The Best Outerwear Styles This Fall/Winter 2017 Season

While places like the U.S. East Coast are currently experiencing an abnormally warm winter, other regions around the globe are already well within the deep chills of the cooler months. To combat the varying weather patterns thrown by mother nature, one should already be prepared with a complete arsenal of outerwear styles. If you need to go down the checklist, make sure you have at least the basics — overcoats, trenchcoats, down jackets and leather jackets.

Ideally, durable lightweight fabrics should be taken into consideration for windy conditions while water-repellent materials are a no-brainer when the rain starts to fall. Down-filled shells and GORE-TEX are always prime options when temps get near the freezing point. Also, always make sure you have a few proper selections in your lineup for when you need a more sophisticated look. Check out some of our choices below from brands like The North Face, Stone Island, and Raf Simons and sound off in the comments on which labels and silhouettes have been your go-to for the past few winters.
