversized Wallis coat. For a ladylike fit, look to Massimo Dutti s wool peacoat, and for a bit of edge, opt for dramatic structure with The Frankie Shop s Gaia coat.
