Choosing the right winter coat can be tough. Sometimes finding one jacket that’s warm, stylish, and affordable seems like an impossible task — and if your must-have list also includes special features like a hood or a weather-proof shell? It’s enough to make your head spin. But owning a winter coat that’s perfect for you is important. After all, depending on where you live, winter coats are essential for roughly two to five months, so you don’t want to be stuck with one you don’t love, especially if it’s on the pricier side.
“I bought this jacket for a trip to Scotland in early March,” one reviewer wrote. “It was the perfect jacket — easy to pack, and surprisingly warm. The white was a nice, slightly off-white [color] that looked great with all my outfits, and it also stayed dry during the first few rainy days we encountered. It was so nice not to have to lug a bulky jacket overseas.”
