The Coat: Uniqlo Seamless Down Parka ($130, originally $150)
The Specs: Made with a durable, water-repellent coating, this parka is both lightweight and wind proof. Its contoured cut is stylish, and it has a drawstring at the bottom, so you can adjust it and keep the warmth in. The fleece-lined pockets in the front are warm for your hands, and it has a convenient pocket on the inside of the jacket with a zip closure. The hood is not removable, but it's comfy and lightweight.
Why I Love It: While I was on the lookout for something on the longer side, I wanted at least one short option for the days it wasn't freezing. This parka was the perfect option, because it's cute, and most of all, affordable. While I don't opt for this one on the coldest days, it's perfect for throwing on with jeans and sneakers when it's what I like to call only "medium cold." I love that is offers me the right amount of warmth, but it's not too thick or bulky feeling. Plus, the purple shade is just really fun.
Who It's Good For: If you don't live in an entirely freezing climate, and you're looking for something short and affordable, this is your match.
