Personally, one of my favorite things about fall is the lazy, comfy dressing. Say what? But if you think about it (as I so clearly have), it makes perfect sense. In the summer, your clothes, the ones actually covering your body and making you not-naked are all the eye can see. In fall however, well: layers. Jeans + a tee-shirt are easily elevated to #lewk status by outerwear. And so, there you have it. A long-winded love letter to coats. Not convinced? Promise you will be when you see some of the gorgeous styles being served up this season. There are tons of trends to pick from and one (if not all) are sure to tempt.
