Here are two items that went down well with my clients last week. The one is a dressy, ladylike wool coat with bright gold trim. The other one’s a casual, masculine, military inspired jacket made of a waxed cotton that is machine washable. 

• Double Cloth Great Coat: A modern classic wool coat that’s warm and always looks chic. Absolutely gorgeous in the dark navy option. If I hadn’t just bought an ink blue coat, this would be a strong contender because of its crisp and versatile integrity. 

• Downtown Field Jacket: Perfect for mild Autumn and Winter weather in a casual setting. The hidden waist tab allows for some waist adjustment, although it’s still quite a boyish and boxy jacket. Both olive and navy colour options are fab. 

It’s fantastic to see coat and jacket options in colours and neutrals besides black and grey this season. My clients and I are rejoicing. Long may it last.
