I don't know how to call them, but they are like this:

I find them rather horrible, like a bloated trash bag, but... Are they hot? Because that seems to be my biggest problem. It's 7ยบ degrees in the street and I don't have a single winter top part
I bought a new coat in october, but has two issues: a), it's a bit too feminine, and b), it's too formal. On those days I've resorted to my old male coat, but it's far too painful too wear, and oversized now (and I had issues to fit there when I bought it.
I'm looking for something that can be used when I "downgrade" the presentation a bit, and that it can look ok when I am in andro / guy presentation. Just getting opinions on styles. Right noe I have my eye on this:

I tend to favor clothing which is tailored to the waist or can be zipped down there. Since I wear a 40/L due to my shoulders, everything straight will look oversized in the rest of my body. The problem is that it does not look too hot, but maybe that can solved with wearing something under it....

I call them "puffy coats" and I don't like them. I don't think they're really any warmer than other coats. I wear trench style coats. The wool ones are really warm and the belt tailors the waist. :)

I don't know how slim one should be to wear something like that. Some girls look more or less ok... if they have waist and their butt is in a good shape, so they still have some curves even after putting something terrible like that. But I hate this stuff!

I used to have a puffer jacket and it was warm, but not very waterproof. I have had this jacket for two years now and I love it. It's the best jacket I've ever owned and I wear it every day. They have a male version for ten pounds more but the only real difference is the purple zip.
It's light, very warm and holds it's shape fantastically.

I wear an airbag coat in winter. It is big and very comfortable, but not so much fashionable. Just for convenience and warming.

You can rock them if you are smart about it. They are more about functionality. Coming from a cold area these are held in high regard! they are toasty and can be cute.
