10 Jackets and Coats to Keep You Warm This Winter

From the ideal wool coat to the perfect puffer, here are 10 trendy winter coats that are essential to our wardrobe.

Like it or not, the cold season is fast approaching. The temperature is continuing to plummet and a white blanket of snow will soon cover sidewalks across the country until the first rays of spring. To step outside without fear of hypothermia and actually enjoy the snow, we need to invest in a winter coat that is warm, comfortable and technical (even if it means paying the price). We’ve found puffers, down jackets and trendy coats, to put on as soon as the first snow falls. Below, 10 essential winter coats that will last long to keep us warm for years to come.

The Alpine Winter Coat, Frank and Oak

With a shearling neckline and an exterior made from recycled polyester and organic cotton, this sustainably-made winter coat from Frank and Oak is a must-have! It also comes in a lush chocolate brown colour that looks ultra-cozy.

The jacket also comes in three shades—khaki, pink and glossy black—each more trendy than the next (which doesn’t make our choice any easier!)
