Winter is coming.
Regardless of the season, it’s always a good idea to invest in a quality winter coat to hang in your closet. It’s undeniably the best way to brave the cold, especially if one of our 30 favorite blazers is too lightweight an option.
Even if you’re wearing a simple, neutral t-shirt and jeans — or, perhaps one of our top 65 bodysuit picks — a fuzzy teddy or powerhouse houndstooth can rev up your look. (Related: Best women’s ski jackets of 2021).
