Bare with me... I live in Florida but it does get cold! I am in the upper part of the state, lived here for a little while but I still don't know how to exist in the winter. Last year we were in the 20-30's a lot. Usually it's windy, wet, raining or threatens to snow but doesn't stick (mostly frost).
Right now, I have a cotton trench and a leather jacket. I have one of those puffer jackets but it's all synthetic materials.
I have no idea what the best coat is for this climate. The cotton is okay but is miserable if it's wet and it doesn't keep the wind out.
The puffer jacket is probably the warmest I have but I would like natural materials if possible.
What do you guys think I need for this climate? I don't want to sacrifice style unless I have to. Should I try wool or something else? Do you have any good recommendations for brands? I would need to stay at or below $300 and want it to be a coat I can wear for years.
Thanks for your help.
