As a New Yorker who has experienced many bone-chillingly cold winters (opens in new tab), I have learned that you can never have too many coats. My closet is so full of jackets and coats of all shapes and sizes (opens in new tab) that I have to close it with my weight each time (insert scene from Katherine Heigl's closet bursting in "27 Dresses"). That said, when the icy winds start blowing, I'll be the first in line to get my hands on the season's latest styles. From overstuffed cropped puffers to traditional double-breasted wool coats, there is no end to the must-have coats and jackets for women this season. Fortunately, we've shopped the best of the best in every price range to keep you warm even in the lowest temperatures.

I love a little drama, especially in the winter. That's why I love shaggy teddy coats. It's because it comes in neutral, easy-to-style colors and packs a big style punch thanks to its three-dimensional texture. The longer silhouette makes the modern teddy fabric look classier, while the bolder, shorter version feels fresh for this new season.

Eye-catching padded coats trap the heat in and keep it out. Padded coats are at the top of the trend chart this season. The cropped fit pairs well with everything from casual jeans and light knits to all-weather gear to keep you looking chic after a day on the slopes. You can stay warm without looking like a Michelin Man.

Another must-have trend this year: shirring. Jackets trimmed in shearling are both comfortable and cool. Designed with a relaxed fit, these vintage-inspired jackets are the perfect off-duty piece to layer over any outfit.

Animal prints bring a touch of glamour to any look. Layer a leopard or snakeskin coat over a sexy date night outfit and you're sure to turn heads.

If you're looking for an investment coat, you can stop here. The traditional double-breasted coat will never go out of style, even if you wear it year after year. The roomy silhouette is perfect for layering and offers endless styling options, from your favorite skirt to leather pants.
