Whether you're out and about, battling a Nor'easter, or it simply feels a little too much like the North Pole, it's time to break out a North Face coat. On trend and definitely on par with the weather; you'll keep warm in true style with this fabulous winter wear brand. While we all know North Face's fleeces, it's time to check out their top notch line of coats. Did you know North Face coats consist of everything from a trench to a bomber-inspired puffy jacket? Don't count this brand out when it comes to winter coats; they've got a little something for everyone, and we've lined up some of the best of the best, so you can take the cream of the crop from this cold weather winner.
Talk about a seriously warm, yet classy choice: The North Face's 'Kelly Trench Coat' strikes the perfect balance between city chic and winter warmth. Boasting the classic trench shape with a sensible hood this fabulous coat lands just at the lower calf for the ultimate protection during winter storms. Plus, with two patch pockets just below your natural waist, and a thick cinch tie, you'll definitely still feel feminine while still staying cozy and dry. Made of HyVent 2L texture you not only get waterproof fabric but you definitely won't have to bare winter winds. We love that the function (and fashion) forward hood is removable, and that the center front zipper also has button closures all the way down. This neutral, all-around winner pairs perfectly with galoshes or brown boots. Who knew staying warm could like quite this cool?

For those of you who can appreciate their trench, but are on the hunt for something slightly more along the lines of a classic North Face coat, their 'Sportimus Jacket' is the ultimate in winter wear for the outdoors man who transitions to the city--this is the coat you can take pretty much anywhere! Originally constructed for snowboarders, this option is seriously wind resistant, ultra breathable, and supremely sleek. This waist length jacket bodes a full fixed hood, hand warmer zipper pockets, an adjustable hem system, and Gore Windstopper technology for the ultimate in warmth, while still retaining a sleek design. This cool cold weather option pairs perfectly with your favorite pair of bootcut jeans and converse shoes. (Or, for those who tend to dress up slightly more for the office--this puppy pairs well with khakis or black slacks, as well.)
Now that we've covered city chic, and fashion forward functional, the North Face has done well with fun and funky when it comes to their 'Kizamm Jacket.' This bold, fun jacket boasts three color blocks (in lime green, purple, and turquoise) that run horizontally along the coat. We not only love the bold color choice, but The North Face has gone all out with its slightly diagonal zipper down the front, and small, breast pocket funky zipper. Once again, we love the flexibility of a removable hood, and hand warmer zipper pockets are definitely never a bad touch when it comes to true winter weather. Whether you're out hitting the slopes, or you want to take on the town with a little funk, this North Face coat will definitely turn heads wherever you go. We love this look with skinny jeans and high top sneakers. Not for the faint of heart, this jacket packs a punch that may just tickle your fancy!
