These Under-$150 Amazon Coats Are the "Upper East Side Coat" 2.0
We all know that coat. Yes, I’m clearly talking about the runaway Amazon hit New York magazine initially wrote about in an article detailing "The Unlikely Tale of a $140 Amazon Coat That’s Taken Over the Upper East Side.” Since the release of this viral piece, you’d be hard-pressed not to spot the affordable yet directional Orolay stunner on somebody in your city (whether that be in NYC or not).
While the coat nearly sold out last season, the puffer is back in stock. So if you didn’t add it to your cart the first go around, now is your chance before winter really hits. But interestingly, there are also a few other under-$150 jackets on Amazon—some also made by Orolay—that are definitely worth a test as well to bring an elevated spin to your cold-weather game. Ahead, we rounded up a range of these styles, along with an edit of other fashionable pea coats, bombers, and more.
Keep scrolling to shop our favorite cheap coats on Amazon—but you better act fast and snag your favorite before everyone else does.
Here’s the viral Amazon coat in all its glory with the asymmetrical cut, side zippers, and furry lining.
This puffer-style cape-coat hybrid is destined to become famous with its fashion-forward cloak design and functional details like the oblique placket and hood.
The A-line design and contrasting orange piping bring a chic spin to this practical (ahem, warm) winter coat.
A slightly updated take on the viral hit featuring an adjustable drawstring hood, interior-waisted drawstring for a perfect fit, side zippers, and two big side pockets.
Toss this sleek plaid coat over just about any outfit for a sophisticated vibe.
With the ability to pack into a pouch, this fashion-forward leopard coat is as functional and fashionable as it gets.
A checked long topcoat is inherently polished—perfect for that 9-to-5 and 5-to-9 life.
Make an instant statement with this vibrant red coat in a very-right-now bomber length.
The belt detail elevates this stylish double-breasted coat even more.
Beat that nasty winter weather with this pretty yet water-resistant packable puffer jacket.
This shearling bomber seriously looks way more expensive than it actually is.
A vest is especially ideal with a chunky sweater for those in-between temperatures.
If you don’t have a classic black peacoat in your arsenal, now is the time. The beauty of this pick is that it also comes with a coordinating scarf.
A faux-fur leopard coat is never a bad idea to stay warm (and nab a compliment… or seven).
A longer utility cool paired with an all-black fit will feel so "downtown.”
Take your off-duty game to that cool next level with this on-trend camo parka.
Wrap yourself in this furry draped silhouette for extreme comfort.
A packable lightweight puffer is ideal on its own or to layer underneath a thicker wool coat.
This is not your average black puffer with the high stand collar and faux-fur trim.
