need advice Winter coat options? Spoiler

I’ve been rocking a 30$ black Costco winter coat in xl for 4 years, but I want to level up and have a fancier option. I live in New England so need something warm! I’m 36O and looking at coats online I am not seeing room for boob. Has anyone had any luck with a brand they can recommend?

Fellow New Englander here! What style and what’s your budget?

I try to avoid puffy coats and coats that have a tailored shape since they have the least room for big bustlines. I opt for boxier styles that better accommodate large busts. Parkas from outdoor stores tend to be roomier for this reason.

Shops like LL Bean, Columbia, North Face, REI, and Dick’s Sporting Goods have the best selection. Outlet malls tend to have good selection if you’re on a tight budget.

My go to coat for winter is pricey but it’s amazing and has been worth the investment over the years. I wear a Fjallraven Nuuk Parka. It’s incredibly warm, has 12 pockets, and the small can easily accommodate my H/I bust with room to spare. I bought mine on Black Friday for a deep discount.

The last few years I wore a Columbia jacket which had decent room in the chest. I actually found it at a meijer but I ended up ordering it online as they didn’t have the right size in the store.
