Great Winter Coats on the Cheap
December 4, 2007 09:00 AM

It’s December, so the cold air seems to be settling in for good—and you definitely don’t want to face the long winter ahead with a shabby, less-than-cozy coat. But, you say, right now you’re juggling your tightest budget of the year, so how to keep warm without sacrificing holiday cheer? Here’s how—check out these stylish options to fend off the chill, for less than a hundred bucks each.

simply vera wang coat
For the stylista who wants a bit more “Umph” to her coat, by Simply Vera by Vera Wang collection $94.80 at Kohls.com.

overstock coat
A winter wool coat that bucks tradition with hot, modern styling, by Coffee Shop, $86.99 at Overstock.com.

isaac mizrahi coat
The more traditional take on a wool coat, by Isaac Mizrahi for Target (who else?), $89.99 (on sale now, $69.99). And since winter is so dreary, we’d pick it in “orange glow,� just to brighten things up.

la redoute coat
If your location is more arctic than agreeable, this waterproof parka from LaRedoute might be just the thing, for $79.99.

i dont know about you guys but $100 is still to much for my budget. i am 20 yrs old and going to school and working both full time and working on getting a second job and in less then a month i will be out of a home too. i cant afford that kind of money and my job requires me to walk 48 blocks a day. do you have any tips for people who are on a “real” budget???

This posting reminded me that I read a great article in the NYT this week about how global warming is influencing the fashion industry.  With there being less of a distinction between seasons in many parts of the country designers are looking at climate predictions before designing/marketting their season offerings.  With less rain and less harsh winters in certain regions designers are turning to more “seasonless” fabrics for their clothing.

last winter I picked up a great chocolate colored Tahari down coat that goes down to my knees and doesnt make me look like a marshmellow.... for $50 at T.J. Maxx.  They are another great place to look, i dont know what i would do without that place.

C, Goodwill often has great coats.  You might have to go a few times to find one that’s for you.  My daughter got a black cashmere Banana Republic for $14.  The lining needed some work, but even if she had paid to have that done it was a steal.  I have a black cashmere and a nice red wool - each was less than $20.  Good luck!

C-

If you’re looking for a coat to just get you through the winter- regardless of quality or the shape it’s in or whether it’s brand new or not, then you have plenty of options.

Goodwill/Salvation Army is probably the best option. Burlington Coat factory, Big Lots, Value City, are also great places

I’ve purchased several coats from their for around $10, although I’ve noticed that thrift stores are starting to get a bit expensive as well.

C:  the places where i have found less expensive coats are:

Target
Burlington Coat Factory
JCPenney/Sears/Kohl’s
Kmart/Walmart
someone on a different post on this website said the store Steve & Barry’s
Goodwill as someone else has mentioned
If you are in that bad of a financial situation, some charities might be able to help you.  For instance, if you live in NYC, the organization NY Cares is doing a coat drive right now.

Steve & Barry’s, if there’s one in your town, has peacoats for around $20.
