As the days grow increasingly more frigid and the drop in degrees becomes more and more of a reality, our attempts to don lighter jackets become more and more obsolete. It's time to face it: the bone-chilling temperatures of winter are here, and it's important to get prepared now by filling out any gaps in your cold-weather wardrobe. While properly fitting plus-size tights, layer-friendly sweater vests, and a good pair of jeans are all important, we must not forget the most important defense against those cold temps: the coat. Finding the perfect coat can often feel limiting for a plus-size shopper, so shopping online is often the answer to finding the best and widest range of plus-size coats you'll actually want to wear.

The days of limited stylish, plus-size outerwear are no more. Protection from the frosty is possible without donning that dingy, depressing coat that brings no joy. Whether you're in need of a stylish trench, wool-blended winter warrior, or a versatile puffer, finding the proper (and attractive) coat to stand up to the fierce dip in temperature is imperative. Click ahead for 13 plus-size coats that'll better equip you to accept your wintry fate.
