These Jackets Actually Have Me Excited for Winter

Sure, winter can be a slog—short days, grey skies, icy wind that tickles the very marrow of your bones—but it’s also a great time to get dressed!

The cozy sweaters! The thick socks! Don’t even get me started on mittens…too late: I love them!

The best part of the cold weather season? Treating yourself to a new warm coat.

Shopping for a winter jacket is like snagging a lollipop at the bank.

Did you want to go to the bank? No, but that birthday check from your aunt isn’t going to cash itself. And at least now you’re sucking on a tasty fruit punch Dum-Dum.

Similarly, you also probably aren’t super jazzed about digging your car out from under two feet of snow on a random Tuesday in January, but it’s gonna happen, so you might as well make the best of it.

Meaning? Take this time before you need that jacket to find one you really love.

Start by perusing these cold weather offerings from lululemon, hand-picked by Team SG.

These jackets will actually have you feeling (dare I say it) excited for cold weather.

And, hey, if you put on holiday music on while you shop to get into the winter spirit? Well, I won’t tell anyone…

The best stylish and warm winter coats to shop now:

Winter dressing is all about threading the needle of staying warm without walking out the door in the morning looking like the Michelin Man. Yes, it can be done.

Lululemon’s “Always Down” puffer jacket (lol at the name, love it) in its tech canvas material blends the performance you need from a warm men’s coat with streamlined street style.

Here it’s styled with casual sweats, but don’t be afraid to throw this thing on over a blazer and jeans, or even a suit when the weather really gets whipping.

A good winter jacket isn’t just a practicality—it’s the centerpiece of your cold-weather wardrobe. That’s why it can easily become your signature for the season. The right coat takes the sting out of early commutes and end-of-day errands when you really wish you were still in bed, turning the act of bundling up into an opportunity to show off your style chops.

And honestly, there’s nothing quite as satisfying as getting that first compliment on your new outerwear, especially when you’ve taken the time to find something that feels thoroughly you.

Everything in balance!

Lightweight insulation makes this quilted jacket the perfect not-too-hot, not-too-heavy layer for a winter on the warmer side.

Do I love this insulated jacket because the model looks like Josh O’Connor from Challengers?

Not no.

But just like that movie’s underrated soundtrack, we should linger on it awhile longer.

There’s something about that first real chill in the air that makes even the most summer-loving man start dreaming about outerwear.

And when you picture it? I bet it looks an awful lot like this puffer.
