How to choose
- Start with a trench or quilted jacket: it handles most fall days.
- Fine knits layer under coats without bulk; chunky knits stand alone.
- Camel, olive, burgundy and cream mix easily.
- Leather ankle boots work with dresses and denim.
- Add a cashmere or wool scarf as the temperature drops.
