Winter is approaching, whether we like it or not. That implies it's time to wrap up warm for brisk mornings, chilly evenings, and chilly nights. We've identified a few labels whose coats you'll reach for time and again this season. They are eco-friendly and ethically sourced, employ sustainable and ethical methods, and many of them give back to their local communities.

We have something for everyone, whether you're a Seattleite who needs to stay dry, a city gal in NYC looking to shield yourself from windy mornings, or someone in between want to layer on extra. While you're about it, why not wear these with some boots, gloves, and sweaters manufactured ethically?

Ideal For: Trenches Price Range: $168–$1595 Size Range: XS–XL; up to US 24


Reformation has chosen to utilize only sustainable and natural textiles for its stylish clothing since it is aware of the negative consequences that the textile and apparel industries may have. Whether it's a blazer, trench coat, or denim jacket, the outerwear is ideal for after-work events and daily on-the-go wear. Ref also keeps track of each piece's environmental impact, allowing you to see the amount of garbage and water that was avoided along the route.

As expected, the Nano Puff performs well in terms of warmth and quality after being used by our editors for camping and trekking in alpine environments.
