I've been on the market for a solid winter coat this whole season. I was debating buying a higher end brand but it was really tough for me to justify shelling out ~$1k for a winter coat. I saw this coat on the Aritzia website and honestly I was a bit skeptical - a $400 coat that can withstand the East Coast winter? Just didn't seem to line up. Nevertheless, I got the coat, and I have to say - it's truly fantastic. I've worn it when it was 15 degrees outside and granted, I do wear layers underneath but the collar and the length really does keep you warm. I'm 5'6ish and the coat is more of a midi length which is great on super windy days. I love the high neck collar because that also retains heat. I've gotten plenty of compliments while wearing this so I'm happy with my purchase, especially given the price point. The only thing I can see as being potentially problematic is that the button loopholes might get loose with time - the lowest button comes undone fairly easily but I woudn't say that's a huge issue. I'll say that if you live in a country where it gets seriously cold like Scandinavia or Canada, maybe you need a better puffer coat but for someone who lives in NYC, this works just fine in the coldest days, especially with layering underneath. Solid value, with style points!Aritzia,M,$398,5'5-5'6 5'5-5'6,Coat,Coats/Jackets,Size M All Reviews,Aritzia
