ON THE OUTS
Fall 2011 Outwear Trends
While we may not want to think about it, fall is just around the corner, which means another chilly Canadian winter will sadly soon be upon us. Here our top topper picks for Fall 2011:
1. The Swing Coat. Spotted on many of the runways for fall fashions, the cape silhouette is simply a must-have addition to any closet. Add a little flair by steering away from the usual blacks and whites, and opt for another neutral – camel – with this jacket. Coat, $498 USD, Anthropologie, available at Anthropologie.
2. The Ski Bum. Combat the bone-chilling weather with this heavy-duty coat. With this down-filled jacket, you won’t need much more than a t-shirt on underneath, even on the coldest of days. Coat, $995CND, Kodiak, available at SSENSE.
3. The Dame. Who says outerwear has to be clunky and boring? Feel sleek this winter with this edgy wool coat and its leather accents. The “Edna,” $570 CDN, Mackage, available online.
4. The Military Trench. In cities such as Paris and New York rain seems to follow closely with the arrival of fall. Take cover with this fully lined and affordable trench. Trench, $168USD, London Fog, available at Nordstrom .
5. The Minimalist. Take rainwear to a new level with this slim-fitting and minimalist coat. Trench, $340USD, Ali Ro, available at Neiman Marcus.
