If you want a coat that will last you for more than one season, it is worth spending a little more money. If you want to have a few fashionable coats you can go with a lesser quality. However if you want your winter coat to last for several seasons, you should invest in a higher quality coat. A high quality coat will have a stronger stitching and lining and be designed of sturdy materials.
Do I want a trendy or timeless look?

A trendy coat that is all the rage that season will be more expensive. If you are on a strict budget, you might want to invest in a classic timeless look that can also last for several seasons if need be.
Do I want to blend in? Or make a statement?

A black or neutral colored coat is always a good idea. However, you may want to have a variety of color combinations. If you want to add some flair to your wardrobe, a red coat always makes a statement. There are also some gorgeous plaid or fur (faux or real) winter coats for women. You can express your personality through your choice of coat. If you want a basic color or black coat for everyday wear, perhaps purchase a bolder color to make a statement when you go out on the town.
If you wish to make a statement with a more practical neutral coat, you can always dress it up with a stylish hat, colorful scarf or even a gorgeous pair of statement earrings. There are plenty of ways to add flair to your everyday look.

Do you live in colder environments? are you the type that gets cold very easily? Do you have a long outdoor commute? Or will you be in a car, bus or train the most of the time?
If you will be a heated environment for the majority of the time you will be wearing the coat, you will want a more lightweight coat. However, if you are exposed to the elements, you will want a thicker, heavier coat to keep you warm.
What will be the main function of my winter coat?

Do you need a practical winter coat? Are you going to be sitting down while wearing it? Commuting on train or bus? Perhaps biking? Is this coat mainly for work or social outings?
It is important to consider the main purpose of your coat. It needs to be both comfortable and functional (and stylish is always a plus!). You also need to consider if you will be wearing light or heavyweight clothes such as jackets or sweaters underneath your coat. You need to remember to account for bulky clothes when you are purchasing your winter coat.
