I know what you are thinking, “you look seriously cold.” And I won’t lie when I say, it was freezing! Growing up in Texas I never had a super warm coat. I don’t mean that to sound like I was deprived, because I wasn’t. I mean, I literally only had those fashionable wool coats that I only thought were warm. We didn’t need much in Texas to stay warm as the average winter temperature is only around 50. I thought I was good to go for my winter adventure with just my Sezane Johnson coat. Now I look back and laugh.

It weren’t for my local shop, Saint Bernard Sport, who described just how cold it would be and helped me find the perfect coat to keep me warm I think I would be covered with frostbite right now. I have already told you how amazingly perfect my Canada Goose coat was (here and here) but what I want to share with you now is the power of having a great coat. I don’t think you need a ton of options as most of our climates don’t get that cold but I do think investing in at least one warm jacket is a smart call. A lot of my readers are not in these super frigid climates so I have found a bundle (pun intended) of options for all climates. However, having one of those frigid climate coats handy could be a smart call. A traveller never knows where the next adventure is 🙂

My Coat Selection:

• By far one of my favorite jackets on the list! This short jacket would be perfect under a jacket or to grab drinks with friends! So chic and under $60
• The coloring and material of this Mountain Hardware coat make it a more fashionable choice. I would love to wear it with black jeans or leather pants!
• A little more expensive option but I had to include it! Does a winter coat get more beautiful than this?
• Barbour is a great staple for any closet and the wax coating on this one makes it a standout
• I am absolutely obsessed with the detailing on this Postcard jacket
• The reputation of Columbia should be enough to make you buy one but the price of this coat make it a tough competitor. It is such a classic choice and would go with anything in your closet
• For those cooler days where a heavy coat isn’t necessary I always love having a jacket like this handy. It goes great by itself or layered under a jacket (this is also a great option)
• Vest like this one are another great option to have around. Wear them over a turtleneck for a chic apré ski look or under a coat for extra warmth
• I absolutely love this Kjus jacket! I was very close to purchasing it in store! It is so sleek and creates a beautiful waist, even over all those bulky clothes
• I mean the color on this one says enough!
