And while many of this season’s picks gesture toward officewear and uniforms (think pinstriped suits, roomy trousers, pleated skirts), great styling makes them feel like anything but work.

We hate to break it to you, but the frosty temperatures are here to stay, so it’s high time grab one of the most stylish winter coats if you haven’t already. And if you’re still wearing the beat-up puffer jacket you bought five years ago (or worse yet, a too-thin fall coat that doesn’t have a chance of stopping wind and snow), it’s an especially great moment to go shopping, considering winter wardrobe essentials are starting to be marked down ahead of spring.

When you’re shopping for the perfect winter coat, it’s important to consider both your environment and your personal style. If you prefer to keep it casual, there are puffy, cloudlike options from Amazon, The North Face, and Under Armour that have a trendy sporty vibe and will keep you toasty in frigid temps. (As a general rule of thumb, the higher the down fill power in a puffer, the lighter and warmer the coat is; down-alternative insulation is a great vegan swap for duck down, though.) Meanwhile, if you’re always hoping to turn a look—or you belong to the Taylor Swift school of style—topcoats and faux fur jackets (hello, mob-wife aesthetic) are especially trendy in 2024. (Make them warmer by layering plenty of cashmere sweaters, chunky scarves, and fleece-lined tights.)

But beyond pointing you towards the most stylish winter coats, over the years, our editors have put countless jackets to the test to see which ones hold up (and look cute) in the coldest temps—and also polled other fashion industry vets to find out which options they recommend for everyday winter wear. These are the cutest winter coats for women to buy right now, before they inevitably sell out. Who knows? You might even get excited about bundling up.

## Top trendy winter coats for 2024

1/16

### Reformation Oscar Nipped Waist Coat

You may love Reformation for its romantic wedding guest dresses, but the sustainably minded brand also makes some of the most stylish winter coats; a long list of celeb fans confirms it. Available in two neutral colors and one menswear-inspired pattern, this snatched coat gives off quiet-luxury energy for less than $400. This classic pick is a high-quality option for cold days that don’t quite warrant a down puffer coat. Pair it with wide-leg jeans and a cozy turtleneck when you want to look put-together with basically zero effort.

Sizes: XS–XL / Colors: 3 options / Material: Wool, polyamide / Fill: N/A

Pros: Defined waist; partially recycled material

Cons: Chest opening might be too wide for frigid weather

- ## Best Investment Winter Coat: Canada Goose Shelburne Parka

2/16

### Canada Goose Shelburne Parka

Canada Goose is known for making some of the warmest coats in the world, and while most of us don’t need something as heavy-duty for daily wear, it’s the place to go when you’re looking for an insulated jacket that can handle the extremes. The brand’s iconic Shelbourne parka has everything you need for cold weather—be it commuting in a snow flurry or dogsledding in Alaska—and then some. The 625-fill-power down insulation is high for a coat with this much heft (most similar coats rely on feathers to provide more structure and bulk), so you know it’ll keep you warm even at the promised low of 7 degrees. With a proprietary two-way zipper and adjustable cuffs, you can customize the fit as needed to stay mobile while being bundled from head to toe.

Sizes: 2XS—3XL / Colors: 3 options / Material: Polyester, cotton / Fill: 80/20 down/feathers

Pros: Incredibly warm; water-resistant material; durable

Cons: Runs small; not vegan

- ## Best Patterned Winter Coat: Boden Button Checked Fitted Coat

Courtesy of brand

3/16

### Boden Button Checked Fitted Coat

While this eye-catching coat might be a touch light for the coldest days of the year, it’s ideal for wintertime layering—and for bringing a welcome dose of cheer to the gray days ahead. Boden specializes in heritage-inspired pieces with bright twists, and this knee-length fully-lined pick is no exception. Contrasting tortoiseshell buttons and outer slip pockets (perfect for phones and hand warmers) only make this vintage-inspired topcoat more useful.

