Toronto, we’ve been greeted with our freezing rain storm of the season. If that isn’t a memo to have some winter boots on standby, we don’t know what is! Although winter doesn’t technically start until later in December, we tend to get an early glimpse here. We can probably all relate to the dread of putting away our chic fall boots for winter ones, as the practical nature of a winter boot can make them well… not so cute. But thankfully, that doesn’t always have to be the case! If you know where to look, you can find winter boots that are both practical and cute, allowing you to strut through the streets of Toronto, even during a blizzard, without sacrificing your style.
These boots are equally cute and practical!

As we make our way into colder days, you’re going to want to bundle up. Toronto winters can be brutal, so it’s better to be prepared in advance and say hello to big, downy parkas. If your hunt for the perfect winter jacket has just begun, this is the perfect starting point for you. We know winter coats don’t always come cheap so if this is the year you’re looking for a new one, we have you covered.
Take a look at our list of 15 of the best places to buy winter jacket in the GTA and don’t worry — you can thank us later when you’re not freezing your butt off!
MEC Toronto
MEC Is known for making some of the best outdoor gear on the market. With friendly and knowledgeable staff, this is a great place to get your hands on a durable and practical winter jacket that will last you a few years at the least.
Sporting Life
Sporting Life is a mecca for all things snow related. The store’s winter coat selection is one of the best in the city, and it carries everything from high-end technical ski wear, to fashion-forward outwear that will make even the most seasoned fashionistas jealous. Sporting Life currently holds one of the largest Canada Goose collections and caters to the refined shopper who doesn’t mind shelling out several hundreds of dollars for a high-quality coat. What’s awesome about Sporting Life is that you can regularly find great winter jackets on sale that will help save you some coin.
L.L. Bean
A true destination for anyone obsessed with being outside, L.L. Bean is filled with everything you’ll need to stay warm while outdoors. In addition to all the cozy sweaters, boots, and flannel that the retailer is famous for, don’t forget to check out its well made winter coats, too. We couldn’t be more excited that the brand now has a location in Canada that’s situated at Oakville Place.
Aritzia
If there’s something Canadian retailer, Aritzia knows, it’s winter and the retailer has definitely upped its parka game within the last few years. Most of the parkas and coats you’ll find at Aritzia are from its house brands such as Golden by TNA, TNA, Community, and Wilfred Free, but they are without a doubt, warm as can be. Many of the jackets you’ll find are made of water-resistant material, have a removable vegan fur trim, are machine washable, and down-filled.
Lorne’s Coats
Lorne’s has been a staple in Toronto for decades and what’s great about Lorne’s is that it does one thing — sell coats — and it does it well. While the weather may dictate that you need a parka, often in Toronto it’s unnecessary if you’re a few minutes walk from the office. If you work in a typical office you need a business appropriate coat. Actually, we are going further than that everyone needs a dress coat, not just you office folks.
The North Face
Looking for a coat that’ll see you through the snowy season? You’ll want to get yourself into The North Face as soon as possible because in Toronto, you never know when winter will kickstart. If you think you need the heaviest jacket in the world to stay warm whilst outside, think again because The North Face has loads of coat options that are sleek, not bulky in the slightest, and won’t make you sacrifice warmth.
SOIA & KYO
If looking cute is just as important as staying warm, then you’ve come to the right place. SOIA & KYO has you covered with its well made and expertly designed outerwear that doesn’t skimp on the chic details. The brands sporty down-filled parkas are crazy warm, and the fit of the coat looks so high fashion! Not wanting to order online? Head to Square One to shop in person!
Vallier
A new label from Altitude Sports that’s out of Montreal is Vallier and it’s a name you’ll want to remember when shopping for all things winter weather. In addition to the ultra chic and warm parkas and down-filled jackets that the brand offers, make sure you layer up in one of its crewneck sweatshirts and sweaters for all the cozy vibes!
Value Village + Consignment Stores
If you’re looking for cheap and cheerful, Value Village and various secondhand shops around Toronto are always great to hit up. While considered “gently used” you can often find yourself a great unique jacket perfect for those who need more than one or two jackets to round out your style needs. Many great consignment stores have fabulous vintage designer coats that can help you stand out in a crowd. Going this route almost guarantees you won’t be standing next to someone in the exact same coat as you.
Winners & Marshalls
While it can be somewhat hit or miss, Winners and Marshalls are great options for the shopper looking to pick up a brand name winter coat without breaking the bank. The best part is that these stores restock merchandise frequently, so there’s a good chance you’ll score no matter when you go in to shop.
Joe Fresh
Joe Fresh is a great choice for the frugal shopper. If you’re in the market for a down-filled coat this is the place to go to grab one for under $200. These coats are crazy warm and will last multiple seasons so you really get a great bang for your buck.
Canada Goose
While definitely not cheap option, a Canada Goose jacket is well worth your buck if you’re looking to invest in a quality, made-in-Canada down jacket. Having been experts in luxury extreme weather outerwear since 1957, you can be guaranteed that the brands coats will last a lifetime and keep you warm in the chilliest winter temperatures. The brands newest collab is with luxury label Juun.J and it’s a collection that re-imagined four of its heritage pieces. Expect to see the same super warm jackets but with trendy exaggerated proportions and graphic silhouettes.
Nordstrom
If you’re looking for a place that has a TON of different styles to choose from, start your search at Nordstrom. Whether you’re looking for something functional or fashionable, the store has the best of both worlds, plus everything in between. Think quality Canadian brands, as well as other designer labels like Cole Haan and Ralph Lauren. Not to mention you can even enlist the help of a free stylist to help you find exactly what you’re looking for.
Patagonia
If you consider yourself an adventurer, you might want to check out Patagonia. The brand is all about functionality and durability at its best. The brands sporty yet chic jackets are perfect for those wishing to spend a lot of time doing activities outdoors this winter. Known for its lighter jackets that are compact, water resistant, and insulated, you’ll get all the warmth without feeling like the Michelin Man.
Pajar
Montreal-based Pajar makes jackets that are both stylish and warm, and when we say warm, we mean you won’t freeze, even when it’s -30C outside. There’s a reason why Pajar has been highly revered in the winter wear world, and its quality, innovative technology, and craftsmanship prove why.
Nobis
If you’re in the market for classic fitted silhouettes and functionality, then Nobis has your back.

