Living in Minnesota has always meant cold winters, but I’m not subjecting myself to living in down jackets all year round. I like to mix a few classic jacket styles into my winter outfits. Today I’m sharing three beautiful jackets that are in heavy rotation in my wardrobe this winter.
3 of the best winter jackets I’m wearing this season
- Long wool coat: An absolute necessity here in the North. THE Tom coat de Sézane is my go-to for the coldest days. It’s made from a thick, windproof and water-resistant wool blend. I love its oversized cut, which I can layer over thick sweaters. It’s also perfect for layering over dresses, skirts or pants. The coat has a classic, timeless design that will never go out of style. It’s a forever piece.
- Blazer: THE Romanian jacket de Sézane is a great way to add a touch of refinement to a casual outfit. I love wearing mine over everything from dresses and skirts to jeans and wide leg pants. The jacket is made from a lightweight, structured fabric and features a flattering, feminine cut that’s perfect for all body shapes. You can easily layer an overcoat over this style for added warmth.
- Light wool jacket: THE Nelson Jacket is a lightweight, essential wool option for “cool” days. This jacket breathes new life into your classic silhouettes. It’s perfect for throwing on some cute sweatshirts when I need to run errands during the winter. The jacket is made of a soft and breathable wool fabric, comfortable to wear all day. Its relaxed, oversized fit is perfect for layering. This style works with an oversized puffer jacket on top for extra cold days. *This jacket is not shown below, but you can see it in action here Instagram Reel!
If you want to vary the styles with your outerwear this winter, Sézane offers pieces with timeless cuts and quality materials that will stand the test of time (and cold) year after year. And don’t skip out on the hat and scarf! I like this hat And this scarf and I wear them repeatedly.

Style Tips for Winter Jackets
- Overlap: The key to staying warm in a winter jacket is to layer underneath. Start the layering process with a thin base layer, such as a long-sleeve top or turtleneck. Next, add a thicker layer, like a sweater or sweatshirt. Finally, add your jacket on top.
- Accessorize: A scarf, hatand gloves are essential accessories for a winter look. Choose a scarf large enough to wrap around your neck twice and a hat that will keep your head warm. Make sure to include gloves in your daily routine, especially if you spend time outdoors.
- Choose the right cut: When it comes to winter jackets, it’s important to choose the right fit. A jacket that is too big will be bulky and unflattering, while one that is too small will be uncomfortable. Aim for a relaxed fit that will allow you to move freely.
With a little planning, you can create stylish and comfortable winter looks that will keep you warm all season long. Check The Sézane site to get your hands on these wardrobe items and explore their other great pieces.
