Promising review: "SO WARM. So stylish! I am so in love with this coat. It seems very well put together and heavy and sturdy. I am usually a size L/XL in everything and the large fits perfectly with the zippers up on the sides. It gets a bit narrow around the hips but it's adjustable so it's fine! Absolutely love this coat." —Lauren

Promising review: "Needed a jacket for a quick trip somewhere cold and came across this one and purchased without hesitating because of the price. I ordered both a small and medium and couldn’t tell much of a difference between the sizes. The medium might be a little longer with longer sleeves but I ended up going with the small because it looked slightly less puffy. It’s super cute, on trend and warm (also water resistant)." —Cldorsett

Promising review: "I recently went to Iceland and of course in preparation I purchased this coat. It was possibly the best purchase I had made for the entire trip. I was in cold snowy weather and remained at a comfortable warm temperature. On top of that I visited four waterfalls, including one that completely soaked my jacket, yet the water never got through and I remained warm. It was a perfect jacket." —julius

Promising review: "I’m in love with this jacket. Providing you with warmth without the bulk. It doesn’t make you look like a marshmallow. My most expensive jacket to date but oh so worth it. Cannot beat the quality. Now I don’t have to buy a jacket every year. By the way, this is meant to be a slim fit. I’m 5’4 and I bought a small. It fits perfectly. Just beautiful." —MJP78

Promising review: "My hubby travels for work and needs something light but very warm for snowy climates. He got this on a recommendation from another friend who travels as well and he spoke very highly of this jacket. What makes it unique is that its so toasty without bulk. It can fit into a pouch about the size of a small purse. So it packs well. Then, it’s very chic and hip looking so you can wear it to work functions. My hubby is 6’2", 185 lbs., and normally wears an XL in shirts but chose a L for this jacket to have a more fitted look instead of a ski jacket look. The large is perfect in arm length and fit roomy enough to even wear a fitted V-neck sweater underneath. He loves this thing." —Beauty Maven

Promising review: "This is the perfect puffer jacket! I’ve been looking for a red puffer that doesn’t cost an arm and a leg. This thing is light and cozy. I’ve worn it twice and I’m surprised by how warm it has kept me. If you’ve been on the fence about this jacket, you should definitely make the purchase." —Alexa

Promising review: "I bought this jacket for my last minute trip to NYC and it was perfect. It was warm while walking around all day in 37 degree weather and so cute and comfy. Other reviews said to order up so I got a large and it fit perfectly. I'm 5'7" and 140 lbs." —Amazon Customer

I bought this coat in preparation for the sure-to-be freezing New York winter that's in my future. It's a fun mix of colors, has a great shape to it, and isn't itchy — just warm! I also really love the oversized buttons and the overall fit.

Promising review: "First of all, I love The North Face products because they always seem to be well made and this coat is no exception. My husband surprised me with this because I needed a new coat for this winter coming up and I was thrilled with the surprise! The red is a really nice color and I love that it has the fur trimmed hood for extra style. It’s fitted but not tight and it is very nice and warm. The hood is removable which is nice for when it needs to be washed since the fur should not be washed and dried. (I dried a jacket with a fur trimmed hood in the dryer once and the fur came out melted, matted and ruined.) Overall, I am very very happy with this jacket." —Mama JNO

Promising review: "My favorite coat right now. I grew up in the Midwest and experienced my fair share of winters (22 of them in fact). I am now a full Floridian who cannot deal with the cold. So when my girlfriends and I decided to plan a girls' weekend in NYC at the end of January, I knew I needed a coat that was cute, but more importantly, something that kept me warm. This jacket did both so well! I wore a regular long-sleeve shirt underneath and the coat completely blocked out any cold and wind as we walked around the city. I purchased a few other coats and none of them fit nearly as well as this one did. Needless to say, I am beyond satisfied with this coat and have started planning another visit up north soon just so I can wear it again!" —Amazon Customer

Promising review: "I was looking for a casual coat with a silky lining, not a fuzzy one. This coat has a great lining so it is easy to put on over a sweater. It also has a zipper AND snaps. The hood is great but can be removed if you want and the fur accent can also be removed to make the coat look a little different. The sleeves have a cozy soft cuff to keep air from coming up the sleeve. The down is just the right amount for keeping you warm in Ohio. All around good coat." —Buckeyetree
Get it from L.L. Bean for $239 (available in sizes XS–3X, in regular, petite, and plus sizing, and two colors).
Promising review: "Love love love this coat. I got so many compliments. I’m usually a 12 and they suggested a 2XL but after reading the reviews I got a large and it worked perfectly. The arms are not too tight at all. The back is shorter which I love, I hate to take my coat off when driving and this is a perfect hop out of the car and go coat!" —Amazon Customer

Promising review: "Just got this jacket and I'm so glad i did! I got the purple color and it is so cute! It looks as a puffy jacket but it's actually lightweight. It fits perfect, true to size. I plan on getting it in more colors. Love it!" —AndreaMCA
Get it from Kohl's for $71.99 (available in sizes S–XL and six styles).
Promising review: "I got this jacket not too long ago. The moment I put it on I was transported to the year 1919 on an old fishing vessel. With only a tobacco pipe and some jerky in the pockets of my jacket. It's been 100 years now and I have yet to age. Needless to say this jacket is amazing. 10/10 would buy again but maybe in a different color this time." —Ryan