Sizes: 2–22 / Colors: 1 option / Material: Cotton, polyester / Fill: N/A

Pros: Statement pattern; inclusive sizing; fully lined

Cons: Only one color

- ## Best Double-Breasted Winter Coat: Abercrombie & Fitch Double-Breasted Tailored Topcoat

Courtesy of brand

4/16

### Abercrombie & Fitch Double-Breasted Tailored Topcoat

By now, you know that Abercrombie’s recent creative renaissance is a goldmine for elevated staples you’ll want to wear everywhere. But you might not have encountered this double-breasted coat, which takes cues from menswear staples like peacoats. Thankfully, though, it’s much less boxy than its predecessors, with a nipped waist and a length that hits right at the knees. Wear it to the office (or to cold-weather drinks with the girls) paired with wide-leg trousers, Chelsea boots, and minimalist jewelry.

Sizes: XXS—XL / Colors: 1 option / Material: Polyester / Fill: N/A

Pros: Classic look; winter-friendly length

Cons: Made entirely of polyester

- ## Best Stylish Winter Coat on Amazon: Orolay Thickened Down Jacket

Courtesy of brand

5/16

### Orolay Thickened Down Jacket

This list wouldn’t be complete without the Amazon coat, which has been a bestseller for years now. Filled with an impressive 90/10 down/feather ratio at an unbeatable price, this coat is a standout with more than 19,000 five-star reviews singing its praises. With six roomy outer pockets and side zippers for ventilation, you’ll be able to stash and layer with abandon. An optional faux fur trim and a fleece-lined hood add coziness for those extra-cold days. In our Orolay coat review, we echoed that praise, calling out the jacket’s unique design details, winter-proof build, and instant availability. Go ahead—see what all the fuss is about.

Sizes: XXS–5XL / Colors: 7 options / Material: Polyester / Fill: 90/10 down/feather

Pros: Highly reviewed; very warm

Cons: Boxy shape isn’t for everyone

- ## Best Faux-Fur Coat: Topshop High Pile Fleece Longline Coat

Courtesy of brand

6/16

### Topshop High Pile Fleece Longline Coat

Topshop’s on-trend coat combines plush, high-pile faux fur with a classic topcoat silhouette, instantly dressing up any winter outfit. The sage color is a gorgeous reminder that spring is never too far away. Just be sure to size down, as reviewers note that it runs large.

Sizes: XS–L / Colors: 2 options / Material: Polyester / Fill: N/A

Pros: Longline fit; trendy look

Cons: Unlined; sizing runs large

- ## Best Stylish Puffer Jacket: The North Face Arctic Parka

Courtesy of brand

7/16

### The North Face Arctic Parka

The warmer and more technical a down jacket is, the more it can begin to resemble a sleeping bag. Not so with this thoughtfully designed parka by The North Face. “It’s fully insulated so it keeps me from feeling the cold, and I love how polished it feels with the non-quilted outer shell (hard to find in a down coat!). The subtle cinched waist accents make me feel like my shape doesn’t get lost while I’m staying warm,” one Glamour tester says. The removable faux fur trim adds another hint of fashion to this fully waterproof winter coat that our tester says kept her warm even during the bomb cyclone last winter. And, with sizing up to 3XL, this cozy coat is also a top pick for plus-size outerwear.

Sizes: XS–XXL / Colors: 9 options / Material: Nylon, cotton shell / Fill: Down

Pros: Wide range of colors; impressive 500 down fill power

Cons: Some reviewers say the hood snaps come undone during wear

- ## Warmest Stylish Winter Coat: The Very Warm Hooded Puffer

Courtesy of brand

8/16

### The Very Warm Hooded Puffer Jacket

There’s nothing like a classic puffer that just gets it right. Glamour shopping writer Jake Smith swears by the printed versions of The Very Warm’s unisex jacket as the perfect “statement-making coat for winter,” but even if you go with one of the solid-color options, you’ll be well outfitted for the season: “True to the company name, this is the warmest coat I own. I love the detachable hood, the stylish colors and prints, and the truly windproof construction for the coldest days of winter,” he says. The coat is made of recycled materials and features a slew of thoughtful details that you’ll appreciate when those winds blow. A drawstring cord at the hem locks in body heat, while microfiber-fleece-lined pockets keep your hands nice and toasty. The water-resistant outer shell is also treated to block rain or snow.

