Across Canada, Winter Isn’t One-Size-Fits-All
Depending on where you are in the country, “cold” can mean very different things. In Alberta, winter dressing often requires a strategic approach: thermal layers, insulating knits, and coats built for true sub-zero temperatures. In BC, winter tends to be milder – cool and damp rather than deeply frozen — allowing room for lighter layers and more versatile outerwear.
That’s why each year, Olsen curates an edited and intentional assortment of outerwear shaped by customer feedback, best sellers, and real-life cold-weather needs. This year’s lineup – now on sale – delivers warmth, thoughtful details, and a refreshing dose of colour.
This longline grey puffer is winter dressing at its smartest. Subtle allover sheen adds polish, while the featherless fill mimics the softness and loft of natural down – performing beautifully even in wet conditions.
Styled with a mint textured knit and coordinating scarf from the Soft Vibes collection, the look shows how a touch of colour can brighten even the chilliest January day. Grey corduroy pants and neutral boots ground the palette, keeping it soft, modern, and wearable.
Why it works:
Coat details:
Featherless down alternative, side seam zipped vents, storm cuffs, 2-way zipper, toggle drawstring hood, interior pocket
100% Polyamide
Sustainable Warmth in a Mood-Boosting Hue
When winter feels endless, a burst of colour can go a long way. This light aqua hooded puffer is crafted with REPREVE® – the world’s leading recycled fibre made from plastic bottles – offering cozy warmth with a more sustainable edge.
Paired with soft greys from the Soft Vibes collection, the look feels crisp, clean, and quietly cheerful. A tonal fringed scarf adds texture, while charcoal pants and grey suede boots keep the outfit balanced and polished.
Why it works:
Coat details:
Water repellent, storm cuffs, double zipper, toggle hood, zipped pockets, interior pocket
100% Polyester
For lovers of cool, calming colour palettes, this dusty blue puffer is a winter essential. Designed with a featherless down alternative, it delivers lightweight warmth with the softness and loft you expect — without the bulk.
Styled with tonal blue layers from the Soft Vibes collection, the result is a frosty, modern monochrome look. Baby-blue accessories add depth, while mid-wash denim keeps it relaxed and effortlessly wearable.
Why it works:
Coat details:
Featherless insulation, removable hood, double zipper, zipped pockets, interior pocket
100% Polyamide
For the West Coast: Cozy Layers Without the Bulk
Not every winter calls for a heavy puffer. Along the West Coast, where temperatures are milder and snow is less frequent, outerwear needs to offer warmth without weight and comfort without over-layering.
Olsen’s non-puffer styles are designed with this balance in mind — offering cozy insulation, thoughtful detailing, and polished versatility ideal for BC’s cool, damp days.
