Monday Outlook: Double Breasted Outerwear

This past spring marked the return of double breasted suits and sport coats, featuring a mid-century style that was popular throughout this year's trends. Guess what everyone, they aren't going any where and will be evolving to fit the colder conditions.
A couple of weeks ago, I mentioned something about a trench coat and it needing to be in your closet. Well this piece is the quintessential double breasted outerwear piece, but you won't have to limit yourself to just this classic; you will be able to find your favorite parkas, car coats, name an outerwear piece, it'll be coming double breasted. Other than the added style a double breasted piece will give you, it will also add that little bit of fabric to keep you that much warmer.
If you already have classic outerwear in neutral shades like tan, grey, navy, or black, then its time to splurge on something a little more exciting (and double breasted). Get something featuring an eye-popping color or gritty plaid or the combination of both, and start working it into your outerwear rotation. If you don't have those classic backups, then you should take it nice and slow, get something that you'll be able to wear for plenty of winters to come.
Check in tomorrow for some exciting new tech and next Monday for further fashion insight into the coming months!
