Fresh Coats

Minnesota’s chilly climate is good for at least one thing: building a coat collection. This fall, sink into sumptuous fabrics and thoughtful details.

In the Trenches

A classic hard-lined wool trench is softened by its luxe fur collar. A timeless investment piece.

Military Flair

Smart gold buttons and military pockets are balanced by a full, flowing skirt. A classic masculine-feminine mix.

Biker Chic

Add this vintage-Italian-inspired racing jacket to cropped pants for a French twist, or pair it with, well, anything else in your wardrobe. The best part: The more you wear it, the better it looks.

Monza racing jacket, $595, from J. Crew Collection, jcrew.com

 

So Plush

The oversized plush collar zips up to double as a cozy muffler when the wind starts howling. The asymmetrical zipper is so now and very slimming.