Our friends at popular Montreal-based brand Pajar are looking to open its first two standalone stores this fall as the brand expands its operations to focus on a direct-to-consumer model.
Pajar is known for their high-quality boots and winter gear and is looking to use the two new standalone stores as a compliment to Pajar’s wholesale network.
Pajar rose to fame in the late 1980’s as their innovative “Zig-Zag” boot became the official book of the Canadian Alpine Ski team. TO this day the Pajar Canada Heritage Premium collection is manufactured in the same factory that founder Paul Golbert opened in Montreal in 1973. The popular boot’s design is carried out in many of Pajar’s current boots featuring 100% genuine sheepskin and are guaranteed to keep you warm in temperatures as low as -40°C, according to the company. If you shopped in our online shop earlier this year you were also introduced to Pajar’s extensive line of high-quality winter jackets. As quality is of paramount concern to Pajar, the winter jackets that espouse Canadiana are also made to the highest degree of attention to detail and quality.

According to Retail-Insider, the new stores will be located at Toronto’s Yorkdale Shopping Centre, with the second location popping up at Premium Outlets Montreal in Mirabel. The new Yorkdale location will space 1,340 square feet and will be housed in the former Nine-West location and will face stiff competition from outwear brands Canada Goose, Arc’teryx, Woolrich and retailers Sporting Life, Aritizia and Harry Rosen.
The new stores will act as a testing ground for Pajar’s new vision, and if successful will see the launch of permanent retail spaces.
