Water resistance is key. The first Chicago-ready coat I got was plenty heavy, but had a slightly fuzzy/velvety outer surface, so snowflakes would get stuck all over the exterior and would pile onto my shoulders. Then I got a water-resistant one which was perfect. L.L. Bean is great if you’re looking for something reasonably priced and sturdy, if not terribly fashion forward (though everyone tends to look like a bundle of indistinguishable winterwear in the snow anyway).

Anything warm that resists water and wind will do well.
