A high-quality coat or jacket is a must for the winter—even here in the South—and it’s always important to have a solid staple piece that can match most outfits and occasions. Once you’ve got that staple on lock, have some fun and adventure into outerwear with unique patterns, textures, and details. Check out these picks from fashion editor Ashley Brister to stay warm for chilly days this season.
