When shopping for a new winter coat, the “must-haves” are many. It needs to be warm but not overwhelmingly bulky. If you’re making a major investment, it needs to be versatile enough for various cold-weather activities but also cute. The dream coat will also be on-trend but also of enduring style. And if it comes in under $200, that would be ideal.

Well, we have news: We found it. Right now, this Sam Edelman faux fur trim down parka is on sale for $194 (down 25% from $260!). Apart from being chic to look at, let’s delve into the details of what actually makes it a good purchase, shall we?

The deets:

  • It features a front zip closure with a snap placket along with zip and welt pockets and a split, drop-tail hem.
  • The adjustable toggle hood comes with removable 100% acrylic faux fur trim.
  • It’s lined with 50% down and 50% feather fill, guaranteed to keep you snug as a bug.
  • The long sleeves are finished with inset rib-knit cuffs.
  • And it has a polyester shell and lining.

This coat comes in a variety of colors, and while basic black is never a wrong move, there’s something compelling about the other colorways, which include burgundy, light blue, navy, white, grey, or mustard. We’re particularly fond of the “loden” shade, at first suspecting it was a made up word before googling to discover that it’s actually the moniker for a kind of military issue olive. (The more you know, right?)
