Next up are jackets and coats, of which there were a particularly good fashionable assortment at the NAS this year. Many of the silhouettes are fluid and boxy in order to accommodate oversized knitwear. Browse through all the colour options and check availability across petite and plus sizes. Note that sizes do come back into stock over the course of the two week sale so keep checking the items for your size.
Jackets
- Marc New York By Andrew Marc Front Zip Leather Jacket (Regular & Petite) (Online Only): This was one of the best leather jackets at the sale, especially in a petite size. Clean lines yet lots of detail. Not overly moto-esque. Please try this jacket if you're a petite.
- Caslon Drape Neck Zip Cardigan (Regular & Petite): A cozy and super soft topper that drapes with the best of them. Perfect for plane travel and excellent on petites in regular sizes.
- Theory 'Gabe B. 2' Jacket: A modern classic with high longevity. I have this jacket in ink blue and love it. The low stance is fashionable and the fit is ever so slightly fluid. Impeccable quality and gorgeous fabric. I travel on flights wearing this blazer and it stays looking crisp forever. A good investment piece if you're a blazer gal.
- Sejour Animal Jacquard Bomber Jacket (Plus Size): A super bomber jacket that's quite tailored when worn unzipped. Fab over dresses.
- Halogen Zip Front Leather Jacket (Regular & Petite): A good leather jacket for petite apple shaped body types. Lightweight.
- Jou Jou Faux Leather Moto Jacket (Juniors): An inexpensive and very distressed pleather piece just for fun.
- Halogen Suit Jacket (Regular & Petite): A fabulous fit on a very curry hourglass with a larger bust. Great side seam patch pocket detail.
- Halogen Zip Front Shimmer Finish Leather Jacket (Regular & Petite): Another excellent leather jacket for a petite apple shaped body type. The shimmer on the leather is for Team Magpie and very unique. Lightweight.
- Trouvé Trouvé Mixed Texture Jacket: A mixed media tuxedo jacket that works well over dresses.
- Two by Vince Camuto Collarless Faux Leather & Knit Moto Jacket: An unusual faux leather jacket. It's made of a fabric that's a little like neoprene but much softer. Very comfortable on the arms. It's suited to a longer torso.
- Two by Vince Camuto Collarless Mixed Media Moto Jacket (Plus Size): Here in plus sizes.
- Eileen Fisher Leather Sleeve Merino Lambswool Jacket (Regular & Petite): A brilliant sweater jacket, and a favourite with clients. Warm, arty and cozy. It runs big so size down one or two sizes. The back is very tailored. The brown is as nice as the charcoal.
- Eileen Fisher Leather Trim Merino Wool Jacket (Regular & Petite): Hard edge with a soft touch. The jacket looks amazing zipped up. It has a fab high-low hemline and is stunning on pear shapes, hourglasses and rectangles. Not good on a shorter neck.
- Halogen Knit Moto Jacket (Regular & Petite): If you're looking for a short, fitted and knitted moto jacket, this could be it. Very tailored.
- Collection B Plaid Baseball Jacket (Juniors): A stiff but fun inexpensive bomber jacket in a bold tartan.
- Diane von Furstenberg 'Theodora Leo' Leather Accent Jacket: An impeccably made piece in a gorgeous fabrication, which is why I was drawn to it right away. But it has a lot of intricate detail on the front and back, which was too much going on for my own style preferences. But it's beautiful and fits like a dream. Boxy yet streamlined.
- Michael Two-Tone Hooded Leather Jacket: A super little extra casual leather jacket with a tailored fit and hood. Fun.
- Halogen Zip Detail Leather Jacket: A good fit on a taller hourglass. Nice notched collar. Lightweight.
- Sam Edelman Zip Detail Moto Jacket: Another favourite leather jacket. Stunning colour and good fit on a tall gal with a long neck.
- Mackage 'Besa' Leather Moto Jacket: My third favourite leather jacket, and breathtaking on my client who wears earth tones to perfection. It's quite heavy though, but a good fit on a curvy hourglass.
- SMYTHE Leather Elbow Patch Houndstooth Jacket: An equestrian beauty with a high longevity factor that followed me home. The cognac elbow patches are fun, and the fit is gorgeously tailored. The back kicks out to a fun peplum. Impeccable quality. Runs one to two sizes small.
- Boss 'Jolia' Suiting Jacket: A short streamlined career wear blazer for an hourglass. Fun colour.
- Classiques Entier 'Larch' Tweed & Leather Jacket: Beautifully tailored, and looks as good unfastened. Works on petites.
- Rag & Bone/JEAN 'Chamberlain' Stand Collar Step Hem Jacket (Nordstrom Exclusive): A fitted utility jacket with lots of spunk. Extra fab on an hourglass.
- Trouvé Trouvé Sleeveless Wool Blend Jacket: This tuxedo gilet is for Team Tall, full stop. One of my tall clients wore this over a white tunic shirt with black cigarette pants and took my breath away. Runs big.
- Helmut Lang Hooded Front Zip Sweater Vest: A fashionable piece that's brilliant over a column of black. Great worn zipped and unzipped. Casual and fun.
Coats
- Trina Turk 'Nancy' Double Breasted Wool & Alpaca Blend Coat: A warm and heavy cocoon style that's best on a tall lass. A beautiful shade of cinnamon.
- Bernardo Packable Goose Down Hooded Walking Coat: A lightweight down puffer in a fitted silhouette. Good length.
- Pendleton Hooded Wool Blend Duffle Coat (Regular & Petite): A beautifully made classic toggle coat with a hood. The camel is as fab as the ink blue. Heavy and warm.

- Trina Turk 'Mackenzie' Asymmetric Zip Leather Trim Coat (Regular & Petite): A nice style on an hourglass or pear shape. Well made and quite warm.

- Elie Tahari 'Greece' Leather Sleeve Wool Coat: An elegant boxy man coat in a cool shade of mushroom. Broad shoulders are good for this style. Sleeves are very long but can be easily altered.

- Helene Berman Plaid Coat: Another fun Retro look with bracelet length sleeves. It's lightweight and boxy. Great for warm Winters.
