This post is going to be a little different from others.. there’s no weekly outfit however I am going to be talking about my favourite winter jackets. Black Friday (November 23) and Cyber Monday (November 26) are coming up and I’ve got my eye on a few!

Here are my favourites:

Babaton Pearce Wool Coat

I have been admiring Aritzia’s Babaton Pearce Wool Coat for probably two years now. What I’m not crazy about is the $350 price tag. Tailor Tan and Charcoal are my favourite colours. I feel like charcoal might go with more of my clothes, however.

Chateau Parka in Italian stadium-wool cloth

If you thought $350 was steep for a jacket, you haven’t met J. Crew’s Chateau parka in stadium-wool cloth. At $467, it better be the best fitting, warmest, best coat I have ever owned. However, the reviews aren’t that great. J. Crew does have really good sales (this jacket was recently 35% off). Even if it’s 40% off for Black Friday/Cyber Monday, the reviews have really changed my thoughts on this jacket. It’s so nice though…

Alpine Meadows

I discovered Ellabee International on Instagram. They are based in Montreal! I loved the look of their jackets, and when I looked on their website I discovered the Alpine Meadows jacket. It has a slight resemblance to the Pearce Wool Coat from Aritzia, but it’s much lower prices at $169.99. The downside? There’s only three colours and I don’t love any of them.

Zara Overcoat with Faux Fur Hood

The toggles. The cognac. The square front pockets. The faux fur. There isn’t one thing I don’t like about this jacket. This Zara Overcoat with Faux Fur Hood checks off all the boxes as well as boxes I didn’t know I had until now. It’s $269, so it’s in the middle of the pack, price-wise.

Shawl Collar Wrap Coat

This Anne Taylor Shawl Collar Wrap Coat gets an honourable mention. I won’t be buying it because it doesn’t have a hood and I don’t think it would be warm enough for a Saskatchewan winter. Also, it’s around $273 and I remember putting it in my shopping cart last year to see how much it would be total, and duties, taxes, and shipping were a LOT.

As you can see, I tend to stick to neutral colours that will go with everything. I have the same strategy when I buy purses.
