WINTER JACKET OR LONG COAT: WHICH IS RIGHT FOR YOU?
While
winter jackets typically hit at the hip, stylish winter coats are longer, like the knee-length styles that you can buy here. When the coldness of deep winter kicks in, a
knee-length puffer coat is better than a
hip-length jacket because of the warmth factor. The longer length provides extra coverage for heat retention. If you're shopping for women's winter coats and wondering if a parka-length will inhibit movement, many of our knee-length puffers come with side vents that can be opened or closed with zippers or buttons. This design feature allows room to move your legs while still keeping warm.
Consider Local Temps When Choosing a Winter Coat
When preparing to
buy women's outerwear for winter, consider the temperatures in the places you might be wearing a knee-length coat. At what temperature does a long winter coat become necessary? In destinations with mild climates, a light or mid-weight coat might be perfectly suitable for an enjoyable day outdoors. But in a city, town or countryside with frequent sub-freezing temperatures, staying warm in the
proper outerwear is of utmost importance. Our long stylish puffers are perfect winter wear pieces because Ecoplume™ insulation provides superior warmth, and the long parka length keeps that heat in.

Long Coats: Modern-Retro or Out of Date?
Have long coats gone out of fashion for everyday use? Not even a little. The truth is, fashionable parka-length coats will always be in style as long as we have snow, wind, and icy winter storms in which to wear them. The key is to invest in tasteful outerwear that will keep you warm through the worst that mother nature throws your way.
How to Buy a Coat: Tight, Loose, Length?
Should women's winter coats be tight or loose? Should your coat be longer than your dress? How to style your long winter coat must also be considered when buying a parka-length puffer. In order for the longer length not to be too cumbersome or awkward, many of our Bernardo long puffer coats have an oversized fit so you have room to move and layer underneath. Zipper side vents enhance this movability feature. The ideal length of a long winter coat when worn with a dress is to have the coat hemline hit below the dress. The only time a dress or maxi skirt should show under your outerwear is if you are wearing a shorter winter jacket. They should not show beneath your long winter coat.
