The key to loving winter is dressing for the occasion. The best winter coat is the jacket you grab for walking the dog, running errands, indulging in après—and sometimes even skiing. Some parkas simply add warmth to your ski kit on cold days. Others, designed with style at the forefront, demand to be seen. All of them keep you toasty and hopefully dry from snow and rain, too.
This year’s best winter coats and parkas ran the gamut from eye-catching overstuffed down puffies to low-profile body heat reflective layers. They were cropped and knee length, and made for men and women, and sometimes both. Wherever you live, and in whatever temperatures you wander, these are the best parkas and coats of 2026.
