The Outerwear Edit: 5 Jackets & Coat Styles Every Canadian Closet Needs
As temperatures drop, it’s time to let your outerwear do the talking. Crisp fall afternoons call for lightweight layers, while colder days demand something a little cozier. The right jacket can absolutely pull an entire look together. Reitmans is highlighting five must-have styles for the season, each paired with an accessory to take the look one step further.
Look 1: The Transitional Layer
A quilted jacket is the perfect layer for unpredictable fall days. In rich hot fudge, this longline style features diamond stitching and a corduroy collar, adding simple yet thoughtful textures. Pair it with a matching faux-leather shoulder bag for an effortless, polished look.
Look 2: The Cropped Cutie
Not all great coats need to go the distance. With its cropped silhouette, structured shape and dramatic mock neckline, this Mock-Neck Coat makes a strong case for shorter outerwear. The high collar brings a contemporary edge, while a printed oblong scarf adds a playful touch of pattern.
Look 3: The Statement Classic
A classic coat with a little extra drama - this Long Jacket with Sash and Removable Faux Fur brings timeless sophistication. Wear it with the fur collar for a glamorous dressed-up look or remove it for a more understated finish. For a vintage-inspired twist, add decorative brooches to the lapel, proving that sometimes the smallest details make the biggest impact.
Look 4: The Going-Out Coat
Who says your coat can't be the main event? This long faux-fur coat makes a statement with its plush texture and deep brown hue. Perfect for dinner dates or a night on the town, it's the kind of piece that transforms even the simplest outfit. A structured faux-suede bowler bag adds a chic contrast to the coat's plush texture.
Look 5: The Colour Upgrade
Move over, classic neutrals! This season, outerwear is getting a colourful refresh and this long belted coat in a terracotta-ish shade is the perfect way to embrace it. With its tailored silhouette and waist-defining sash, it brings a fun twist to winter dressing. A chocolate-brown faux-leather bag with a sculptural tortoiseshell-inspired handle complements the coat, creating a sophisticated tonal look.
