STUNNING Modern Retro boiled wool cocoon coat if you like Chartreuse. Works best on a long neck because of the funnel collar and neck tie. Slit sleeves can be turned back for an extra retro affect. Does not crease. Very comfortable for driving. Oversized in the torso and sleeves, and looks best that way. Tapers at the hem for structure, with fabulous side-entry pockets.

Fabulous cocoon anorak in a sour shade of olive. Voluminous yet structured in all the right places. It's lightly quilted so will work for Fall or a mild Winter. Roomy in the sleeves so great over chunky knitwear. Cosy and trendy. AMAZING dramatic funnel neck and faux fur trim. Will not work on a short neck unless you fold down the collar.

Due to a laundry malfunction, I unexpectedly needed to replace a short navy puffer jacket (a workhorse wardrobe essential for my style). This is what I chose because it fits well, layers well under coats, is water repellent, has gold hardware, looks dressier than an athletic puffer, is well made, AND half of it consists of recycled polyester. Zara is a more sustainable retailer than you might expect, and a much more affordable one. This cost $50. Furthermore, my other Zara jackets are 5 and 8 years old and look great. Zara might not do fab quality knits, but they generally make well-made woven jackets. Keeping these jackets for longer because of superior quality is sustainable too. The fit is on the narrower side, and goes up to an XXL. Gorgeous rich shade of navy.

KILLER STUNNING short wool classic jacket. The finish and quality are absolutely SUBLIME, and the best I have ever seen. The underside of the collar is trimmed with contrast velvet and extremely luxe. A true quality piece, and beautifully made. Fun micro polka dot lining too. Tailored and quite narrow. The US2 fits like a US0. Comes in red and navy. The avocado green earned a place in my wardrobe. It is a magical perfect fit. I'm very much enjoying the playful shorter length of the jacket because it works well with roomier bottoms, and is less traditional than a regular length blazer. Can work well into Spring.

Very well made little fun rainproof parka that filled my wardrobe hole. I needed a short lightweight raincoat for Summer drizzle, and this fits the bill. I LOVE the retro swing silhouette and colour. It's best worn VERY fluidly like on the model. The brown buttons are attached to twirl tape which is a unique design feature. The hood isn't too big, and lies very neatly on the neck or on the head. It has a secret pocket on the inside lining for valuables. It's already a workhorse because I wear it in sunshine too. Looks nautical and is fab with blues and whites. Comes in olive.

Best bouclé at the sale. Bolder in person and super soft. The length is sublimely flattering and the shawl collar unique. The weave of the bouclé is tight and feels substantial. Roomy sleeves and great over all sorts of layers. Chanel-esque.

Best boxy jacket at the sale. Faux leather with teddy bear lining is cosy, fun to wear, and warm. Good length and fab side entry pockets. The fit is STRAIGHT and very fluid, so you have to be okay with that. It does not overwhelm a small frame, and you have to love red to commit to it.

The best short fitted puffer I've seen all year. Glitzy, chic and dressy. Not sporty. It's Zara but very well made. The black piping detailing is SUPERB, the chevron quilting is awfully slimming, and the cut on the funnel neck is architectural. Long necks pull off this style best. The red is less bright in person. More fire engine than tomato. Comes in four colours. The toffee is hanging in my coat closet. I LOVE it.

A tailored and short denim jacket with embellishment is a nice update for Team Denim Jacket. Although the embellishment is trendy, the fit is modern classic which makes the look go the distance. Works on various body types. Soft and stretchy. The embroidery is stitched with care and precision.
