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.
The Snuggly Shearling Coat
Yes, the time is now to secure your snuggly shearling coat. Survive sub-zero temperatures with Zara s shearling trimmings, Varley s allover snuggle, Ugg s teddybear style, and Mango s monochromatic black waistcoat, with a detachable fur snood. Whichever you choose, all you need underneath is one of the many closet basics, say a slim-fit turtleneck or lightweight knit, we can almost guarantee you have tucked away in your drawers already.
The Wrap Coat
Wrap up in something chic (and cozy!) this winter, like one of the below coats from Banana Republic and Other Stories to Cos and J.Crew. Styling-wise, pair them with a retro sneaker and cashmere sweater—and on especially chilly days, layer in a cute beanie and fluffy scarf from our winter accessories edit.
