30 Winter Coats & Jackets To Help You Survive Winter 2025

I don’t know about your status with the season, but winter and I? It’s a love-hate relationship. I love it because it’s cold and you can get all nice and cosy. My favourite part of all is the layering potential — the fashion element really pops off, which is why I’ve done the hard work and found you the best winter coats and jackets for 2025.

The downside to winter? The cold really sucks when you have to brave it. And this year? It’s fucking icy. So while looking good is a priority, staying warm is right up there alongside it. This season’s winter jackets and coats are working overtime, baby.

Whether you prefer a casual jacket or a more stylish coat, there are heaps of styles to choose from — think trench coats, bomber jackets, puffer jackets, the list goes on. Oh, and ‘scoats’ (scarf coats) are now a thing for those who love a two-in-one combo!

We’ve gone ahead and rounded up the best women’s jackets and coats for winter. If you haven’t gotten comfy just yet, these bad boys will surely do the trick.

While red was all the rage last year, its slightly quieter, more sophisticated older sister burgundy has stepped into the limelight this season. This Perfect Stranger burgundy bomber is an absolutely gorg hue, with a simple design that you can easily dress up or down to suit whatever the hell you’re getting up to in the freezing cold.

It’s a cult favourite for a reason. This sell-out bomber from Melbourne brand Scarlet and Sam is slightly cropped with the perfect level of puff, giving off ultimate cool-girl vibes and saving you from standing there, chattering your teeth off. They’ve extended the colour range due to its insane popularity, so why not dabble in one or two?

Nothing screams ‘I’m too cool to care how fucking freezing it is’ more than an edgy leather bomber. Are you a Melburnian, or a rockstar? I guess we’ll never know.

Alternative leather jacket recommendations:

Suede is leather’s softer, more approachable cousin, and she’s come to steal the spotlight this winter. We’re obsessed with the utility style of this The Fated jacket. Paired with the rich chocolatey hue? Divine!

With the ultimate puff potential and a hood that actually hoods, the Superdry Hooded Sports Puffer is a winter essential. This baby makes the elements seem piss weak, with fleecy pockets to keep your handsies warm and a high collar that’ll protect your precious neck.

Alternative puffer jacket recommendations:

Cropped and boxy silhouettes are the star of the show this season. Cool, calm and collected, this trench is utter perfection for when you need an outer layer, but not a full-on army to shield you from enemy winds. She’s a cutie with the collar up, too.

Alternative puffer jacket recommendations:

Nothing beats a classic trench, and this one from AERE is no exception. Made from 100 per cent organic cotton, it’s warm enough with a t-shirt during the transeasonal period, and looks super chic layered with knits, hoodies and jumpers on the chilliest of days.

We’re all for the two-in-one combo that scoats have to offer, and what better way to adapt the summer trend of silk scarf tops to the winter season? The scarf on this NA-KD scoat (aka a scarf coat) is removable, so if you do the girl math, you’re actually getting two coats, meaning double the amount of wear.

Nothing beats a wool coat — I repeat, nothing. Combining style and comfort, it’s the true winter warrior when it comes to the daily wardrobe. This oversized gem from DISSH takes the cake when it comes to woolly, cuddly goodness. If you like your coats looong, this is the one for you.
