We are officially over a month into fall and today feels like the first time we might even consider reaching for a jacket. Hallelujah! It’s time to pull out those plush throw blankets and add a little pumpkin spice to your latte. There is nothing more comforting than leaning into the cozy spirit of the season. Absorbing the sounds, smells, tastes and feelings that make fall so special. Topping the list of great fall feels is the sensation of wrapping yourself in something cozy to warm up. This is where quality outerwear comes into play. Forget the stiff Paddington Bear coat you were forced to wear as a child. Today’s offerings are refreshingly soft and chic to boot.

In search of a coat that’s both cute and cozy, I scoured the market for outerwear that could do it all, accepting nothing less than something that feels like a hug on a crisp fall day.