I had my last London Fog coat for over five years before I felt I needed a replacement. It was extremely cozy, warm, and stylish — everything I could want in a winter coat.
Promising review: "Very nice coat. It checks off a lot of what I want in a winter coat. The zipper and snaps work well. A nice roomy fit. You can sit down in it with it zippered and snapped. Hood is about the right size. Snaps up nice around the neck. I ordered the burgundy and it looks like a nice wine color. London Fog came up with a nice coat." —Julie
Get it from Macy's for $275 (available in sizes 2XS–2XL and four colors).
Promising review: "I needed a new coat to wear to work or casual... with jeans, slacks and long skirts. This coat is perfect! I'm 5'8" and 170 lbs, curvy. This coat has a nice shape ...not boxy... is made of very high quality material and just fits like a glove. I absolutely love it and highly recommend this!" —Jeanette
Get it from Amazon for $49.04+ (available in sizes XS–XL and nine styles).
Promising review: "At first, I could not tell what the fabric would be like of the jacket but loved the color so ordered it — it was amazing! The salt and pepper look is amazing with jeans or any color pants, the jacket is a great length and the silk lining inside is comfortable yet the jacket stays warm. This is the perfect staple item!" —Jgoldz
Get it from Loft for $192 (available in sizes 2XS–2XL and regular and petite lengths).
Promising review: "I love love love this jacket! The hood is big enough for my whole head, and the fur lining keeps me extra toasty. I have never owned such a perfect jacket. I would recommend this to anyone that suffers in the horrible miserable cold of winter. I am cold all the time, but this keeps me blissfully warm like I'm being hugged by that creepy Downey bear after he just got out of the dryer. If you love yourself, you will buy this jacket because you deserve it!" —cierra richards

Promising review: "This jacket is beautiful — the color is great, the fit is great. Most importantly, this jacket is warm. I live in the Midwest, so cute jackets are fine, but I need something that’s going to stand up to a Midwestern winter, and this one does. I’m 5’6" and 160 lbs., and I ordered a large. I could have gotten a medium, but the large gives me room for thicker sweaters. 10/10 would order again." —Andrea

Promising review: "This jacket is probably one of my favorite jackets I own! I spent a while looking for a down puffy jacket but didn’t want to spend the money on a brand name. I’m so glad I came across this one! It has traveled with me through spring in Japan and winter in New Zealand. Not only did it keep my really warm, but it has also stayed in great shape after six months of international travel! There’s not any wear or tear, and it still looks and fits great! It is definitely not waterproof, but I wasn’t expecting that because it is down insulated. Definitely an amazing jacket! It doesn’t look too bulky if I’m just wearing it over a t-shirt, but it can comfortably be worn over a sweatshirt! Very versatile!!" —Audrey Pardini

Promising review: "This coat is absolutely perfect. It's excellent quality and soft and warm. I'm 5'4" with a busty top and ordered a large. I was so excited when I tried it on and it buttoned all the way to the top without feeling tight or gaping! That's been my biggest struggle; finding a peacoat that would fit my bust. The length is exactly what I wanted too; it is about mid-shin level. The price is unbeatable too. LOVE IT!!" —Candice Guilliams

Promising review: "This jacket so comfortable and warm especially around this time of year. It keep the heat in the rain and cold wind out. Thank you for such a good quality product that is well stitched and made with reliable fabrics for the seasonal weather." —Anonymous
Get it from Old Navy for $67.99 (available in sizes 1X–4X).
Promising review: "The Lady Day Coat is a coat worth every penny! For size reference, I'm 5'8, 145lbs, 36B, and a size six fits perfectly with a light sweater (if you're keen on wearing thicker layers like cable knits you may want to consider sizing up). The hem of the coat hits at my knees, and the sleeves are a generous length and not cut too slim (I have fairly long arms!). The tailoring gives you a really streamlined look, perfect for professional, formal, and casual occasions. The Thinsulate does the trick during the cold New England winters! This coat also wears really well, it doesn't really wrinkle with wear. I really like the fabric used for this coat as well. My cheaper coats pilled, collected lint, and look dingy after one season, but my Lady Day Coat always looks pristine! This coat is worth the investment!" —Libra

Promising review: "I'm a true Southern California girl and needed a (vegan) snow jacket for a trip to Milwaukee during February snow. This jacket was perfect for my trip! It was super warm, perfect for layering, and the hoodie kept the drizzling rain out of my face. I received a ton of compliments on how it looked too. Couldn't be happier! I ordered a size small and was a little worried it swallowed me up a bit but when you're in snowy type weather, it was just right." —Christine
Get it from Amazon for $119 (available in sizes XS–XL and five colors).
My husband has the men's version of this coat and always says it's the best investment he's ever made (next to my engagement ring, of course). He's able to wear it from the fall through early spring, so it's definitely worth the money.
Promising review: "I have had my eye on this jacket for years and finally took the leap this winter. I live in Chicago and walk/public transit daily. I need a coat for all elements (wind, rain and cold). I tested this jacket out today in -4 degree weather. The sun was out and there was minimal wind. That said, this little guy held up well for as light as the down is. It is not bulky and easy to move in. If you live an area that is both extreme cold and wind you may want to consider a heavier option. However, if you’re looking for a solid commuter coat that is light weight and still packs a punch, this one is great! " —Lori A.

Promising review: "GUYS omg this jacket is definitely a hidden gem. It's so soft and makes you look so sophisticated!! It does shed a little at first, so definitely wash this before you wear it unless you want little specks all over your clothes — I learned the hard way LOL. However, I wore this outfit pictured in 50 degree Fahrenheit weather and it kept me warm! This is definitely one of those 'blanket- but make it fashion pieces' HAHA I love it so much." —@Kathy_Vu
Get it from Amazon for $36.99 (available in sizes S–3XL and six colors).
I had the pleasure of trying this special-edition jacket and it really is, for lack of a better term, magical! It's super warm, great if you're looking for a slim-fit option that'll still keep you nice 'n' toasty — in case one of those Arendelle-like storms comes through. The inside features a sparkly blue coat only you'll know is there, so no worries if you don't want an over-the-top winter style.
