Best Women’s Winter Coats: 20 Best, Warmest Women’s Coats
A curated list of the best women’s winter coats, featuring top rated, high quality warm down winter coats and parkas — reviewed to be the warmest, best women’s winter coats.
We had fun curating this collection. Oddly enough, we couldn’t find many thoroughly reviewed and researched lists of the best women’s winter coats when we Googled for it, so we decided to do our own. We could find a few posts that involved simple lists that featured a single company, but not comprehensive lists. If it’s not already clear, we curated primarily for warmth — that is, we put aesthetics second. We’re not saying these coats aren’t stylish and aesthetically pleasing — many are — just that function and quality were given more attention. Below you’ll find some of the best women’s winter coats by leading brands in the area, such as Canada Goose, The North Face, Patagonia and Moncler. Each provides superior warmth and comfort. We looked specifically for multi-layer coats that use high quality down and polyester, and that sit right above the knee for extra coverage and warmth. We weren’t messing around. Let us know what you think in the comments below.
