Fall Looks for Work and Play: The Wool Coat

I confess to hidding many a fashion sin by pulling my favorite J.Crew wool coat over a terrible, horrible outfit. I belt it and act like there isn't a PJ top/ ugly old tee shirt underneath. I'm partial to J.Crew's wool coats because they offer great value for the price. Every season they feature stunning colors to perk up drab winter days. Here are a few of my favorite wool coats from this season to keep you cozy, stylish and hiding that threadbare tee from college while you run out to grab some milk.

1. Alexa Chung for Madwell, Plaid Passporter Coat, $298

2. J.Crew Icon Trench in wool cashmere, $325

3. Banana Republic Textured Coat, $225

4. Stella McCartney Wool Twill Coat, $2,085

5. Talbots Double-face wool Warp Coat, $349  (also available in petite and woman sizes)

6. J.Crew Double-cloth Metro Coat, $298 (shown in heather majestic purple)
