Your Official Guide to All the Types of Coats and Jackets You Should Own (YW!)

Not all puffer coats are down, but all down coats are puffers. Get it? But what is the difference, you ask? Down styles are made specifically using duck or goose feathers for insulation (and extra fluffiness), like THE "Amazon coat," here.

And now, here’s your puffer. This one will keep you nice and warm while still making any outfit look good.

This puffer parka is basically two coats in one, because it's reversible! It'll keep you feelin' warm and lookin' stylish throughout the upcoming cold months.

Anoraks are typically a pull-over style coat, occasionally featuring a hood and a drawstring at the waist. This one from trusted winter-wear brand Helly Hansen will be perfect for all of your fall and winter outdoor activities.

You already know this one, duh, but it’s a staple that literally everyone needs in their closets.

A fall must! Everyone needs a leather or faux-leather jacket for those days that are too cold for a hoodie, but not quite cold enough for a full-on winter coat.

Going for a sporty look? Get yourself a letterman jacket. They usually have embroidery or a school patch on one side—or, in this case, the brand's logo—on the front, as well as contrasting stripes on the collar and sleeves.

Peacoats are usually double-breasted (meaning that they have two columns of buttons), and this one is the perfect transitional piece to throw over your late autumn/early winter 'fits.

Want to feel like you have a blanket around you at all times? That’s where faux-fur coats come in, because, wow, are they warm. With these, you can get that super-soft, fluffy fur feel, but still feel good about wearing it out.

Loose-fitting and breezy, a duster is usually left open so it swings with each step. If you're more drawn to patterns, this printed one is calling your name.

Like the name suggests, these are a longer overcoat style and have a sleek, simple silhouette. And this ivory one is undeniably chic.

You’ll def want a trusty raincoat to prevent you from getting damp and miserable. This coat is actually waterproof and windproof!

Wear it as a shirt or wear it as a jacket—the shacket is the perfect transitional piece for your wardrobe!

In need of a sophisticated winter coat? The double-breasted style will give you just that! This style has symmetrical columns of buttons on each side, so they tend wrap a little more snug around your body for a tighter fit.

If there’s only one column of buttons, then it’s single-breasted. It makes this burgundy coat look minimal and so chic.

If you live in a place with brutal winters, a wool coat definitely keeps any chilly air at bay thanks to its thick, heavy fabric. But just because it’s a v functional material doesn’t mean it can’t be stylish, too. Take this sophisticated Cos one, for instance.

This is similar to a faux-fur jacket with its degree of fluffiness, but it’s closer to a shearling material. Perfect for looking extra cute on those chilly winter days.

Barn jackets are traditionally worn for outdoor work and are usually made of denim or waxed canvas—i.e., durable fabrics for roughing it. If you’re hiking or camping outdoors, you def wanna add one of these to your cart.
