High-quality and functional winter coats tend to be an investment, so you want to ensure that you’re putting your money towards the right purchases. Whether you live in a winter wonderland like Minnesota or are from a mild winter climate such as California, knowing where to shop for your given weather conditions is key to buying a winter coat that will last you several seasons.

The Best Winter Coat Brands at a Glance

Best Overall: Canada Goose
Best for Everyday: Fjallraven
Best Puffer Coats: Aritzia
Best Value: Quince
Best for Snow: Burton
Best Athletic: Columbia
Most Stylish: Abercrombie & Fitch
Best for Outdoor: The North Face
Best Size Range: Eddie Bauer

As we all know, there are tons of options across the internet, from heavy-duty parkas to lightweight thermal jackets that can be used as a layering tool. If you invested in one specific kind of coat last year—such as a long puffer jacket—it could be wise to introduce a different style into your wardrobe to give it some variety, such as a double-breasted wool coat (which will keep you just as cozy!)

Whatever the case—and your personal preference—we found nine of the best winter coat brands that offer a surplus of options that are efficient, long-lasting, and stylish. From pieces at splurge-worthy companies like Canada Goose to more budget-friendly picks from Abercrombie & Fitch, there’s no shortage of winter coats out there to keep you protected and warm all season long. Plus, some of the items on our list are currently on sale.

Our mission at STYLECASTER is to bring style to the people, and we only feature products we think you’ll love as much as we do.

As far as winter coats are concerned, no one does it quite like Canada Goose. Whether you live in sub-zero temperatures or have milder winters, there is a coat for you. This season, we’re eyeing the Junction Parka Black Label coat, which is a sleek and stylish parka designed with lightweight construction, so it’s great for commuting in the city. Despite its lightweight design, the winter coat is actually supremely warm and can withstand up to -4 degrees Fahrenheit. It also has a removable hood, giving you plenty of styling options this winter.

Sizes Available: 2XL-3XL
Material: Recycled nylon, down, feathers
Colorways: 7

Grandview Cropped Jacket Black Label

If you prefer a more cropped fit for winter coats, the Grandview Cropped Jacket is another stellar choice. Despite its shorter design, its material of Recycled Organic Arctic Tech® will protect you against extreme climates and temperatures—as cold as 5 degrees Fahrenheit—and repel water from seeping in. Plus, it’s pretty stylish.

Sizes Available: XS-2XL

Fjallraven

Fjallraven
Best for Everyday
HC Hydratic Padded Jacket

$500 Buy Now at Fjallraven

Fjallraven makes some of the most functional—and stylish—jackets, making it an excellent choice to shop for an everyday winter coat, such as the HC Hydratic Padded Jacket. This jacket is designed with flexibility in mind, allowing you to wear it for everything from outdoor activities to commuting. It features a padded construction (but without the quilting you often see in parkas) and is completely waterproof, too, so it’s great for wet climates, such as the Pacific Northwest.

Sizes Available: XXS-XL
Material: Recycled polyester, polyurethane, recycled polyamide
Colors: 3

Expedition Down Lite Jacket W

$600 Buy Now at Fjallraven

If you hate a winter coat that weighs you down, the Expedition Down Lite Jacket W balances warmth and a lightweight feel effortlessly. While it was designed with milder winter climates in mind, it’s perfect for those days when you want a protective layer but don’t want to bundle up to the extreme. It comes with spacious pockets, a roomy hood, and synthetic padding across the shoulders.

Sizes Available: XXS-XL
Material: Recycled polyamide, polyester, goose down feathers
Colors: 7
Quince

Quince
Best Value
Responsible Down Long Puffer Jacket

$200 Buy Now at quince

When you want a high-end item without forking over designer price points, Quince is the best place to shop—and it’s also one of the best winter coat brands. The Responsible Down Long Puffer Jacket is one of our favorite styles this year, not just because it has a $200 price tag, but because it’s actually super functional and warm and goes with virtually anything. Check out our Quince group review to see how our commerce editor Katie Decker-Jacoby got on with and wore this puffer (spoiler alert: she’s a fan).

The long parka coat is water- and wind-resistant, and it has fleece-lined pockets for added warmth and a removable hood for styling versatility. Its construction is also simple enough to wear every day, and it can be easily dressed up or down, especially if you get it in a more neutral color like black or navy.

