Sure, we love the idea of fall and winter — seasonal activities, cozy days indoors, sipping hot drinks out of cute mugs, etc. But once the weather starts to take a turn, we miss feeling…warm. Pretty soon, thick sweaters and thin jackets no longer cut it, and we’re forced to break out our winter coats, which will remain on our body until mid-Spring. Ugh.
This year, however, we’re aiming to invest in printed puffers and vegan leather options that will make us feel better about layering up. While perusing Saks Fifth Avenue’s Fall 2023 sale, we realized that tons of cute winter coats are within the mix of discounted items, and we’re definitely not missing out on deals like these.
Scrolling through what’s available, we can confidently say these coats are from boring. There are plaid designs, metallic details, and faux fur trenches that are perfect for layering over a holiday dress. Since they’re bound to sell out quickly, you’ll want to scoop up our favorites, below, while you still have the chance, thus giving your winter outfits the ultimate boost.
For some reason this one reminds us of Selena Gomez in Only Murders in the Building — in the best way. The plaid print makes it feel far from your average puffer, but it’s still neutral enough to work with all your outfits.
Love the look of a leather jacket but need something a bit warmer? This vegan leather puffer is the perfect alternative and its unique look is bound to earn you a ton of compliments.
Technically, we consider this an in-between type of jacket — it’s perfect for those rare but lovely 70-degree days. However, if you live in a cooler climate, you know that layering is key, and this quilted design can be styled underneath another light coat to make it extra toasty without the bulk (and will also create a cool street style look).
While there’s nothing wrong with rocking a puffer over a dress or jumpsuit, if you’re hoping to create a classic holiday look this season — coat included — you’ll want to invest in this wool number from Maje. The faux fur-trimmed design is timeless and will surely make you feel like an old Hollywood celebrity as you arrive at all those parties.
While darker shades tend to be more popular during the wintertime, adding a little color in the form of outerwear might help to brighten up your mood. This metallic printed puffer is playful yet warm, and its standing collar will ensure you’ll be able to properly cover your neck during extra-windy times.
For some people, colder weather means it’s time to dress in soft, cozy, pajama-like clothing. If this description resonates with you, you might find yourself excited to shrug on this long coat from Splendid, which is basically a robe in disguise. We won’t even blame you if you want to keep it on once you’re inside — it’s that comfortable!
Sometimes, the details make all the difference. While a black puffer coat sounds simple in theory, the sherpa collar and quilted shell design adds a little something extra and helps it stand out from the bunch.
If you ask us, no winter wardrobe is complete without a teddy coat. However, rather than going simple, the fluffy cuffs and collar on this Ena Pelly pick add a little more interest and give off a bit of a ’70s vibe.
