Wrap up this autumn and winter with sturdy longline coats.
It’s the wardrobe staple you want to count on. When you wrap yourself in your favourite autumn or winter coat, you’re looking to feel assured through wind, rain and other harsh conditions.
Of course, on days when it is really bucketing down, you’ll need to consider extra waterproof outerlayers or a really sturdy umbrella. To prep for showers, you might consider a rain hood – both Nancy Jill and Penny Sage have sweet options to peruse.
This collection showcases some excellent offerings from largely local labels for the coming chilly seasons.
