When it comes to getting ready for a night out, you may find yourself hitting a wall when figuring out how to stay warm without totally ruining your look with a drab coat. Stay warm whether you’re wearing a slinky dress or a bralette and palazzo pants underneath.
Stick to these women’s winter coats worth showing off whether you’re going to the bar, a concert, or wherever you’re trying to turn heads.
Trench Coat
What’s great about a good trench coat is it’s not over top so it can be dressed down during the day as you run errands in your trusty jeans and boots. This style of coat is a fashion icon that’s stood the test of time and has long been associated with Burberry. Through the years, designers have reimagined the trench coat in various lengths, materials and colors.
Trench coats are comfortable and effortless, making them the perfect outerwear to throw on for pretty much anything you have planned for the evening, whether it’s for a show or just casual drinks at the bar downtown.
Zara’s open front, flowy trench coat is a steal for only $50. This coat comes in sand as pictured above as well as black and mid khaki.
Puffer Coat
Oversized puffer coats have seemingly taken over the world and it’s a trend no one saw coming. They boldly make a statement and are often the highlight of an overall look. Puffer coats can take a mundane outfit and transform it into a trendy ensemble, making it hard to take off even after you reach your destination. They’re also an insanely packable coat, making them perfect for travel.
Since they’ve boomed in popularity, there are plenty on the market to choose from including vibrant prints, colors and cropped styles.

Bomber Jacket
Bombers prevail on the runways as designers incorporate it into varying trends each season. While the trendy coat was originally known for pairing perfectly with sneakers for an athleisure vibe, it’s now gaining steam as a coat to rock on a night out with heels. You can find them in just about any style from fuzzy to fleece-lined and sherpa to silk. A bomber will quickly be your go to coat that you can rely on as outerwear for a chic evening when temperatures drop.

Of course you can still find a bulky one if that’s what you’re going for – afterall, these coats have been around so you can find one to fit any style. Overall, there’s nothing quite like the classic parka. With two front pockets, a warm hood, and moisture-shielding exterior, this coat will keep you cozy and classy all winter.

Faux Fur Coat
Talk about making a statement. A faux fur coat can make even the most basic outfits look spiffy and chic. Go bold in fushia or leopard print or keep it simple in black or beige. There’s something very old Hollywood glamour about fur coats and it’s a fashion piece every woman should have in their wardrobe for nights out. Besides, who wouldn’t want to wear a coat that’s basically a fluffy blanket?
Step out in style in Lulu’s cream faux fur coat for $148. The oversized collared neckline adds a touch of glamour that’ll surely turn heads. Bundle up with the tortoise buttons.
