If this winter is anywhere near as harsh as last year’s, you’ll need an extra-warm coat (or two) to get you through. But instead of going for a baggy option in black or gray, try a chic style in a happy color that’ll lift your mood during the bleakest months.

The Cut searched far and wide to find 30 cool coats in every color imaginable — from lilacs to bold cobalt blue, to bright purples and a few lipstick reds — that will help you stand out from the pack (and avoid the winter doldrums). Click through our slideshow to see the entire coat rainbow.
