It turns out the saying “there’s no such thing as being cold, there’s only bad clothing” is true. Winter doesn’t have to be painful as long as you’re equipped with the right coat and not just any coat, but one that won’t cramp your style.
We’ve rounded up men’s winter coats that are too sleek and too warm to pass up this season. These coats can be worn day or night and will upgrade you from an average joe to the leading man. Take your pick and bundle up.
Puffer Coat
Puffer coats come in all shapes, sizes, and shades. Some are better suited for frostbiting temperatures while others provide warmth without making you break a sweat on chilly days. No matter the degree of warmth you’re looking for, you’ll certainly find it in the popular puffer style. Another added bonus is they’re incredibly packable and easy to travel with.
Banana Republic’s water-repellent puffer jacket has everything you need and more in a winter coat for $298. The fill is 100% down and the shell and lining is 100% nylon. The oversized boxy-fit styles well with casual wear for errands throughout the day or dressed up in your best sweater and jeans in the evening. The color pictured is a handsome exploration green but the coat comes in Sonoma wine, black, and mountain blue.
Tommy Hilfiger’s designed a similar quilted puffer jacket that’s water repellent but has an attached hood lined with cozy micro-fleece. This heavyweight coat had zip hand pockets at the sides and one interior pocket. Snag yours for $225 in royal blue, charcoal, golden glow yellow, camo green, and more.
Trench Coat
Typically worn in camel, you’re guaranteed to stand out in a sea of dreary grays and blacks if you don a trench coat this winter. Trench coats are sophisticated, striking, and come in a number of cuts and fabrics. Toss it over a suit for the office or pair it with a simple sweater and jeans. Even more, the timeless silhouette endures any winter trend and cold-weather.
This London Fog coat sold on Amazon for $150 is a classic trench coat featuring a functional gun flap and button down epaulettes. Designed to fit over a suit, the tried and true style comes in khaki, black, and covert. The sustainable quality will last you years to come.
Asos designed a modern rendition of the classic trench coat with a shorter style and a relaxed fit. Use the belt to cinch the waist for a more formal look where you want to make an impression or opt for an open, oversized look. The water-resistant twill material will keep you dry and warm all winter. This coat only comes in the color stone for $86.
Peacoat
Look and feel business in the ultimate peacoat that you can find in traditional colors of black, gray, and navy as well as various fabrics like corduroy, wool, cashmere, or shearling. Although the traditional coat has received a few modern tweaks from various designers, what remains of the original style is two front overlapping panels and a row of stylish buttons.
You’re going to want to take a closer look at J.Crew’s standard navy peacoat to take in the subtle yet stunning herringbone pattern. This men’s winter coat will have you looking forward to the winter months so you can step out in style. The authentic, straight fit features eco-friendly PrimaLoft insulation for next level warmth. It’s worth the little bit of a splurge at $298 for a timeless, lasting coat.
Amazon carries a more affordable option from Alpine Swiss for only $40! This wool peacoat has a satin lining, inside chest pocket and two outer pockets to keep your hands warm and store all your essentials. Layer up in this lightweight coat with a sweater, hoodie, or fleece.
The Parka
Parkas are the quintessential cold-weather piece that comes in water-resistant materials and is typically lined with fur or fleece lining. To put it simply, all men need one in their winter wardrobe rotation.
ReNew’s long parka will keep you cozy on intensely frigid days thanks to the Primaloft insulation. Not only will you look good in this coat, but you’ll feel good knowing the polyester fabric is made from 64 renewed plastic bottles. Keep your fingers toasty in fleecy handwarmer pockets and cinch the hood for a snug fit when the winter’s chill is unforgivable. This one of a kind coat is $228 and comes in India ink, black, kalamata, and field green.
When it comes to weather resistant, masculine men’s winter coats, Columbia has always got your back. You can count on this $279 jacket’s 550-fill power down to keep you extra warm as well as the brand’s proprietary Omni-Heat technology in the lining that reflects back body heat. This coat features an attached adjustable hood, a 2-way center front zipper, two zippered hand and chest pockets, and elastic cuffs.
Bomber Jackets
A bomber jacket is a waist-length coat with a zip or button front, pockets, and a knit collar and cuffs. Initially invented in the 1940s to keep the first fighter pilots warms, the bomber was made from wool and nylon to help save them from severe wind and rain. Recently, this popular coat has taken off as a go-to for a foolproof casual look.
Bomber jackets aren’t typically thought of as a winter coat since they’re lightweight but leave it to Todd Snyder to design a fashion-forward bomber filled with ultra-warm 750-fill power down. For $298, you can wear this coat deep into the winter months day and night in orange, black, or camouflage.
Everlane’s Uniform bomber jacket is another top notch pick with a front zip instead of buttons. Everlane is so confident in the quality of this coat that it’s backed by a 365-day guarantee. If it happens to get a hole or loses color, they’ll replace it with a brand new one although it’s been wash-tested 50 times for fabric strength, shrinkage, and water-resistance.
No matter what you choose, the important thing is these coats will protect you from any wintry mix. Here’s to staying warm and looking your best all winter long.
