When you're on the hunt for winter coats, the brand that always seems to come to mind--and to your winter weather rescue has definitely got some of the coolest looks for keeping your warm. North Face jackets are known for their reliability, functionality, and warmth, but what about their style? Which option is best for your personal style? With so many options around, it can definitely be difficult to pick the perfect North Face jacket. Look no farther! We've gathered an eclectic handful of the absolute best from this true workhorse brand name. So, don't dive into the North Face pool without first reading this quick guide for just about anyone's favorite style.
For those of you who love city chic without feeling too buttoned up, The North Face's 'Chloe Jacket' may just be the winter coat you've been dreaming about! Boasting a classic pea coat shape, we love the modern twist they take, by keeping things cool in polyester instead of stuffy wool. The double-breasted style keeps things classic, while cool quilt-inspired detailing makes for a unique, yet versatile style. Plus, since this puppy's lined with PrimaLoft insulation, you'll definitely keep warm without the bulk you might get from a down jacket.

We love this cool casual blend, which is totally topped off with a slight sheen that gives the coat a hint of Ed Hardy style without going overboard. (And, with a lifetime warranty, your really can't go wrong, can you?) Available in black and chocolate brown, couple this coat with your favorite pair of boot cut jeans and Ugg boots, or slip on your cutest pair of black skinny pants and metallic flats for a look that warms your heart--both physically and fashionably!
Now that we've checked out a new take on a classic shape, we're taking things away from the pea coat look, and over to the puffy jacket done right, it's time to look into The North Face's 'Whitby Jacket.' This cool coat boasts a feminine, extra thick cinch at the waist, over sized double breasted buttons, and detachable hood, while still retaining 'Heatseeker' eco-insulation for a slight nod to the classic puffy coat look. Plus, its adjustable hem system and invisible zip cuffs will definitely keep you cute and cozy. We love this look with wide leg jeans and clogs, or straight leg jeans with moccasins. You'll definitely be keeping warm in style with this truly cool coat.
If pea coats and puffers aren't really tour thing, not to worry! The North Face's 'Apex Bionic Jacket' is one of the sleekest (yet, truly warm) options we've ever seen. Constructed of the seriously strong, yet streamlined Apex fabric, this North Face jacket echoes the shape of the ever-so-popular fleece. Both wind and water resistant, this waist-length jacket will keep you warm without bulking you up. Plus, its slight collar can zip up for a little extra warmth around your neck without getting in the way. Available in just about every color--from pink to orange, sky blue to lime green, this slim coat definitely offers a little something for everyone. Pair this fabulous choice with black leggings and fun winter boots, and you'll definitely be set for just about any kind of weather that comes your way.
