27 Plus Size Coats & Parkas For A Stylish Winter

There comes a point of no return every winter when — no matter how many layers you have under that cute fall coat — it's just too freaking cold out. Clearly, you need a winter coat. However, finding some perfect plus size winter coats that suit your personal style and come in your size can be a task that feels as daunting and impossible as Abbi from Broad City making it through Whole Foods while under the influence of anesthesia.

I live in a super cold climate (colder than Mars, at times), so choosing the perfect winter coat isn't just a seasonal task that's required to protect me from the elements. I wear my winter coat over every single outfit for about six months out of the year. And it's as tricky as choosing one item to wear out in public every single day for half the year sounds like it would be. One coat to rule them all? That's... uh, just a bit of pressure.

Hunting down a coat that's the right mix of style and substance and fits in your budget might tempt you to throw on every article of clothing you own, Joey Tribbiani style, and just give up. But whether your style is sporty, elegant, colorful, minimalist, feminine, comfy, or some mix of all of the above, here are 27 coats that'll hopefully make the process a little easier.

1. Toasty Olive

Boohoo Madison Parka With Faux Fur Trim, $80, boohoo.com

This is the standby coat that's the perfect mix of utilitarian and cool with cozy faux fur.

2. Minimalist & Oversized

Marc New York Wendy Melton Coat, $139, amazon.com

I hesitate to call notched lapels and single buttons menswear-inspired because sophisticated has no gender. That being said, this coat's tailored fit and gorgeous weight are absolutely perfect to take you from weekend brunch to holiday party warm and in style.

3. That's A Wrap (Coat)

Eloquii Plaid Wrap Coat, $179.90, eloquii.com

Equal parts quaint and chic, this jacket goes up to a size 28 so babes of many sizes can get in on the belted goodness.

4. Modern Puffer

This silvery puffer coat is all athleisure dream babe of the future and zero percent soccer mom.

5. Little Yellow Riding Hood

9. Berry Berry Warm

Sometimes you want the coat that gets it done, is made for actually being outdoors, and also ensures that if you get lost on the ski hills you'll easily be spotted by a babely mountain rescuer.

10. Wintery White

Outdoor Orchestra Coat, $159.99, modcloth.com

Is there anything more stunning than a feminine silhouette in a crisp winter white? I'm not sure that there is. Stick to white hot chocolate to keep your dry cleaning bill down, though.

This oversized wool cut with sharp button and pocket zipper details — and an unexpected pop of red at the collar — is definitely a sophisticated grownup investment worth making.