Sizes Available: XS-XL
Material: Recycled polyester, nylon, elastane, goose down, goose feathers
Colors: 9

Italian Wool Classic Single-Breasted Coat

$175 Buy Now at quince

Puffers aren’t for everyone, so if you’d rather bundle up in Quince’s Italian Wool Classic Single-Breasted Coat, we wouldn’t bat an eye. One of the brand’s bestsellers, the long winter coat is made from premium Italian Melton Wool that feels as luxurious as it looks. It has that classic design that will go with just about anything, and is perfect for those nights that call for a dressier moment.

Sizes Available: XS-XL
Material: Italian wool, nylon, polyester

Abercrombie & Fitch

Wool-Blend Tailored Topcoat

$173 Buy Now at Abercrombie & Fitch

We don’t know about you, but we are still not over Abercrombie & Fitch’s glow up. The brand is home to some of the best-fitting jeans, comfy sweaters, and a collection of stylish winter coats. If you have your heart set on a wool peacoat look, we love the Wool-Blend Tailored Topcoat, which is constructed from a breathable and cozy wool and polyester blend and available in regular, petite, and tall sizes. The jacket isn’t the warmest option on our list (you’ll want to look at the more functional parkas on that front), but it is still cozy enough for early winter months and makes for a chic layering piece.

Sizes Available: 2XS-XL (regular, petite, and tall sizes available)
Material: Polyester, wool
Colors: 4

Short Wool-Blend Coat

Columbia Women’s Arctic Crest Down Jacket
On Sale 0% off

$260 Buy Now on Amazon

Active lifestyles require a winter coat that can keep up—and Columbia has you covered. The brand makes all sorts of winter coats, including puffer jackets, but we’re fans of the Women’s Arctic Crest Down Jacket as a functional piece that you can throw on over athletic gear, whether you’re running through the streets or hiking up a mountain. The jacket might not look that warm considering its thickness, but it’s actually designed with Omni-Heat for maximum warmth and utilizes solar energy to keep you warm while wearing. It’s also moisture-resistant to keep you nice and dry in wet climates.

Sizes Available: XS-2XL
Material: Goose down, nylon
Colors: 1

This jacket is technically a snowboarding jacket, but its sleek style and functional design make it a fantastic coat for regular wear, too.

Eddie Bauer
Women’s Sun Valley Down Parka

$85 Buy Now at eddie bauer

Winter coat brands don’t always have the best size range, so we’re always impressed by Eddie Bauer’s selection. The brand’s size range includes regular, petite, tall, and plus sizes, and many jackets also come in lots of colors and styles, too. For an everyday look, go with the Women’s Sun Valley Down Parka, which features a universal fit (that means it’s not too tight and also not too relaxed—so it’s roomy enough for your chunky sweaters) and has a water-repellent finish to keep you dry from snow and rain.

Sizes Available: XS-2XL (regular); XS-XL (petite); S-2XL (tall); 1X-3X (plus)
Material: Nylon, polyester, cotton, down

It also has loops that allow it to act as an insulated layer for any of the brand’s thicker jacket shells.

Aritzia

Aritzia
Best Puffer Coats
The Super Puff₂O Mid – Rainstop

$400 Buy Now at aritzia

Aritzia is home to the Super Puff jacket, which is one of our all-time favorite winter coats. After trying several styles, we were impressed by the Super Puff₂O Mid – Rainstop coat because it has that super puff warmth, is long enough to provide coverage to the upper legs, and is completely waterproof (which is not always the case with snow coats), so it’s excellent for wet climates. The jacket can also withstand frigid temperatures down to -22 degrees Fahrenheit, which is quite impressive for its price point.

Sizes Available: 3XS-XL
Material: Nylon, polyurethane, polyamide, goose down, goose feathers, polyester, elastane
Colors: 7

The Super Puff Shorty – cliMATTE™

$235 Buy Now at aritzia

That said, you can’t go wrong with trying any of the other Super Puff styles from Aritzia. Another favorite on our list is The Super Puff Shorty cliMATTE—just ask our shopping editor, who swears by it—because it has all the water-repellent and wind-resistant fabric of its counterparts, but in a sleek, more cropped style.
