With so many silhouettes to choose from — from bomber jackets and structured overcoats to sporty, technical designs — finding the best winter jacket can feel overwhelming. Should you prioritize style, warmth or a balance of both? These are the season’s key questions.

Fortunately, our expert merchandising team has done the hard work for you, curating their top picks for men’s winter jackets and coats. After all, just because the temperature drops off doesn’t mean your style has to follow suit.

Moncler Grenoble Coraia padded coat

Made for the slopes, Moncler Grenoble is your first port of call for all things high-performance. Whether you’re heading out for a hike, hitting the slopes or your route to work is particularly frosty, this Coraia coat promises to keep you warm while making you the envy of every après-ski attendee. The ski pass compartment and phone pocket keep your valuables intact while the hidden powder skirt creates a sealed barrier, deflecting snow and locking in that warmth for longer.

Stone Island Stellina hooded jacket

If you’re looking for functional waterproof outerwear that blends seamlessly into your day-to-day rotation, this men’s winter jacket from iconic streetwear label Stone Island is the one for you. Bursting with on-trend technical details like a drawstring hood and a minimalist silhouette, you can throw this lightweight layer over any casual look with faux intentionality. The GORE-TEX membrane is completely waterproof as well as being breathable, making it a must for unpredictable weather.

LEMAIRE shearling-trim jacket

If functional outerwear doesn’t fit your fashion prerogative for winter, look to key trends like shearling and leather to keep you warm and your looks feeling fresh. Complete with a lambskin fur interior and buckle collar, this men’s jacket from LEMAIRE is perfect to throw over a plain tee and baggy trousers. Be warned, once you’re wrapped in its cozy clutches, you won’t want to take it off.

AMI Paris single-breasted wool coat

A favorite among the quiet-luxury crowd, the modest wool coat delivers tailored minimalism and a confidently structured silhouette. Its virgin wool composition naturally traps heat while remaining breathable. Wear this piece over your workwear or pair it with jeans and a hoodie — this men’s coat is as versatile as it is warm. If you’re searching for a timeless investment, this piece from AMI Paris is it.

Burberry Heritage Kensington belted trench coat

There are few pieces more synonymous with British culture than the Burberry trench coat. A staple of the winter wardrobe, the Kensington is a classic lightweight style, perfect for layering during that awkward in-between weather. The Kensington embodies Burberry’s sartorial codes from its epaulettes to its storm shield — and some Vintage Check thrown in for good measure. Simply throw over plain tees, jeans and a sweater or add as a finishing touch to a tailored suit. It’s undeniable, this men’s winter coat is as versatile as it is steeped in fashion history.

One minute you’re battling freezing winds, next you’re pressed against commuters on your way to work — dressing for winter can be tough to navigate. How do we effectively combat this? Layering, of course.

We asked our menswear specialist Beata Drzymalska for tips on layering up for the winter. She sums up the approach, ‘When it comes to layering up, adopt classic “throw-off” options for ease. Think basic tees with flannel shirts and an outerwear piece for whatever the weather.’

So then, the art of layering is finding an equilibrium between a series of staple pieces, whether that is tees and button downs, overcoats and scarves or tanks and long-sleeved shirts. Keep it light on the base layers and bulk up as you go to lock in heat, and don’t be shy — mixing textures and fabrics can only elevate the look and give it intentionality.
