Best Embroidered Design

Intricate embroidery makes for a monochromatic piece that’s anything but boring. Use it to punctuate an all-black or all-white outfit with some graphic flair.
Size Range: S-L
Colors: Ecru
Materials: 100% cotton
Best Gabardine Fomd
Max Mara Portici Jacket
A Gabardine coat (otherwise known as a trench) is a great everyday layer, and we love this non-traditional, collarless take on it from Max Mara. It’s lined with satin for a luxe finishing touch.

Colors: Cuoio
Materials: 100% cotton

Materials: 100% wool
Best Drop Shoulder Design
Isabel Marant Drogo Collarless Jacket
From the sharp cut to the drop shoulders, Isabel Marant’s take on the collarless jacket is more exciting than most. You’ll also appreciate the higher neck for some necessary wind protection.

Colors: Taupe
Materials: 69% wool, 26% polyamide, 5% other fibers
Best Option with Stitching
Rails Melanie Embroidered Jacket
High-contrast scalloped stitching is a sweet little detail that sets this otherwise simple piece apart. It has a wool-blend construction that should keep you warm, too.
Size Range: XXS-XL
Colors: Oatmeal
Materials: 51% wool, 49% polyester
Best Teddy Jacket
Everlane The Teddy Liner
Here’s a much chicer, more streamlined version of that ubiquitous teddy coat. A longer hemline designed to hit mid-thigh gives it an elevated feel.

Colors: Black, Navy, Heathered Oat
Materials: 100% recycled polyester
Best Collarless Chore Jacket
Sézane Freddy Jacket
Rounded hems and a boxy fit make this jacket an ideal piece of casual outerwear. Keep it simple with a plain tee and your favorite jeans; the moss green color is enough of a statement.
