What kind of winter coat should I take to Germany?
I am going to be an exchange student in Germany next year for a whole year. I need to buy a new winter coat that will keep me warm through the super cold winter and I want suggestions. What kind of winterwear do German teenagers wear? I care a lot about fashion as well. Does anyone have any suggestions about good brand names?

Not sure of the brand name, but a traditional burka should serve you well.

German people wear jeans and top like americans or english people, the winters arent that cold, but public transport is so reliable and so warm in the winter, a heavy jacket would do in the winter

Depends where and when you're going. If you are going to be hiking in mountainous area, I would take a thick windbreaker with a fleece inside, and one with animal fur around the edges of the hood to keep you face warm (Real animal fur is much more expensive but really helps!). Otherwise, you can take any well insulated coat. Once it gets cold, the style really doesn't matter. Keeping you fingers turns into a higher priority than trying to look cute. Trust me. :)

I wouldn't buy a parka unless your going to stay in the mountains or country. A regular winter coat you would wear here will work.Maybe one of those pea coats. You can always wear a sweater or hoodie underneath it also. It's a cute look and you'll stay warm.

it really depends on region you are planning to go. there can be easily minus degrees. so lot of people wear down jackets/coats or woolen coats. and its not about the looks if its freeeeeezing!
