24 winter coats under $150 to buy before they sell out - CNN

(CNN) —

Of all the winter items you might invest in, a coat is probably the one piece that’ll get the most use. Not only should the right outerwear be warm, versatile and have day-to-day wearability, it should also add to your outfit — not just cover it up.

“Outerwear is an important part of someone’s winter wardrobe,” says Los Angeles-based stylist Alyssa Sutter, whose clients include Lucy Hale and brands like Velvet Canyon and Wolf Circus. “Regardless of where you live — yes, even in LA — investing in outerwear is a must. A jacket or coat can be the missing key to polishing off your winter look.”

And even though your coat should carry you from year to year, that doesn’t mean you have to buy the first black puffer you find. Just like any other fashion category, outerwear is subject to the trend cycle too — although it’s a little slower than more of-the-moment items like shoes or bags.

Even better: You don’t have to spend a ton to get the look. Ahead, find the most adorable affordable winter coats — we’re talking under-$150 affordable — that’ll last for seasons to come.
