I'm soon moving to Nebraska. It's going to be *so* cold and I need a *serious* winter coat ...?

Question

I would like something that is exceedingly warm --- this is not a coat for show. It is *freezing* there in the winter! However, I would like something that is cute since I'm going to have to wear it daily for several months a year!

I want something that looks fitted and feminine (definitely something that comes in at the waist) but is incredibly warm. I don't mind puffy coats, in fact, I like puffy coats.

I am *really* tiny. 5'7 and a size 00 or 0. Anyone have any recommendations on something that's stylish, fitted, and as warm as an anorak or parka?

Thanks! :)

Answer 1

Yeah, I am living in Nebraska now, and it is crazy cold! Anyway, I got my coat from LL Bean. It is the warmest parka ever. Goose down. Or, you can always get a coat when you get here. There is an Urban Outfitters in Omaha, which will sell a little more expensive, but fashionable coats. Then there is also Scheel's which will sell expensive good looking coats as well. And, of course the cheaper retail stores.

But, I would certainly recommend LL Bean. I have had mine here in Nebraska for about 5 years, and have never once been cold in it including those few mornings when it is 10 or more below zero and the dog needs a walk.

Answer 2

Call information, get the number of LL Bean or their website . You can order a very warm coat through their catalog. When you arrive in Nebraska they have consignment shops, you might find another warm coat for less money too.

Answer 3

I stay in Michigan and it truly is about 37 degrees right here on the instantaneous. So, definite, I placed on a wintry climate coat now -- a minimum of contained in the nighttime and nighttime. I basically wore a mild jacket this afternoon even as the sunlight changed into out and it changed into round fifty 2 or so.

Answer 4

Land's End Also has good winter coats (landsend.com). But everyone who said LL Bean is dead on! I used to live in northwestern Maine where we had temps sometimes -20 F or so (not including "wind chill"...) and there's nothing like Bean clothes to keep you warm. Check out their boots too!

Answer 5

One with goose downs or a parka. They may be ugly but it's better to be ugly than cold!

Is Nebraska cold? It's a ways south of me! Enjoy the cows and corn!

Answer 6

Hey, our last snow is already melted away (Omaha). It's above 40 during the day now, and will be for another couple days. I throw on my windbreaker when it hits 20 going down. Geez, I almost felt bad for ya reading your question ;)

Talk to ya later!
Have a great night!

Answer 7

Wear what you have been wearing cause when you get used to it you will not need much as you think k! Just wear a extra pair of socks and gloves k! I really don't think that it is a difference in Nebrask than any where else in the states unless u are moving from Arizona k? Or Mexico.
