The Best Winter Coat Deals to Shop Before the Cold Hits

It's time for you to drag out those under-the-bed storage containers. Get your cold-weather wear out; see if your winter coat that was on it's last legs will offer any kind of condition to protect you from the elements. If you're praying that decade-old coat is still up to snuff and that the holes where the down escapes from aren't as big as you remembered, don't hold out hope. It might be time to re-invest

Instead of suffering with a sub-par coat, why not invest in a new jacket for this upcoming season? And since this is an incredibly pricey subsection of clothes buying, why not do so at a discount? Winter coats are rarely on sale just before the first snowfall, but we were able to find some amazing deals as colder weather looms.

Amazon, Huckberry, REI, and Nordstrom, have a ton of attractive coats on sale that might make you a little more willing to leave your apartment, and they're in variety of styles. There are the requisite winter coats with a more sporty look, some classic puffer jackets to insulate you from bitter winds, pea coats for a more buttoned-up look and slimmer quilted jackets that are perfect for layering.

Listen—we get it. Winter can be a drag and lugging around that big coat or layering up beyond recognition is just part of the deal. Which is why, at the very least, you should like the look of the coats you wear. It's the least you can do for yourself as you mentally prepare to hibernate for the winter—like, if you're going to go outside to meet some friends for hot toddies or take a workout class before bundling up on the couch for the rest of the day, you might as well look good doing it.
