Will you find something for yourself on our list of the best winter jackets for women?
Head on down and find out!
Before You Choose
Here are a few things to consider before you select a jacket:
- Occasion – Are you looking for a formal jacket for a special event, a fancy night out on the town, or do you need something a bit more casual and durable for everyday use?
- Hood – Do you prefer a hooded or a hoodless jacket? Do you want one that has a hood that can be removed?
- WaterproofSome jackets are better at keeping the water out than others. If you spend a lot of time outdoors in the winter in snowy or rainy conditions, then make sure you get a jacket that won’t have you feeling like you just stepped out of the shower after 10 minutes!
- Length – Waist length, thigh length, knee length or somewhere in between? Find the one that will help you best balance out your proportions.
- Check the Washing Instructions – If you don’t have time for spot cleaning or the dry cleaners, then you’ll need to make sure that the jacket is machine washable.
What You Wear Under the Jacket
The chances are that you won’t be wearing just a t-shirt under the jacket. You’ll have layers on!
Take this into consideration as you try on different jackets because those layers will add volume. Ensure that both you and your extra layers will fit into the jacket once you’re dressed.
Jacket Weight
Do you need a heavy waterproof jacket because you usually get three feet of snow and sub-zero temperatures, or do you have a more mild winter with rain?
Find the right weight for your climate, and remember that you can always add on a few extra layers if you’re on the chilly side.
