Cranberry Hooded Jacket

Plus size winter coats from Penningtons.

Penningtons has a coat sale on at the moment (25% off) and I am quite attracted to this cranberry hooded jacket with the faux fur trim. I love the color but if you are not fond of red there are a few left in black.

Red winter coat with faux fur lining hood.

Unlike many winter coats I have seen this season it does have inner cuffs so the wind doesn’t blow up the arms. It also has a cinch at the waist to keep it from blowing up the backside. They currently have sizes available from x to 5x which is an amazing size range — so nice to see coats being made in the larger sizes.

Coats from the US

Plus size fashion coats from City Chic Online.

The U.S. shares a lot of our weather and the shipping times are reasonably quick. Bear in mind that some shops may charge more for shipping because of the weight for plus size outerwear while others do not. Here are a few of my picks from shops in the U.S.:

From City Chic Online

There is not a huge selection at City Chic Online when it comes to plus size coats but what they have is cute. At the moment they offer sizes 14 to 24. These are three of my favorites:

The low prices above are reflective of their current coat sale.

From Junonia

For the more active there is Junonia which has prided themselves on providing functional wear to plus size women for the last decade. If you are looking for waterproof outdoor clothing, even ski pants this is the place. They offer their plus size outerwear in sizes 1x to 6x. Here are three of my favorites:

  • Snow Bunny Anorak Ski Jacket, $190
  • Alpine Ski Pant, $150
  • Solid 3 in 1 Alpine Ski Jacket, $199

Their cold weather selections may not be huge but if you participate in any outdoor activity and do not fall into the standard plus sizes this is the place to go.

From Ulla Popken

The selection at Ulla Popken is small but there are not many places where you can find a long plus size wool coat in sizes 12 to 38. Here are a three of my favorites:

From top left:

  • Princess Seam Long Coat, $179
  • Ultimate Dress Coat, $189

They tend to have their stock available longer than other shops so if you find an article of clothing you like chances are you will find it again so you can order more.

Canadian Outerwear

If you live in the Vancouver, BC area you have the option of visiting Babs Studio Boutique. Occasionally they get to Toronto to participate in hand-craft shows; unfortunately, there is no option to shop online. But if you fall in love with something on their website it wouldn’t hurt to email them to find out if they would accommodate you shipments. At the very least, sign up for their newsletter to keep abreast of events. They are one of the few stores that caters to sizes 2 to 26. It is a small boutique with a nice offering of clothing including these original coats from their 2010/11 Fall/Winter collection. I especially love the lavender waterproof linen coat and the sky blue raincoat.

Eye Spy Wool Coat

Plus Size Camel Coat

Monif C is expanding beyond the sexy convertible dress and swimsuits to include one of my favorite outerwear options for this coming season — The Eye Spy Wool coat in camel. My only disappointment is that it is only available in sizes 1x and 2x. This is such a unique looking style for plus size outerwear. A lot of the options I’ve been seeing, especially locally are pretty boring. It’s fashionable (wings) and functional (belt and cuffs to keep the chill out). The coat is on pre-order for shipment October 15th.

Outerwear Where?

Plus Size Plaid Suka Winter Coat

In some parts of Canada, like say Eastern Ontario, it is still winter. I woke up to 10cm of freshly fallen snow. That isn’t a complaint. I’ve been waiting for the real white stuff for months. Better now then say, April? Plus Size Plaid Suka Winter Coat

If you are still looking for plus size outerwear for the remaining months of the season (if you are in B.C. I really don’t want to hear about what you’re wearing), Maximum Woman has some great prices at their site. Like this Suka belted wool coat for $59.99 (reg. $150). They currently have sizes 1x and 3x in this style. There a few other nice styles in sizes 1x and 2x.

In the mean time, keep warm spring will be here before you know it!

The Classic Peacoat

Plus Size Wool Peacoat in Black

Yes, it is still winter in most parts of Canada. While we can dream of warmer days the truth is spring is still far off for most of us. The good news is there is still time to take advantage of winter outwear sales. Plus Size Wool Peacoat in Black

One of my favorite styles for coats is the military peacoat. It has made a huge fashion trend this winter and thankfully it is not a style that goes out of style quickly.

Swak Designs has this classic black peacoat in 100% wool on sale for $74.99 US. It is available in sizes 1x to 4x. Swak offers free shipping to Canadians for purchases $40 and over.

Red Down Jacket

WindRiver-Down-Jacket-Plus-Size

For cold weather warmth I immediately think down. Unfortunately, if not styled right it can come off looking unshapely or puffy. Mark’s Work Wearhouse carries a small selection of plus sizes up to 2x, including this Women’s Wind River Down Jacket.

This short jacket is filled with 90% down and 10% feathers. It is available in the fall red shown (favorite) or black, blue, and lavendula. It will be on sale until December 23, 2009 for $54.99 (regular $109.99). Don’t forget to look at their hat, mitt, and scarf accessories while you are there.
