1 THE BAND JACKET
2 THE VINYL
It’s official: Fall’s kinkiest trend is also the most desirable, because, you know, sex sells. You don’t have to go full-on with a whole suit (though this is Courrèges, SO WHY NOT?)—a topper with an otherwise basic outfit and a statement earring is more than enough.
3 THE BED JACKET
People in the olden days did weird stuff like wear hats and outerwear to bed, because no central heating, I guess? Regardless, this fur-trimmed Dolce & Gabbana makes dreaming while you’re awake that much easier.
4 THE BILL CUNNINGHAM TRIBUTE
With the OG street-style photographer’s passing this year, a utilitarian blue street-sweeper’s jacket has never held so much meaning.
5 THE OFF-THE-SHOULDER ZIP-UP/PUFFER
Call it the Balenciaga Effect—this season, heaps of people will attempt the rhinestone turtleneck with the red puffer jacket pulled down look. To that, we say go ahead!
6 THE VELVET BLAZER
Hard for dudes to pull off, thankfully the complete opposite for girls. In an ultra touchable fabric, the ho-hum blazer becomes loucher and chicer.
7 THE COLORFUL PERFECTO
Easy: black is good, orange (plush! Emilio Pucci!) is better. And if you’re having any difficulty justifying the purchase of any of the proceeding, just remember that you can wear a good coat over and over, *and* it allows you to wear the same underneath clothes over and over. Not that any of us would do that.
