The Coolest Women's Coats and Jackets

The coolest ladies coats and jackets serve two purposes: They keep you warm and protect you from the elements, but they also make you look fashionable and stylish. Coats can be some of the priciest items in a wardrobe, but if you buy a good woman's coat or jacket, it should last you for years. This list of the coolest ladies coats and jackets includes a variety of different styles: trench coats, wool coats, down jackets and a hot new trend - capes. The list is CrowdRanked, so you can (and should) create your own personalized list as well. Your rankings will affect the overall rankings on this page! So pick your favorites and add some of your own too.

For warmth and style, a 100-percent wool coat is the ideal way to go. Nylon blends are also a plus, as they tend to be strong and long-wearing. To look polished on dreary, rainy days, a good trench coat is a must. Some trenches even feature removable linings, allowing you to wear them on warmer spring days as well.

I've tried to include a range of styles and prices for this list, because not all of us can afford to drop $2000 for a woman's designer coat! You don't have to. You can find some great styles for much, much less.
