the leaves have dropped, it's too cold to walk around nonchalantly with anything less than a thick knit sweater, and worst of all it's pitch black before there's even a chance to step outside. But for all its bleakness, winter can sort of be fun for the sheer fact that it's primetime coat season. While you could recycle the same coat from years past, if there's ever a time to splurge on a little something for youself, it's now. A great coat not only makes winter feel more bearable for the obvious reason of warmth, but it can also be that little ray of joy that makes getting dressed that much more satisfying.
