Cold-climate girls: your warmest winter coat?

IntlSet · Sep 3rd, 2008, 11:53 AM

Mine is a puffy red Northface jacket that I bought from the little boys department... I really need a long parka, though.

What are you wearing in the frigid winter?

It's coming, yikes!

grayxie · Sep 3rd, 2008, 12:15 PM

I have a full length down North Face, I call it my sleeping bag.

I hate hate hate coats!
I would say one of my delias wool

or my assortment of northface denalis

I have a gorgeous, long parka by Michael Kors with a fur trimmed hood. It's gorgeous and a little more sleek than similar North Face versions I've seen.

I got mine from eBay for less than $80, I think.

When it is winter, I'll be heading to a desert. No coat this year, YES!!!!!!!

I have a shearling, but I hardly ever wear it. I also have a couple down jackets. But most likely I will just bear the cold in a wool or cashmere coat.

I have gotten myself a couple of good warm wool coats for this year, but am still needing a good parka/waterproof for those super cold days.

I have a BLACK down Juicy Couture parka coat.

This is the childs version^^^^, mine is the adults and it doesn't have that logo on the sleeve. It is pretty warm but I can get really cold so I would usually wear a couple of layers underneath too.

When it's really cold outside, I wear my black down filled "Failford" Burberry coat. Best buy ever. It's not my usual style, but it's so functional and I do love it. It's so flattering too for such a warm coat, because it can be belted at the waist, so you don't look like a puffy marshmallow haha (and it has a hood for when it snows)! :) I wish it came in chocolate brown too! :)

Here it is:

I'm considering this one too... it's a pretty, neutral color, but I'm wary of it getting dirty... plus, I have to see how long it is on me. :)

candypants1100 · Sep 3rd, 2008, 07:58 PM

i have a really awesome coach coat- down with fur trimmed hood. it hits at the top of the thigh and has these silver hood button type things. i LOVE it, its so warm and thick, yet so sleek and form flattering.

Nice coats everyone!

Mine would be my Orage ski jacket. Not the warmest jacket in existence, but it's pretty decent.

Fur coat. I know that they can be controversial but it is the warmest coat I own and only pull it out when it is REALLY cold.
