During fall, and as winter approaches, it also marks the time to start grabbing your warm clothing. This includes your jackets and coats. However, just because your focus will be to protect yourself from the cold, it does not mean that you trade off looking good. This is why you need to be up to date with the latest jacket/coat trends. From puffers, to parkas, faux leather, double breasts, and trench coats, there are a lot of styles to consider.

Here are some of the favorites for this fall and winter:

1. The North Face Miss Metro II Water Repellent Hooded Parka

Another great way to beat the cold this winter is with the North Face Miss Metro II Water Repellent Hooded Parka. It is long enough to insulate your upper body all the way to the hips with its 550-fill goose down. It has a soft suede finish with the seams forming geometric patterns which give the jacket a beautiful appearance. It has a removable hood giving you flexibility. The jacket also comes with a two-way front zip that is covered with a placket to create a seamless look. It also has zipped pockets for your items that can also serve as hand pockets to keep your hands warm.

2. Canada Goose Rossclair Genuine Coyote Fur Trim Down Parka

For something versatile that can fit in various settings, the Canada Goose Rossclair Genuine Coyote Fur Trim Down Parka is a great option. It comes with a removable fur ruff that you can keep for a sophisticated look and added protection or remove it for a more laid back look. In case it gets warm during the day, it has interior backpack straps that will make carrying it around easier. You can also adjust the fit and appearance of the jacket using the adjustable drawcord at the waist line and the zipper at the back gusset.

3. Nanushka Hide Puffer Coat

The Nanushka Hide Puffer Coat is a great jacket to keep you warm on the chilly days while at the same time trendy and stylish. The puffer jacket is well padded and will give your outfit some great volume. The jacket is made with soft faux leather which gives it a nice sleek appearance. You can wear it open or closed with the snap buttons at the front which also give the jacket a unique tufted design. It also has side slit pockets in which you can comfortably slip in your hands.

4. Columbia Mighty Lite Hooded Jacket

The Columbia Mighty Lite Hooded Jacket is designed to keep you warm while still maintaining that casual feminine look. It is long and gives a flattering A-line silhouette. The seam details give a pattern (geometric baffling) which adds to the beauty of the jacket. The inner lining uses the Omni-Heat thermal reflection and Omni-shield technologies that will help to keep you warm and dry. You can keep your items safe in its zip-closed pockets or in the interior security pocket. It also has comfort cuffs that have thumb holes to give your wrist additional protection.

5. Ralph Lauren Wool-Blend Military Coat

When it comes to elegance, the Ralph Lauren Wool-Blend Military Coat is an ideal choice. It has a nice slim fit with an A-line silhouette. Military inspired, the coat has been decorated with vintage buttons which have the Ralph Lauren logo embossed on them. The buttons are arranged in two parallel lines which creates a double breast effect. This, together with the notched lapel and the two front patch pockets contribute to the overall refined look of the coat.
