The Quest For the Perfect Coat Ends Here

Why we love it: Seen on the runway, the unfussy parka might be all fashion, but design details are still rooted in the style's practical DNA. Roomy with a cinched waist and traditionally with a hood, the new version looks cool while keeping you warm.

How to wear it: In early Fall, roll up the sleeves and throw it over your short-sleeved dresses and tees. When real Winter rolls around, wear it solo or layer it with sweaters and sweats for ultimate bundling.
