Dana Richardson-Blewett doesn’t know how many vintage coats she has in her collection. “I stopped counting once I reached 108,” she laughs from her home in Toronto. “I just can’t tell anymore because there are way too many.” And indeed there are. As the owner of two businesses that sell and rent vintage clothing (Victory […]

It’s hard for me to pinpoint the exact moment I began to covet the downy softness of faux shearling sweaters. But sometime within the last year my aesthetic preferences have begun to shift from “gothic grandma” towards “overgrown, life-size teddy bear.” Lately, I dream of swaddling myself in soft, nubby fleece and drifting through life […]

Or jump to trend: QUILTED LEATHER | OVERSIZED | DOUBLE BREASTED | SHEARLING | LEOPARD PRINT | SHORT PUFFER | WET-LOOK TRENCH

When it comes time to bundle up, our selection of fall’s best outerwear will keep you chic in the chill. We’ve selected seven of their favourite trends from the fall runways and found 40+ coats that will not only keep you warm, but also keep you in style. We saw Celine supersize the cuts on their coats as did Acne, Ralph Lauren created a leopard print throwback to Edie Sedgwick and Gucci made a cape that was so stylin’ that nobody would dare make a superhero joke. Coats have the ability to make an outfit feel completely different. If you toss on a quilted leather jacket you’ll feel like a Balenciaga babe and if you opt for a wet-look trench, you’ll be feeling mod. Coats are adaptable and can make your closet seem brand new even if you’ve worn everything a thousand times. And if you’re feeling like you need a little help pulling together fall looks from head to toe, check out our trends guide.

This snappy baseball jacket from H&M ($80, hm.com) hits on the season’s athletic trend (mesh vests at Alexander Wang, slouchy jerseys at Isabel Marant and exaggerated ball caps at Kenzo). Its striking gold and burgundy colour combo and shrunken shape will keep you looking like an all-star all season long.

The jump from mere popularity to timelessness is a big one, and very rarely does an item cross the gap. The few styles that have become truly timeless (take jeans and the classic white T, for example) usually aren’t solely owned by one brand. The little black jacket, on the other hand, has one very famous creator: Chanel.

To celebrate almost 60 years of LBJs, Karl Lagerfeld and Carine Roitfeld have collaborated on the book The Little Black Jacket: Chanel’s Classic Revisited, which will be released this fall. The book features over 100 images of 109 celebrities, ranging from Monégasque royalty Charlotte Casiraghi to rapper Kanye West, all styled by Carine Roitfeld in Chanel LBJs.

The race is on to find this season’s most sleek, athletic-inspired pieces. “Sport was touched on in almost every collection,” says Nicholas Mellamphy, creative director of The Room at the Bay. He points to Anthony Vaccarello’s use of tech fabrics and utility details, Antonio Berardi’s strong colour and stripe detailing, Yves Saint Laurent’s “sporty but elegant” eveningwear jumpsuits and J. Mendel’s play on the old-school sports jersey. The question is: Can sporty wear be made office-appropriate? Mellamphy laces up to give us a pep talk.