Sizes: XXS–XL / Colors: 13 options / Material: Recycled nylon / Fill: Recycled polyester

Pros: Removable hood; wide range of colors; unisex design

Cons: Water-resistant instead of waterproof

- ## Best Designer Winter Coat: Totême Embroidered Scarf Jacket

Courtesy of brand

9/16

### Totême Embroidered Scarf Jacket

Duped by many but bested by none, this Totême icon launched a thousand imitators—and we’re here to tell you this is the season to invest. Vogue senior commerce editor Talia Abbas bought hers before it blew up on Instagram (and then repeatedly sold out) and can attest to its ability to withstand even the coldest winter days, despite being a midlength wool coat and not down-filled. “The arms are roomy and the shape is boxy enough to layer over a really chunky knit, plus it’s made of a heavy wool blend that does a great job blocking wind,” she says. It’ll take you from fall through spring with the swap of a T-shirt to a fuzzy mohair sweater underneath. We love that this wool-blend coat comes in multiple colors—from black to tan to a rich olive with contrasting white stitching—that are all equally wearable and, according to Abbas, “definitely worth the splurge.”

Sizes: XXS–3XL / Colors: 4 options / Material: Wool, polyester / Fill: N/A

Pros: Built-in scarf; stylish design

Cons: Pricey; might be too short for cold days

- ## Best Waterproof Winter Coat: Lands’ End Squall Raincoat

Courtesy of brand

10/16

### Lands’ End Squall Raincoat

Winter may be snow season, but that doesn’t mean rain is going anywhere—and the iconic Squall Raincoat from Land’s End is the best choice to have in your closet for blustery days. Although it looks lightweight, it has plenty of practical details for winter weather, including a waterproof outer shell that’s lined with anti-static fleece to keep you warm. Glamour copy director Talley Sue Holhfeld has worn this jacket year after year: “The Squall is sized a little roomy, so your winter sweater won’t bind under it, and there’s a little extra room at the neck for a scarf,” she says, adding that the two-way zipper is great for on-the-go adjustments. “A drawstring at the waist snugs the fit for extra warmth and stops a breeze from below; knit cuffs and a cinching strap at the wrists similarly seal you off.” We also love the size-inclusivity—available in petite, regular, and tall lengths, it’s a coat that’ll fit in nearly anyone’s wardrobe.

Sizes: XS–2XL / Colors: 4 options / Materials: Nylon / Fill: N/A

Pros: Two lengths available; fleece-lined upper body

Cons: Not insulated

- ## Best Packable Stylish Winter Jacket: Under Armour Storm Armour Down 2.0 Parka

Courtesy of brand

11/16

### Under Armour Storm Armour Down 2.0 Parka

Sometimes the best things come in small packages, and the warmest down often comes in the slimmest silhouettes: The 600 fill power of this winter parka means that you’ll be getting maximum warmth for the lightest, all-down, feather-free fill. The water-repellent outer shell is free of unnecessary embellishments, too. Smith describes his knee-length pick—a similar style to this one—as “a warm, cushy puffer that does the job with impressive functionality—and without drawing attention to itself.”

