Fashion Uniform: Double-Breasted Coat + Structured Crossbody + Easy Bottoms

In partnership with our friends at

A long weekend (at either end) is one thing that will help a sluggish midwinter workweek sail by. A feel-good office uniform is another. The jacket is as cozy as it is utilitarian, the buttons are all business, and the crossbody bag picks up any slack. Not that you’ll have any—it’s a smart fashion formula that leaves little to no room for error.
