Can you believe it’s time to pull out the winter coats? Cold weather is here. The best way to stay warm is with the right gear. Body heat can only do so much. If you have ski plans or outdoor focused trips coming up, you’ll want to have the best winter coats. Beyond that, we have to stay warm here in NYC! From puffy coats to a packable jacket and stylish coats, we are sharing all of our favorite options for that necessary outer layer this year. These are the winter jackets we have our eye on for the coolest season ahead.
Material
Firstly, we all want to think about what we can do for extra warmth in our winter wardrobe. A good winter jacket is one that will keep you warm no matter what the weather is like. Especially when it’s really wet out. Synthetic insulation and a weatherproof outer shell will be key here. It’s one thing to be warm when you put a jacket on. But it’s another when the snow and sleet are in action and you need your jacket to brave that weather. Temperature changes are inevitable and having a coat that maybe is fleece inside and weatherproof on the outside is the most ideal option for cold-weather gear. Our top pick is anything made for skiing! On top of this, merino wool or cashmere blends are so cozy for the extreme cold while keeping you look put together.
Design Features
Secondly, the design features will make the world of a difference for a warm winter coat. For instance, how many pockets does it have? Are there internal pockets too for extra jacket storage? A great coat will also have a removable hood as an option to have. We personally love deep front pockets, especially having kids I am finding that I always have their stuff in my pockets when we’re on the go. Furthermore, we’ve also seen packable winter coats which are perfect for any travel you might have coming up. Outerwear lovers know just how difficult it can be to pick only one new warm jacket for the season. Winter weather in the past few years has been extremely bearable but we got snow a bit earlier this year than we have previously so we’re looking to get prepared! A great option for extra jacket features are a removable outer shell. A few brands offer jackets that are really 2 in 1s where you can unzip them and you have something like a fleece and then a weatherproof shell.
Trends
Finally, it’s no secret we love faux fur coats. They are so fun to dress up any look and while they’re not normally for everyday use, they do look good on all body types and can come in cropped versions as well. Moreover, we really like thicker trench coats too. Again, we wouldn’t be doing winter hikes in these but they are great jacket options that can still protect you from sharp winds while dressing up for a night out or meetings.
