Our favorite cool coats to protect you from the cold

Jacket weather is upon us! Zip it, button it, wrap it—however you go about it, ’tis the season to don cold-weather coats. Not just an afterthought, this winter, the coat is an integral part of your ’fit. 

Lean into fashion and function with these stylish frost-ready faves, including timeless staples refreshed via mod details for seriously chic looks, plus en vogue rugged-leaning styles like chore coats and denim jackets (best paired with jeans). Basically, stylish armor for the fashion warriors. Bundle up!

We aren’t saying the ’80s are back—but Canadian tuxedos (aka denim on denim) are trending. Hop on the sister trend of last summer’s Western chic fad with an easy-to-style dark-wash denim. Moto jacket, $525, raleighdenim.com

It’s gorpcore-meets-girly. Zip up this perfectly cropped puffer for the coldest Raleigh mornings. Frankie patchwork puffer jacket, $95, fabrikstyle.com

It’s leather weather, and faux-fur trims the edge on this sleek moto jacket. And who doesn’t love a little bit of extra swank? Apparis Jay bonded coat, $475, uniquities.com

This sweater weather-meets-snowy weather puffer is perfect for those who opt to skip the slopes to head straight to après-ski—while looking fabulous, natch. Reggie cable knit puffer, $228, uniquities.com 

The mob wife era wasn’t a trend, it’s a lifestyle. Take this fur full Sopranos and pair with an LBD and heels, or lean into Alexa Chung-esque indie sleaze and dress down with boots. Zadig & Voltaire freeze coat, $498, genachandler.com

This versatile wool-blend zip is a perfect pick for the tricky warmer days Raleigh weather loves to deliver every few winter weeks. Rune jacket, $180, shophellbent.com
