For some people, myself included, a coat is a coat. I’ll buy one new one a year (perhaps in black or brown), put it in my closet and hope that it gets cold enough to wear. But, for others, outerwear is the bread and butter of a Fall wardrobe. It adds pop, it adds color, and it can certainly be “the” accessory for that particular outfit.

Smyter Neck-Tie Coat

This coat takes the classic pea-coat to the next level with the addition of a silk tie to the top. I think if Jackie O were alive today she would rock this look. Just make sure you wear it with the right pants and top! Or, you could, as my mother would say, “look like an old lady!” This coat is black and cream wool with bracelet sleeves. It is $347.50 from theoutnet.

Vivienne Westwood Princess Cut Coat

If you’re looking to add some color to the otherwise drab, gloomy, and dreery Fall season, adding a pop of color with this coat would be a great option. This bright hued wool coat will catch everyone’s eye. It’s double breasted and has an over-sized lapel. It is $1,145 from Net-A-Porter.

Sonia by Sonia Rykiel Cotton Twill Mac

Hello there animal print…i love you.  Animal prints aren’t just for the faint of heart anymore. And this coat shows us why. It may be a bold choice, but why not transfer that bold new fashion sense you developed during the Summer season (remember…no rules!) to the Fall season? Everyone will applaud your fashion sense! This coat is $725 from Net-A-Porter.

Reason to Love Fall: Outerwear

So not fair!

My apologies to those of you still suffering in summer heat – we’re going to talk jackets today!

I love this new motorcyle jacket from Rock & Republic:

It’s their “Paice Washed Leather” jacket.

If leather isn’t quite your style, how about a lambswool melton jacket from L.A.M.B.?

I love that turquoise color!

And since I seem to be going with bolder colors today…

How about this merino wool jacket from Alexander McQueen?

jackets for a blustery day

Voila!  The classic, elegant wool trench coat.

I admit, it does have leopard print lining, but wouldn’t that look stunning on a blustery winter day?
