Recalibrating your sartorial arsenal to match the changing temperatures requires one (or seven) key additions to your wardrobe.

Autumn might come about at roughly the same time every year, but transitioning from summer’s climes to chillier ones is never a smooth process. Our wardrobes are required to play catch up while temperatures shift, gearing you up for milder leaf-strewn days and rain-drenched ones. Recalibrating your sartorial arsenal to match the changing temperatures and build a cohesive look requires a key addition to your wardrobe: a really useful jacket (or seven).

We meticulously design every piece that fills our collections and outerwear is no exception. We’re diligent about questioning the role and purpose something will have in your wardrobe, so our jackets and coats address different sartorial needs - from complementing a printed dress for a dinner with friends to wrapping you up in warmth when you’re bracing the cold for a weekend walk. Below we explore the women’s jackets and coats that are worth investing in now and wearing for years to come. Hint: they’re more than one-hit wonders, these are jackets that play multiple roles in your wardrobe, padding it out - literally and metaphorically - for the coming seasons.

1 : The Short Shearling Coat

The solution to styling dresses and high waistlines

Also known as the answer to dressing up everything from jeans to, well, dresses. Fashion’s love affair with luxuriously tactile pieces isn’t a flash in the pan; soft shearling, teddy-bear finishes, and smooth leather always find a home on Fashion Week runways.

Our Luxe Short Shearling Coat is an integral player in a plethora of trans-seasonal and fall looks. Crafted from soft sheepskin shearling, it celebrates a versatile cream or black colorway and a slightly cropped silhouette that falls to the perfect length to complement high-rise pants and jeans while also retaining the shape and cut of a dress.

2: The Swing-Shaped Military Coat
 

The work-to-weekend solution

While cropped jackets might have a part to play in trans-seasonal outfitting, the time comes when as much as we’d like to only celebrate shorter styles and lightweight layers, the weather has other ideas.

Lending your looks the same polished finish as a cropped military jacket but with a silhouette better suited to fall and winter’s chillier temperatures, our Italian Wool Military Swing Coat falls to a flattering swing silhouette that skims the tops of your knees and heroes a double-breasted front decorated with a series of military-inspired buttons.

While it elevates denim staples and more relaxed ones with ease, it’s a piece we’re partnering with tailored pants for both work and weekends instead. Build a look with color-matched styles for a tonal take or break up your ensemble with a classic check and knitwear.

3:  The Blazer-Coat Hybrid

The wear-with-everything solution

The cornerstone to any cold-weather-ready wardrobe worth its salt: a wear with (and to) everything solution. A blazer-coat hybrid is a must-have and the epitome of a trans-seasonal jacket. Intrinsically more casual by nature, our Wool-Blend Blazer Coat is the solution to rounding off a weekend-ready look and a workwear one, whether you’re getting your steps in on a brisk walk, enjoying a city break or bracing yourself for the morning rush hour. 

Instantly introducing a luxe finish to your fall and winter outfitting throughout the year’s coldest months, it features a trio of exterior pockets for small essentials and a series of contrasting Italian buttons through its double-breasted front that contrast with its butter colorway. Granting it sustainable credentials, the piece’s Italian wool-blend fabric is spun with over 50% recycled wool, saving the material from going to landfills and damaging the environment. 

Lock in extra warmth by turning up the collar to reveal the contrasting stripes on its underside and for a more casual finish, turn up the deep cuffs.

4: The 2-In-1 Everywear Jacket

The two-in-one investment piece

Leather jackets achieve multiple looks with a single investment, our Leather 2-In-1 Everywear Jacket is fitted with a detachable shearling collar that can be secured to add insulating warmth and add trans-seasonal mileage to your investment.

Crafted from butter-soft Napa leather in our caviar colorway and shaped to a relaxed fit to easily slot in alongside fall and winter’s chunkiest knits and layers, it’s an intelligently designed outerwear essential.

Throughout the week, team it with insulting knits with wide sleeves that are easily accommodated by the arm openings. In the evening, slip it on over mini dresses and tights and introduce it to your workdrobe when you team it with a classic white shirt and tailored pants.

5: The Shearling Jacket

The solution to elevating classic pairings

You might automatically picture shearling with a natural curl, but it can also hero an almost fur-like texture as seen on our Luxe Shearling Short Coat. With a contemporary-meets-vintage aesthetic, it’s shaped to a classic long-sleeved silhouette topped with an exaggerated collar. From wide-leg man pants and tapered ones to jeans and dresses, it instantly elevates your quotidian go-to’s, breathing new life into your favorite staples while introducing a rich khaki hue to your cold-weather outfitting. 

At the sides, functional pockets keep small essentials safe or your hands warm whether you’re styling it with tailoring for a luxe office-leaning look or relaxed sweatpants and a soft knit when the weekend arrives.

6: The Tux Jacket

The essential eveningwear solution

The origin of the Tuxedo stretches back to the 1800s and London’s Savile Row. Edward VII asked for a jacket to be made for him that was more relaxed than traditional dinner tails. Another customer who was visiting from the States saw the design, ordered his own and returned with it to his home outside New York in Tuxedo Park - hence the name tux in the States. While we might have different words for the style on either side of the Pond, the design is the same.

Our iterations take on the form of elegant jackets. Our Velvet Bracelet Sleeve Sharp Blazers in black and an inky blue are crafted from Italian velvet with a luxe tactility and neatly structured silhouette. 

The final touch to a plethora of eveningwear looks, they can be styled alongside wide-leg pants and slim-crop ones in the same hue broken up by classic white shirting or silky blouses.

7: The Velvet Blazer

The AM—PM Solution

Complementing your pick of autumn and winter looks with its rich pecan hue and tactile velvet fabrication, our Satin Trim Velvet Blazer is a rich AM-PM solution.

Celebrating a slim silhouette, it falls in a flatteringly fitted drape over your frame and is complemented by satin trims. Boasting a slightly cropped cut, our Italian Short Velvet Boyfriend Blazer is crafted in the same luxurious fabric but in a bold Kingfisher Blue colorway that brightens occasionwear and office suiting in one step. Play with textures when you slip either of these styles on paired with either casual, everyday knitwear and denim or eveningwear-appropriate printed dresses or office-bound tailoring, signing off your look with one more texture: our Patent Leather Mid Heel or Knee-High Stretch Leather Boot.
