The top 5 cute coats to keep you freezing all winter long

With the approach of winter comes the most exciting change of wardrobe! CBC is here to help you find the cutest coats that will do absolutely nothing to help you combat the cold weather – but gosh darn you'll look ah-ma-zing. Like Michelle Obama was misquoted as saying, when those temps go low, make your fashion choices go high!

1. The trench coat

The tan-coloured, lack-of-any-protection-from-the-elements-classic. The trench coat is a fashion staple that looks good on all ages, shapes and sizes. Plus, it looks like it for sure has the ability to keep you dry when it rains. But guess what? It will not. In fact, once you get wet, the trench has the unique ability to lock in the moisture. But the belt will definitely define your waist! And if a woman doesn't define her waist at all times, how will the world know she has a waist? How!?

2. The wool coat

With its sleek cut and cozy look, a wool coat seems like it's the perfect answer to staying attractive while keeping warm. But if this coat were a pop-quiz you just got a D, because that's only fifty percent true. Yes, you will look like an elegant woman striding down the street in wool, but wool has a way of being completely not water-proof and absorbing every little snowflake, creating a bone-chilling, damp-swamp of a coat. But hey, the coat makes you feel elegant, and when in your life has anyone called you elegant? It's the best you can do. Take it.

3. The toggle-button coat

Nothing's cuter than a coat with a built in accessory – the toggle button. And sure, those buttons may do that thing where they allow the wind to blow into your coat so intensely that you feel like a frigid inflatable parade float, but also, you look just like Paddington Bear. And like the 2014 movie Paddington suggests, Paddington Bear is sexy!

4. The bomber jacket

Trend alert! All the hip ladies are bringing this '90s staple into the 2017 winter season. And you'll look exactly as "solid" as you feel, because this coat sits just above the waist, instantly encasing your butt in a block of ice. But no worries because you will look so cool wearing it. Literally the coolest. Pneumonia-cool.

5. The leather jacket

Leather is made from cows and cows live outside, therefore this coat will totally keep you warm. You should firmly hold onto that logic while shivering to death and wishing you had spent that $800 on a parka instead.
