As the cool fall weather settles in, so do the rainy days that can accompany it. Fend off precipitation with an under-$100, weatherproof topper from Quince with a vintage-yet-timeless feel and five colorways to best complement your wardrobe. It’s made from breathable fabric for comfort and performance, and the long line and cinched waist offer a flattering silhouette without added bulk.

GGleaf Women’s Hooded Quilted Puffer Jacket with Removable Fur Hood
For a simple, affordable coat that’s likely to go with your daily looks and keep you toasty, this Amazon favorite from GGleaf is a great choice. It’s windproof and waterproof, with a fur-lined hood to keep your ears, neck and face warm against harsh winds. It’s machine-washable for your convenience, and it comes in a fairly impressive size range of S through 5X with eight color options.

This ultra-soft, extraordinarly chic cheetah-print, faux fur cape offers the kind of old school glamour that makes it an instant heirloom now and for decades to come. It offers easy movement thanks to side vents where you can tuck in your arms for extra warmth as needed, and the oversized fit makes it easy to move in so your movement is never restricted. Be warned though: You’re going to get compliments all day, especially when folks catch a glimpse of the stunning emerald satin lining inside.
Wrangler x Lainey Wilson The Iconic Lainey Coat
We mentioned this coat when initially covering this Lainey Wilson x Wrangler launch some months back, but momentum has only grown for it as temperatures have cooled down, and now it’s one of the bestselling pieces on Wrangler’s website. The super-soft sherpa lining is like being robed in clouds, and the faded black denim outer layer adds the sort of versatility and cool cowgirl edge we love.
KARL LAGERFELD PARIS Long Belted Puffer Coat
Black is the go-to color for adaptable outerwear, and this faux fur-lined, sleek silhouette puffer is a top pick for wearing with anything this winter — but make it goth and glam. It has a flattering cinched waist to give you shape while keeping you warm, and a cozy hood offers extra protection from sharp winds and cutting cold. Deep front pockets offer a place to tuck chilled hands, and it’s the perfect weight for topping off fall looks or layering up once the real winter temps settle in.

High Ridge Twill Studio Jacket – Unisex – Wildwood Plaid
A popular pick — and one that’s selling out quickly — from Faherty is the High Ride Twill Studio jacket, which follows the classic shape of a barn or chore jacket and is made from a plaid twill that calls to mind British coutryside dressing at its most elegant, yet casual. The unisex styling and slightly oversized fit make it great for layering with sweatshirts, cable knits, or casual blouses for a variety of looks, and details like the front patch pockets and corduroy collar add interest without overwhelming the sleek, timeless feel.

Zeagoo Flannels for Women Cropped Shacket
The bestselling casual women’s jacket on Amazon deserves its place at the top for a reason: It’s warm but lightweight, ideal for layering, and the oversized plaid offers a soft spin on the traditional cool-weather print. A slightly boxy, cropped fit is flattering on a wide array of body types, and it comes in more than two dozen colorways, so you can find your perfect fit. At under $40, you might even buy a few — one for each layering look you’re wearing this fall and winter.

Hooever Women’s Winter Wool Coat Casual Notch Lapel Single-Breasted Peacoat
If you’re looking for a basic peacoat that goes with everything and is super affordable, you can’t go wrong with the bestselling pick on Amazon. It comes in a ton of wearable colors and is made from a wool-poly blend, making it extra warm and great for adding simple sophistication to your winter looks.

Thoughtfully crafted from twice-boiled Merino wool, this chore coat from Buck Mason will live in your closet for decades as a perfect outfit finisher or middle layer jacket when temperatures drop below freezing, offering impeccable insulation and durability despite its relatively light weight.
Long Chore Blazer in Suede
The suede trend has reached a fever pitch, but it doesn’t seem to be slowing down anytime soon, and what’s better is it probably won’t, since suede is such a classic material! Invest in a jacket you can see yourself wearing for decades, like this gorgeous chore blazer from Madewell. It has the perfectly roomy fit you want in a jacket that’s made to be worn over lush sweaters, and the cognac shade will look chic now, in 10 years, in 20 years and beyond!
Women’s FeatherFree Insulated Diamond Quilted Maxi Coat
This jacket is water resistant, light as a feather and — for the eco-conscious shopper — uses approximately 17 recycled plastic bottles in the materials used to create it. Diamond quilting helps the insulation stay evenly distributed across the entire jacket, which ends just below the knee for extra protection from the cold.
Maeve Cropped Faux-Fur Coat
A cropped faux fur jacket is one of the most glamorous ways to stay warm this winter, and the brand Maeve’s take on this closet must-have looks rich with its various shades of brown, large collar and convenient front pockets for stashing your gloves or phone.
Lauren Ralph Lauren Women’s Hooded Quilted Coat
For a coat that’s warm and sophisticated, that will never go out of style, look no further than this pick from Lauren Ralph Lauren that has a funnel neck, detachable hood, engraved metal hardware and a beautiful herringbone pattern on diamond-quilted fabric.
The Slouch Coat – Soft Wool Cashmere
Aritzia’s popular Slouch Coat remains an obvious choice for top-performing, chic and versatile outerwear for winter 2025. It has a perfectly voluminous look that’s in step with the favorite silhouettes of the season, and the classic Aritzia patch on the arm adds a rich touch that’s hard to ignore. Various neutral shades and prints are available to best fit your preferred look, and it’s made from soft wool cashmere, so it feels great on your skin.
