Types of Winter Jackets + Coats


There’s no one-jacket-fits-all in winter - different styles serve different looks and weather needs. Long wool coats are sleek and structured, perfect for dressing up even the most casual outfit. Puffers bring serious warmth and are ideal for street-style moments or ski vibes. Trench coats are lightweight but layer-able, making them great for milder winter days. Bomber and varsity jackets add that sporty, effortless edge to your look. And if you’re into a little drama, oversized coats and faux-fur options give your outfit texture and volume. The key is finding the right silhouette and fabric that works with your winter plans - and your personal aesthetic.

Everyday Winter Jackets You’ll Actually Wear on Repeat


There are some jackets that are Winter must haves. Easy puffers, classic trenches, and go-with-everything layers that work Monday through Sunday. They’re warm, effortless, and basically your cold-weather uniform. Check out how we recommend styling.

How to Style Puffer Jackets


Puffer jackets are the MVP of winter outerwear - warm, comfy, and surprisingly versatile. Opt for cropped puffers with high-waisted jeans and platform sneakers for a laid-back fit. Or go longline for extra coverage and pair with sleek boots and minimal layers underneath. Monochrome puffers in beige, black, or white keep things clean, while bold colors or metallics make the jacket the main event. Try adding a beanie or scarf in a matching tone for a pulled-together winter look.

How to Style Long Coats + Trenches


Long coats and trench coat are winter staples - ideal for layering without feeling too bundled. While traditionally a fall piece, it works in winter when paired with the right base layers. Throw it over a hoodie and cargo pants for a utility-inspired look, or wear it open over a chunky knit and wide-leg denim for some contrast. Want to keep it classic? Belt it up and pair with loafers or ankle boots. Play with unexpected colors like sage or chocolate brown for a twist on the neutral palette. Lightweight but chic, trench coats are perfect for slightly warmer winter days or transitional weather.

Winter Going Out Jackets


Cold weather fits don’t have to kill the vibe. Whether you’re heading out for a late-night show or just grabbing coffee, the right jacket pulls it all together. Think oversized jackets, faux leather bombers, and shearling everything. These are the layers that’ll keep you warm and looking good. Now how to style them for the winter? We’ve got you covered.

How to Style Leather Jackets for Winter


Leather jackets are forever, and yes - they totally work in winter. The key is layering: wear yours over a thermal or hoodie and under a wool coat if it’s really cold out. Go classic with a moto-style jacket and straight-leg jeans or mix it up with a leather blazer for a more polished look. Pair with mini skirts and tights for a throwback vibe or go all in on grunge with cargos and platform boots. Textured leather or faux leather options like croc or matte finishes add dimension. Bonus points for shearling or fleece-lined versions for extra warmth.

How to Style Bomber Jackets for Winter


Bomber jackets bring sporty-meets-streetwear energy to any winter outfit. For the perfect winter going out outfit, these are perfect for layering over hoodies, flannels, or fitted long sleeves. Try a satin or nylon bomber with joggers and high-tops for a classic athleisure look. Want to elevate it? Swap joggers for tailored pants and add loafers or heeled boots. Bomber silhouettes also look great with mini skirts and tights for an edgy-yet-feminine fit. Don’t be afraid of color blocking or embroidered details - they make a statement without overdoing it. Lightweight but bold, bombers are your go-to for transitional weather or mild winter days.

How to Style Oversized Jackets for Winter


Oversized jackets are all about volume and attitude. They’re the kind of piece that makes an outfit feel intentional - even if it’s just jeans and a basic top underneath. The trick is in the proportions: balance the bulk with more fitted pieces like leggings, bike shorts, or a slim midi dress. You can also lean into the oversized look with wide-leg pants and chunky boots if you want that cool, layered streetwear energy. Play with textures - think a sherpa-lined jacket over satin or corduroy on denim. Accessories like crossbody bags or statement earrings help keep the look grounded.

How to Style a Varsity Jackets for Winter


Varsity jackets give off vintage collegiate vibes, but they’re totally modern when styled right. Rock one with high-waisted jeans and sneakers for an off-duty look that still feels intentional. For a more on trend take, layer it over a mini dress with platform boots. Oversized varsity jackets pair well with cargo pants and baby tee for a cool, edgy. Look for leather sleeves, patches, or bold back graphics to keep things interesting. Try layering a hoodie underneath for extra warmth and dimension. Whether you're channeling throwback energy or remixing it for now, varsity jackets are a seasonal win.

Winter coats aren’t just about staying warm - they’re the finishing touch that ties your whole outfit together. From puffers to leather jackets, every outerwear piece brings its own personality and styling potential. With the right layers, accessories, and confidence, you can make any winter look your own. This season don’t just throw on a coat - build a look around it. Experiment with new silhouettes, textures, and color palettes that match your vibe and the weather. Cold days don’t have to mean boring outfits.
