It's about that time of year when coats are at the forefront of our minds—and wardrobes. Once the temps hit below 60°, you're basically wearing one from day to night—whether you're going from meetings to happy hours or out on a brisk walk or cozy date. It's the one item of clothing everyone sees first, and it will do everything in its power to provide you with comfort, warmth, and style.
