Winter coats are a must-have in every woman’s winter wardrobe, especially if you, like us, live somewhere that transforms into a snowy wonderland once November hits. When the temperatures start to drop, your winter coat becomes your best friend and constant companion, which is why it’s important to make sure you have one that’ll keep you cozy all season. Here are a few of our favorite brands to shop for women’s plus size winter coats.
What is the Best Coat for Winter for Plus-Size Women?
Just like with shoes, winter coats aren’t one size fits all. Depending on where you live, you might not need the heavy-duty, insulated, full-length parka that is required on a daily basis in frigid Northern Wisconsin, where Masseys calls home. What you’re wearing that day might also have an impact on which coat you choose. If you’re wearing a dress or skirt that leaves your legs exposed to the elements, or protected only by thin tights, a longer style like a trench coat is a great choice.
For everyday wear, though, you might want something a bit lighter, which is where a lightweight puffer jacket might be best. There really is no singular best coat, but that means you get to collect jackets in different styles, colors, and lengths, and isn’t that more fun anyway? Here are a few different brands that you’ll definitely want to include in your winter coat collection.
Our Favorite Brands for Plus-Size Winter Coats
K Jordan®
Something that sets K Jordan® apart from other makers of women’s plus- size coats is the wide variety of styles they have to choose from. It’s not just plus -size puffer coats, though K Jordan® does have a few of those that are super chic, you’ve got peacoats, teddy bear coats, cropped faux fur coats, stunning leather jackets, and more! Many of these plus size women’s jackets go all the way up to size 5X, giving everyone a chance to strut their stuff in warm winter style.
If you’re looking for something different than the standard black winter coat, K Jordan® has your back…literally! They’ve got plus-size winter coats in easy-to-style shades like olive, navy blue, cream, and more, and even brighter options for the fashionista who’s feeling bold.
The North Face
When you really need to stay warm (Wisconsin winters, we’re looking at you), The North Face is the way to go. Their plus-size winter coats pack some serious heat with high-quality down or Heatseeker™ synthetic insulation that keeps you comfortable when waiting for the bus, watching the kiddos at hockey practice, or walking the dog around the block. If you don’t need something super warm, The North Face also has lighter jackets that can be worn in fall and spring, too!
Masseys®
Masseys® is another brand with a whole lot of options, especially if you’re in the market for a long coat. If you’re someone who likes to wear dresses and skirts during the winter, a plus-size long winter coat is an absolute must, providing your legs with much-needed protection from the wind and elements. Even if you prefer to wear jeans and leggings more often than a skirt or dress, your legs will welcome the extra barrier between your skin and the cold.
For places with winters that aren’t quite so aggressive, Masseys® also has plus-size women’s winter coats in shorter lengths that are just as stylish and unique. Don’t be surprised if you find yourself reluctant to pack these cute coats away for the warmer months. They’ll be ready and waiting for you when the first flurries start to fall!
Columbia
Columbia is another big name in the game of staying warm during the winter months. Many of their plus-size puffer coats combine plush insulation with Omni-Heat™ reflective lining to keep heat trapped inside where you need it. These coats do a great job of keeping you warm without feeling too bulky or heavy, which is especially important if you’re going to be lugging your coat around all winter long.
With these brands in your winter wardrobe, you’ll be more than prepared to stay cozy and warm all season long. Need some tips on how to style your new favorite plus-size winter coat?
