Last Updated November, 2017: This post has been updated with new selections for 2017.
Outerwear is an investment. Well-made coats and jackets are expensive; thankfully, much of the time you really get what you pay for. And good outerwear lasts. Classic styles — the arctic parka, the bomber jacket, the raincoat, the field jacket and the motorcycle jacket — eschew trends and will look stylish for decades to come. So play the long game, invest in something worthwhile, and every time you don your coat, know that it’s going to both do its job and look the part.
