Winter is my least favorite season for many reasons: Freezing temps, shorter days, and feeling tired more often, just to name a few. But besides all of that, the one thing that gets me the most is the layering (too many layers can start to feel constricting). Wintry weather calls for thermals, sweaters, wool socks, and a poofy coat. But if there's anything I've learned over the years when I lived in the coldest regions in the U.S.—specifically Chicago, Wisconsin, and Boston—it's time to ditch the personal bag for the best winter coats with deep pockets.
Not only are winter coats with deeper pockets just as warm as regular puffer coats, they offer more than enough space to store your essentials (think: phone, keys, credit cards, lip balm, hand sanitizer, and more). For example, this L.L. Bean one has snap closure pockets deep enough to store a wallet, phone, keys, and more. To make winter a little more cozy, we scoured the internet for warm and cozy jackets with cosmic pockets that'll get you from point A to point B without a bag.
