The Winter Coat Update
Thinking about outerwear before it’s a weather-backed necessity may seem overzealous, but take too long and you’re literally left out in the cold. Here, of-the-moment takes on six classic styles that are always a good idea.
CAPE
As dramatic as it is, at its core, a cape coat is a structured, beautifully finished wearable blanket. The fluidity adapts particularly well to forward-thinking pieces: cropped culottes, brimmed hats, quirky loafers.

Tailored and minimal, the borrowed-from-the-boys overcoat is fail-proof for countering feminine staples—though we’re especially into pairing it with equally masculine basics and finishing with a scarf.

Puffer
Arguably the biggest takeaway from fashion week (both on the runways and off), the down jacket has been reintroduced in a number of new shapes, without losing any of its practical attributes—mainly, warmth. Styling-wise, proportion play is the ticket: Stick to pants that are slim through the leg and boots that are a bit more substantial.

WRAP COAT
Like clockwork, this slouchy shape comes around every fall—and for good reason: The self-belt carves out a waist regardless of layers. Maximize on the retro influences and team with a flowing hemline or over-the-knee boots (or both!).
