J.Crew has a whole crop of new Winter outerwear [1] to write home about. But when we talked to the brand's head stylist, Gayle Spannaus, she offered us some secret tricks and tips [2]. For example, there are two coats she considers to be totally unisex — and they're both right on trend for the season [3]. But Gayle also revealed the one jacket she'd personally invest in as a J.Crew customer, and she teased a new lavender [4] design that's coming to the site soon and sounds like a dream. Read on for some very trustworthy shopping recommendations and feel confident pulling out your credit card.
