Now that the leaves are starting to change color and a cool breeze is sweeping into the climate, you’ll need to throw on a few extra layers before you leave the house. Depending on where you live, the layers may be on the heavier wool side, or on the lighter cotton side. Designers are providing plenty of fashionable cover up options, ranging from wool ponchos to faux fur hoodies and waterproof zip-ups.
A monochromatic grey pant and blouse paired with a beige wool wrap is a warm alternative to a traditional coat, shown at Elie Tahari (left). Looking for a replacement for the boyfriend blazer? Try an oversized, floor-length trench coat with a matching wide leather belt for an attention-grabbing option, shown at Jill Stuart (right).
