Unlike all the other seasons, winter coats have the power to make their mark every look while helping you stand out. We all know by now that certain styles come and go while others continue to stand the test of time.

Parkas

When it comes to functionality, you won’t find something more reliable than the parka. Waterproof, wind resistant, and durable, the parka coat seemingly does it all. While it may not be the most glam style out there, it’s best suited for everyday use and when you’re off to wintry destinations, making it well worth the investment.

Long Puffers

Guaranteed to keep you warm all winter, the long puffer jacket is bound to become your best friend. The quilted material is specifically designed to keep you snug. But what makes this particular style ultra special is the long silhouette. Head-to-toe warmth is now just a coat purchase away.

Cropped Puffers

Alternatively, the cropped puffer jacket is equally as cute. It adds a hint of texture to any of your cold weather looks. The cropped cut also keeps the aesthetic youthful and on-trend. Since this is such a highly sought after winter style in 2022, there are plenty of affordable options on the market.
