Forget sweater weather—we’re itching to get back into proper outerwear. To that end, this week spotlights a softly constructed balmacaan by PML, a supersized leopard print coat courtesy of Celine and a contemporary update to the English shooting jacket from Berg & Berg. But, as we’re not quite hitting those temperatures yet, you may want to ease back into layering with an English flannel shacket from Articles of Style or a brushed Shetland knit by Trunk. You know the drill.
