For some fashion enthusiasts who don't like the cold, winter is the worst time to get dressed. For me, a native New Yorker, it is also the time to show off my extensive coat and jacket collection. I know that my choice of outerwear can make or break my outfits, so I never miss an opportunity to show off my trendy new styles. I wanted to renew my collection with sale pieces before the temperature outside really gets to my bones, and I found plenty of options that fit my budget.

Not one to stick to one type of coat for the season, I chose 18 different options depending on my mood. For example, a leather jacket for when I'm feeling edgy, a long wool coat for a life of quiet luxury, or a puffer coat for the long walk to the supermarket. Nordstrom, J.Crew, Saks Fifth Avenue and more offer editor-approved selections. All are under $300, so consider this an early gift from me.
