It’s almost that time of year again where you definitely can’t leave the house without a jacket anymore. The days are getting shorter, the temperature is dropping, and the weather is becoming a bit unpredictable. If you live in an area that gets winter you know how one minute it can be sunshine and the next everything can be covered in blankets of snow. If you’re trying to prepare yourself for the upcoming colder weather this list is for you. Below are ten different winter jackets that totally worth the money. These are the jackets that will not only keep you warm but they’ll also keep you looking stylish all winter long. Jackets are a unique kind of clothing because they tend to be more durable and last for a few years. That’s why they might be pricey but they are definitely worth the investment. No one wants to get caught in a snowstorm with nothing but a cardigan on.
Teddy jackets were all the rage last year and this year is no different. These aren’t the most snow appropriate winter jackets but they will definitely get the job done. While they aren’t waterproof they definitely are warm. The style is to wear them slightly larger than your normal size, which is perfect for the coldest season of the year. You’ll be able to pack several layers underneath this jacket to ensure you maintain a good body temperature.

North Face is known for making quality outdoor gear but that doesn’t mean they still don’t make jackets for everyday wear. The Osito 2 Jacket is a high-pile fleece jacket that has a relaxed shape to it. It will compliment your body without being too restricting. This jacket will hit you just below your waist and even though it seems thin it isn’t at all. This is a great stand alone piece but because it’s so compact it will fit over any other winter jackets you own.

If you like the teddy jacket look but want something a bit more structured and less laidback this jacket is for you. The Acelitt Women’s Winter Thick Warm Fleece Coat will give you the comfort of a teddy jacket but it is a tad bit more stylish. The zipper and intricate front gives this winter jacket a bit more dimension. It still will look great oversized but this jacket will also look good slightly more fitted. Plus a lot of time winter jackets are made for more functionality than fashion but this one will look great if you wear it on a date.
