    Braving the Cold – Without Sacrificing Style

    When the temperature drops, getting dressed can feel less like self-expression and more like survival. It’s easy to reach for the classic black puffer – dependable, timeless, and always practical. And while there’s absolutely nothing wrong with that winter staple, it can sometimes blend into the greyest of days.

    That’s where colour comes in.

    A rich blue, a soft mint tone, even a subtle pattern — small shifts like these can elevate not just your outfit, but your mood. On the coldest winter mornings, that lift can make all the difference.

    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.

    Modern Warmth Meets Minty Freshness

    Modern Warmth Meets Minty Freshness

    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:

    • Longline silhouette offers maximum warmth and coverage
    • Storm cuffs and a functional hood provide practical protection
    • Soft Vibes mint tones refresh classic winter neutrals

    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:

    • Aqua instantly brightens cloudy winter days
    • REPREVE® insulation offers warmth you can feel good about
    • Grey layers let the colour shine without overpowering

    Coat details:

    Water repellent, storm cuffs, double zipper, toggle hood, zipped pockets, interior pocket

    100% Polyester

    Why it works:

    • Tonal dressing always feels polished, even when casual
    • Featherless fill stays warm in damp conditions
    • Dusty blue pairs seamlessly with Soft Vibes’ cool palette

    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.

    • Easy to layer without overheating
