6 Lightweight Coats If You’re Experiencing an Unusually Warm Winter
Weird. It's January, but there's no snow on the ground. Come to think of it—it was nearly 60° in many places on Christmas. How are we supposed to make the most of our winter wardrobe when there is no winter weather?
We cannot be the only ones experiencing an unusually warm season. Hopefully, unlike us, you didn't buy a bulky coat to prepare for the icy temperatures. Now, we are forced to do some last-minute shopping for a lightweight jacket to avoid sweating under thousands of down feathers.
If you found yourself in the same conundrum this year, keep scrolling. We have six breezy jackets to take the edge off the lukewarm temperatures.
Old Navy Quilted Puffer Jacket: On Sale for $29.99
Don't be fooled. Even though this Old Navy jacket is a puffer, it's not heavy. We purchased one of these and often use it on the late fall days when the temperature gets cooler. Still, we find ourselves a little chilly. This coat is perfect for anyone who wants to feel like they're living in truly freezing weather because of its chunky fit. And they have a gorgeous hot pink shade to continue the Barbie-esque festivities.

Fabletics Perfect Storm Train Jacket: $69.95
Here's a pro tip: buy athletic jackets meant for the cold, such as this one from Fabletics. Brands manufacture these jackets to be as thin as possible to allow you to make the most of your workout. No more restricting movements because of thick padding. At the same time, they insulate them enough to keep you cozy without drenching yourself in sweat. Turns out, it is very effective for casual wear during warm winters.

Levi's Original Sherpa Trucker Jacket: $108
Ah, yes. The iconic Levi's sherpa jacket. We remember these being extremely popular a few years ago. Can we please bring them back? They are stellar for shifting seasons.
Typically, a standard denim jacket wouldn't be enough to combat the crisp air. When you add the fuzzy fur, it turns into the ultimate late-night, cool-weather jacket. Plus, we think the texture of the sherpa adds so much character to its design.

The North Face Osito Lux Jacket: $130
Another cherished jacket: The North Face Osito. These were all the rage during our middle and high school days. It's sad that they became less popular because they always made us feel surprisingly comfortable. The fur was surprisingly soft, and it always felt like we had a blanket wrapped around our bodies. Don't even get us started on the endless colors they offer!

Abercrombie & Fitch Wool-Blend Tailored Topcoat: On Sale for $154
Abercrombie & Fitch has been making the comeback of the century. We would have never predicted we'd wear the same brands we wore almost a decade ago. Rather than stereotypically preppy wear, they've shifted their image to classy and elegant—can't you tell from this beautiful wool topcoat? It's classified as "midweight," which means it's great for cold (not below zero).
