“Winter Jackets is one basic necessity you cannot live without in Toronto”
Whatever you think about winter jackets, there are a few objective facts about them. They keep you warm, they’re fashionable, and they’re ubiquitous. However, the nearly four-figure price tag will make you think twice. If an almost $1,000 winter jacket is out of your price range, don’t fret anymore. I have got you covered! Several brands offer identical jackets and parkas at more affordable prices.
H&M
H&M is a trustworthy, low-cost, one-stop-shop for almost all our wardrobe needs, including seasonal outerwear and winter jackets. Hence, if you’re on a budget, H&M is a fantastic place to go when the temperature drops below zero, and you need to defend yourself from the harsh, brutal Canadian winter.
Sport Chek
All sportswear and outerwear equipment can be found at Sport Chek. Columbia, Burton, Under Armour, and more well-known brands are available at the store. Hence you have a large selection of options to choose from.
Garage
Another economical option for women’s clothing is Garage. This Montreal-based retailer has several jackets under $150. The Garage is an underappreciated area for coats that will keep you toasty during the autumn months. Furthermore, they even have Sherpa fleece aviator jackets to keep you warm and fashionable.

Not everything is cheap, but you can get significantly discounted designer coats if you’re lucky and come here frequently enough.
