I Set the Nordstrom Search Price Limit at $400 for a Winter Coat and Found These Gems for Trips to Vail and London

In the upcoming winter months, I have a few trips planned: a quick family visit to England and a skiing trip in Vail. With cold-weather travels in mind, I know I need to get my wardrobe into gear, starting with a good coat or two. I live in L.A., so heavy coats are not exactly part of my year-round repertoire, and I'm definitely lacking in this department. I'm mostly looking for a few toppers that will not only keep me warm but are also fashion-forward and elevated and, most importantly, fall within my budget of $400.

I made a beeline to trusty Nordstrom, and after combing through pages of outerwear, I found some real gems that fit the bill perfectly. I'm sharing my favorite finds with you below. Included is a variety of styles and silhouettes. Whether you're looking for of-the-moment faux fur, a chic puffer, or a sophisticated wool coat, there's something for every occasion and taste. Keep scrolling to find an under-$400 coat to keep you looking chic and warm this winter.
