There are jackets and coats for every season, from breezy spring afternoons to blustery winter days. Here’s a handy guide:
Spring and early summer: A jean jacket won't warm you up too much but will protect you from light winds, making it the perfect piece to wear on a mild sunny day. On rainy days, nothing beats a waterproof rain jacket, raincoat, or trench coat. Etsy sellers make them in all sorts of colors, from classic black to playful prints.
Fall: A quilted jacket, leather jacket, or a wool coat will serve you well in the fall—or in-between seasons when it's a little chilly but not freezing.
Winter: When the temps dip to freezing levels, a puffer jacket or a parka coat are your best friends. Most of these women’s winter coats have some kind of insulating padding (like down or thermal fabric made from synthetic fibers) to warm you up, and many are waterproof to help you stay dry, too. If there's no snow in the forecast, a sherpa jacket or shearling coat can also keep you toasty.
