12 stylish coats to make winter a bit more tolerable

12 Coats

Military

We love the dramatic lapels on this double-breasted topper. Coat, $240, ASOS.

Trench

A chic wool version of the spring classic. Coat, $188, Loft.

Double-breasted

Longer than a peacoat, this pale grey pick has a slim shape we love. Perfect for work. Coat, $350, Aritzia.

Robe

We could be happy to face winter in this dreamy, wine-coloured wrap. Coat, $249, H&M.

Faux fur

Great over an LBD for evening, this fluffy cocoon is as adorable with jeans by day. Coat, $430, Banana Repbulic.

Pastel

A runway hit, sweet colours for winter feel fresh. Coat, $186, ASOS.

Check

The trad menswear pattern adds some edge to an otherwise classic workweek topper. Coat, $998, Club Monaco.

Side zip

A diagonal zip creates a sleek bit of design intrest on this cozy camel coat. Coat, $296, RW & CO.

Duffle

Toggle closures and a cozy texture give this style a casual charm. Coat, $1,095, J Crew.

Bright

A pop of vibrant colour is the sunshine you'll need in deepest darkest winter. Coat, $119, Zara.

Animal print

At this price, why not add a little fun to your coat closet? The bracelet sleeve length is particularly flattering on smaller frames. Coat, $70, Winners.

Varsity

Last season's varsity jacket has lengthened so you're warm while being cool as ever. Coat, $398, Roots.
