I think of a vest as one of those "nice to have" pieces in a classic wardrobe.

Once you own one, you'll probably find yourself reaching for it more often than you expected. It's perfect for layering during those in-between seasons when a full jacket feels like too much, but you need a bit of extra warmth. Whether it's on a morning walk with a warm cup of coffee or on a pumpkin-picking outing in the fall.

Layered over a button-down shirt or worn on its own, it has a way of making an outfit feel both polished and effortless.

One of the things I love about a cape or poncho is how effortlessly it can elevate a simple outfit.

A wool coat is beautiful, but there comes a point every winter when warmth is what we need.

That's why I recommend having a quality down jacket or parka as part of a classic wardrobe. It's the piece you'll reach for on those freezing mornings when staying warm is the priority. Here in New York City, a warm coat is game changing.

If you're building a classic wardrobe, a timeless wool coat is one of the best investments you can make. It's the layer you'll reach for all fall and winter, so choosing the right one makes getting dressed so much easier. I always recommend looking for at least 70% wool when possible and choosing a classic silhouette you'll wear for years. Here are some of my favorite wool coats to inspire your search.
