The quilted coat is the perfect fall transition piece. It is packable, and lightweight but still delivers enough warmth during those in-between fall weather days.

This coat is a combination of two classics: the trench coat and the long duster coat. Its heavy material is perfect for the season, and it adds elegance to any outfit. Look for a slimmer cut so you don’t drown in the fabric. Focus on accentuating the length of the coat and play with your proportions by pairing it with something elongating, like high-waisted jeans, underneath.

A wrap coat is generally something that doesn’t have snaps or button closures so when you wear it open, there’s no distracting hardware to take away from your outfit. The best part about a belted coat is that you can adjust to the temperature, whether you want to be more bundled up on those cold windy days or wear it a bit looser while you’re on your commute to work.
SHOP: Vero Moda Fortune Long Wrap Jacket; $57.89 at The Bay
We’ve been seeing the lug sole boot grow in popularity over the last few seasons, mainly in the shorter Chelsea style. But this season, it’s all about the tall lug boot. It still features that beloved comfy sole that provides great traction for the colder months. We love seeing more colour options pop up like taupe, beige and off-white.
SHOP: High-knee Boots; $84.99 at H&M
We all love a good classic tall leather boot but if you find a pointy-toe boot is too narrow for you, this trend is a must-try. Look for a squared heel for extra support and balance.
SHOP: Heeled Knee High Boots; $99.90 at Zara
A major throwback to the 70s and 80s, these platform heels are everywhere this season. We love that they combine fashion with practicality. They are super sturdy and comfortable enough to wear all day long.
