Winter will be here before you know it, and with it, freezing temperatures and blustery winds, depending on where you live. While being prepared for winter weather is always important, it's even more so this year with experts predicting it could be colder and snowier than normal. Yikes. Even if you already have a winter coat, now is the perfect time to clear out your closet and upgrade your outerwear before the cold hits.

To help you stay warm running errands and walking outdoors through the upcoming months, we've rounded up 10 of the top-rated and most popular winter coats for both men and women below. From the trendy Amazon coat to the coveted Canada Goose jacket, these are the coats and parkas to buy now before it's too late and they're sold out or on backorder.

Amazon Orolay Coat.

If you haven't jumped on the #AmazonCoat bandwagon yet, now may be the perfect time. It's garnered quite the cult following over the years with 12,000 reviews and 4.4-star rating and is a favorite among style influencers on social media. I bought one for myself last year and now understand all the hype. Not only is it very affordable compared to other winter coats (it's less than $150), but it's also incredibly warm and has plenty of pockets for holding all the essentials when I'm out and about.
