1. A sherpa mini puffer that'll be chic, snazzy, and warm — even in the lowest of temperatures.
This is my favorite jacket of ALL time (I'm not kidding) and people are always asking me where I got it! Made of sherpa fabric, this cropped puffer coat is a must have this winter season. I've been wearing it every single day since the temperature dropped. It's so cozy that I don't have to wear layers under it and I won't feel the cold winter air through it. But the best part about this coat is the warm oversized collar! I don't even have to wear a scarf with it — and I'm a scarf person. This coat is the true definition of style and warmth — and it's totally worth the price!
Get it from Abercrombie & Fitch for $140 (available in sizes S–XL).
2. A men's The Northface 1990 Mountain jacket with a snazzy retro design that can withstand even the harshest of temperatures for years and years to come.
Promising review: "I have been wearing these jackets since the '90s. The craftsmanship on the new model is just as great as the originals. Comfortable and stylish meet in these mountain jackets and I will continue to wear them as long as The North Face produces them!" —Kel
Get it from Nordstrom for $299 (available in sizes M–2XL and four colors).
3. A plus-size down coat featuring quilted panels to become the beloved winter jacket you'll never want to stop wearing.
Promising review: "Love this coat! It's warm, comfortable, and looks expensive. I was lucky enough to get it on sale, but honestly, it is worth the full price. It's a teeny bit roomy, but it doesn't look sloppy. All in all, an excellent coat. I've worn it out a few times and have received compliments from strangers when wearing it." —JaNiece Rush
Get it from Amazon for $98.11+ (available in sizes 1X–3X and two colors).
4. A quilted knit jacket with an oversized boho-chic vibe that'll become your go-to winter coat.
Promising review: "I have had this jacket since last winter, in black. I love the fit, a little oversized but not ridiculously so. The sleeves are wide so you can wear thick sweaters without feeling stuffy." —nacamartinez
Get it from Free People for $168 (available in sizes XS–XL and two colors).
5. A plus-size Columbia Snow Eclipse jacket with amazing quality to last you season through season.
Promising review: "This coat is pricey but it will last a long time. It's a great jacket and it's very warm. Also, it's water-resistant. It has a slightly fitted shape in the waist and covers my butt very well. It doesn't suffocate my arms/shoulders as most coats do and I am very comfortable wearing this." —S. M.
Get it from Amazon for $139 (available in sizes 1X–3X and six colors).
6. A The North Face down parka with a faux-fur collar for a stylish but warm fit.
7. A colorblock faux-fur jacket featuring a woven lining to keep you fashionably warm in the cold.
8. A Canada Goose down parka that'll instantly become your winter-weather staple.
Promising review: "I love this coat! It fits me perfectly. The hood has to be the warmest way to keep your head warm, it's unnecessary to wear a hat! This coat is an investment that I foresee as well worth it!" —MareBear1259
Get it from Nordstrom for $950 (available in sizes XS–L and two colors).
9. A cozy teddy coat for the must-have cozy hippie look.
Promising review: "Everything about this jacket is GREAT. Its quality, color, fit, why even the zipper is heavy duty. It's so soft and warm and not a bit heavy. I never thought I'd wish for cold weather so I could wear (show off) a jacket. But that's what I'm wishing for this winter. And, even though it's not inexpensive, it's well worth the price." —daffox
Get it Free People for $168 (available in sizes XS–L and two colors).
10. A men's Columbia Frost Fighter puffer — it's water and stain repellant to wear in the rain, sleet, and snow.
Promising review: "I finally gave up trying the 'puff jackets' from the various manufacturers (which were all flimsy and way too small) and purchased this jacket. It's way warmer, better made, thicker insulation, and still light as a feather. Well worth the extra money." —C. H. Lopez
Get it from Amazon for $99+ (available in sizes S–2XL and six colors).
11. A ski puffer for standing out on the slopes.
Promising review: "I absolutely love this jacket. I purchased it in the navy blue combo and it's so comfy and cute. I always get a ton of compliments when I wear this jacket. It has a very retro feel to it. I can’t wait for the golden color to get here. I might end up buying the purple as well." —wynishahardin
Get it from Free People for $128 (available in sizes XS–L and two colors).
12. A plus-size shearling coat to keep you toasty and chic every time you put you wear it.
Promising review: "What a great coat. It’s reversible and comfortable. The first day out I got lots of compliments. It runs large so size down. It’s also very warm and great for the colder Maryland winters. So glad I found this coat." —Tamsmd
Get it from Nordstrom for $109.90 (originally $168.00, available 1X–3X and two).
13. A metallic puffer that'll shine in the dull and dreary weather.
14. A plus-size quilted jacket you'll be able to wear time after time thanks to its all-around functionality.
Promising review: "Really pleased with this jacket. It's warm, soft, stylish, and has great design features. I love the drawstring in the neck, so you can make it really snug and draftproof, I love the side shirring, and I love the side zippers. They are both functional and stylish." —Fluff
Get it from Nordstrom for $105.90 (originally $178.00, available in sizes 1X–3X)
15. A men's wool-blend overcoat with a knit bib inset to wear to work or business trips for complete warmth in your suit.
Promising review: "What a great coat!!! My husband purchased this coat because he was looking for something lightweight, yet warm to wear when he travels on business. The coat has great style, a nice profile, great fabric, and is very comfortable and flattering. The price was also very affordable." —Katheth
Get it from Nordstrom for $150 (originally $300, available in sizes M–XL and three colors).
16. A plus-size wrapped puffer — not only will it shield you from the cold weather, but it'll also stand out from any other plain, simple jacket in your wardrobe.
17. A maxi down parka for keeping you completely warm from head to toe.
18. A wool-blend walking coat to give you a classic and lightweight but warm and elegant silhouette.
Promising review: "I love this coat! I needed a dressier coat to wear to work. And one that would be warm when needed, but not too hot if it wasn’t that cold. This coat is wool-blend so it’s perfect. The style is perfect, the fabric, and lining are both really good quality. So glad I purchased this!!" —lieselynn
Get it from Nordstrom for $149.90 (originally $300, available in sizes 4–16 and two colors).
