It’s officially winter coat season, and I couldn’t be more inspired. Something about the drama of an oversized coat belted at the waist, or the playful thrill of a leopard-print jacket, fills me with joy. My affection for cashmere-blend and brushed-wool outerwear begins with finding the right style aspiration. This morning, I scrolled endlessly through my IG Saved Folder for only the most elegant winter coat ensembles. Taking to heart the fashion set’s jacket selection, I matched them to an affordable winter coat on the market. Calling on some of my favorite budget-friendly brands, such as Oak and Fort, Zara, H&M, and Mango, I compiled a list of the chicest affordable winter coats. Trust me, any of these elegant editor-picks are sure to be the star of your winter wardrobe.

Below, you'll find It-girl coats from high-neck silhouettes to cropped faux-fur jackets, inspired by the closets of London’s fashion set and the streets of NYC: shop rich-looking, affordable winter coats for 2026.