Sizes: XS–XL / Colors: 1 option / Material: Nylon / Fill: Duck down

Pros: Curved back hem provides coverage; lightweight and packable

Cons: Hood isn’t removable; some reviewers say it runs small

- ## Best Quilted Winter Coat: Free People We the Free Joanna Maxi Puffer Jacket

Courtesy of brand

12/16

### We the Free Joanna Maxi Puffer Jacket

Free People’s top-rated dramatic number is a no-brainer for the women among us who aren’t afraid to make a statement. That longline silhouette is ideal for chilly days and blizzards, when you can’t afford to wear anything with less coverage. There’s no hood, but style it with a hoodie or a knit beanie for optimal protection from the elements. And we really can’t get over that pink—a gorgeous respite from the sea of black coats that you’ll encounter everywhere.

Sizes: XS—XL / Colors: 2 options / Material: Polyester, nylon / Fill: Unlisted

Pros: Incredibly warm; water-resistant material; durable

Cons: No hood; dry clean only

- ## Best Adjustable Winter Coat: Patagonia Tres 3-in-1 Parka

Courtesy of brand

13/16

### Patagonia Tres 3-in-1 Parka

Why buy one coat when you can get three in one? This workhorse Patagonia down and rain jacket combo is the best bet for outerwear versatility: It can be worn as a lightweight waterproof shell, a wind-resistant jacket with the ripstop liner, or an insulated parka with the addition of the 700-fill-power down liner. Whether it’s worn alone or all together, one Glamour tester says, this coat is “nice and long, so warm, and still looks sleek.” Patagonia is also known for valuing sustainability, so each layer is made of recycled materials and is Fair Trade Certified so you’ll feel good about spending your winter coat budget on this multiuse piece.

Sizes: XS–XXL / Colors: 4 options / Materials: Polyester / Fill: Down

Pros: Multiple ways to wear; sustainably manufactured

Cons: Expensive

- ## Best Tailored Winter Coat: Mango x Jen Ceballos Wool Coat

Courtesy of brand

14/16

### Mango x Jen Ceballos Wool Coat

Mango is one of our favorite resources for slick, well-done staples. Case in point: this sharp topcoat, which is rendered in a heavy wool blend. Everyone needs a black coat in their rotation, especially office workers and city slickers, and Mango’s take—part of a collaboration with model and influencer Jen Ceballos—is the platonic ideal. Contrast the exaggerated, masculine shoulders by pairing it with black leather boots, a slinky dress, and bold earrings the next time you want to turn heads.

Sizes: XS–XL / Colors: 1 option / Materials: Wool, polyester, polyamide, acrylic, viscose / Fill: N/A

Pros: Sharp look; ideal for layering

Cons: Might be too long for shorter wearers

- ## Best Stylish Shearling Coat: BlankNYC Sherpa Bonded Jacket

Courtesy of brand

15/16

### BlankNYC Faux Fur Teddy Coat

You might already have a teddy coat from seasons past, but if you want step up your fashion game, this faux leather moto situation is the way to go. It’s even cozier than it looks IRL, with ample room for layering. One Glamour tester says she “wore this coat while pregnant, and even six months later I’m still obsessed. It looks great dressed up or over gym clothes and makes me feel fabulous.” The heavyweight material makes this winter jacket not just a trendy piece but a genuinely warm wardrobe addition with lots of versatility and trans-seasonal staying power.

Sizes: XS–L / Colors: 1 option / Material: Polyester / Fill: N/A

Pros: Oversized fit for layering; length hits below the hips

Cons: Only available in one color; small size range

- ## Best Stylish Trench Coat: J.Crew New Icon Trench

Courtesy of brand

16/16

### J.Crew New Icon Trench

On the warmer days of winter—yes, they do exist—reach for this classic trench from J.Crew. It’s pretty much the perfect layering piece, with enough room for all the tees, sweaters, hoodies, and vests you use to bundle up. Better yet, it’ll carry you effortlessly into spring; the water-resistant material will keep you dry, while the adjustable belt and poppable collar add plenty of opportunities for customization. Better yet, it’s machine-washable.

Sizes: 00–24 / Colors: 3 options / Material: Cotton / Fill: N/A

Pros: Inclusive sizing; water-repellent fabric; adjustable belt

Cons: Not ideal for very cold weather
