A useful maxim to consider when getting dressed: there is no such thing as bad weather, only unsuitable clothing. Anyone who already adheres to that wisdom is probably also a fan of Canada Goose. And everyone else? Well, presumably they’re comfortable with ‘bad weather’.

Founded in Toronto in 1957, Canada Goose owes its expertise to the world directly around it. In coming up with clever solutions to address the infamously harsh Canadian winters, as well as field-testing designs in some of the most extreme places on earth, the brand has gone from humble roots in a small warehouse to one of the world’s leading manufacturers of luxury performance apparel. Fast-forward to today and Canada Goose has become globally synonymous with function-first coats that work just as hard for leisurely weekend shopping expeditions as they do for scaling Mount Everest. A-list followers are many, with Nicole Kidman, Rihanna and Jennifer Lopez just a handful of the brand’s high-profile fans; as are so many pioneering scientists and explorers around the world, who often have to work in sub-zero temperatures and challenging climes. Which is why today’s product offerings include designs that are intended for everyday usage and those that are specifically made to cope with extreme-weather conditions.

Canada Goose resonates with fearless women who are interested in style as much as practicality.

Whatever the requirements, Canada Goose’s design innovations are intended to maximize comfort and fit for modern adventurers – using ingenious fabrics such as Ventera, a luxurious and durable material with a soft-to-the-touch finish that is water-repellent and wind-resistant. Or there’s Lumina, which has the same water- and wind-defying qualities, only with a subtle sheen finish. Other clever design details include recessed rib-knit cuffs that help to lock in heat, adaptable hoods, and useful backpack straps for easier movement and extra versatility.

Among the brand’s diverse following, Canada Goose resonates with fearless women who are interested in style as much as practicality. Which is why the brand has achieved its luxurious, investment-worthy status – and why it never pursues function at the expense of form. Because, with Canada Goose, you can have both.

Most importantly, the pragmatism and technicality of every Canada Goose piece is matched by handsome design credentials. This enables the brand’s forever-stylish parkas and puffers to not only endure extreme temperatures, but also the winds of changing trends and the ever particular demands of the modern metropolitan closet. This season, you’ll find pared-back lines and a minimal, soft palette of neutrals – such as black, white, stone-gray and sage-green. Chevron padding, shawl hoods and nipped-in, belted waists are the kind of considered details that will make this season’s coats, jackets and gilets slip seamlessly into your daily life and beyond – as investment pieces that you can cherish and appreciate forever.

Ultimately, there really is no reason to limit Canada Goose to off-duty outdoor pursuits. The quiet, down-to-earth sophistication of the brand’s cold-weather collections means that every piece looks just as good with formal workwear as it does with a more refined after-dark wardrobe. Best of all, though, with Canada Goose, you can chill out in wonderful warmth, without worrying about the weather… because you can’t choose that – but you can choose your coat.
