I love that its color is dressy and a subtle, softer shift from black.

(I own way too much black.)

Its just oversized enough that I can layer under it.

But this fitted jacket from J.Crew is deceptively cozy.

And Everlanes stately option ever so slightly modernizes the silhouette with an architectural collar and a hint of slouch.

I wanted wool so it would actually be warm, saysGlamoursenior visuals editorLauren Brown.

It keeps me warm even when the temperature is freezing.

Its oversized so I can layer achunky sweaterunderneath.

I love that the coat buttons up to make a giant turtleneck.

Everlane DoubleBreasted Coat in Wool

Its also a great length for petitesnot too long!

Also, in the color I got, I feel like it looks way more expensive than it is.

The camel hair is so soft and luxurious.

Everlane DoubleBreasted Coat in Wool

Its worth the price, and the color is gorgeous!

I also love the slouch fit, which looks effortless but not messy.

All in all, so perfect that I immediately ordered a second one in black.
