These jackets will make you both the coolest and the warmest person at brunch.

It’s the time of year to find yourself some good outerwear. In many ways, it is a calibre of insistent warmth — of dependable wool and delicate cashmere, of jackets that make you feel as though

Whatever outerwear you need, swaddle yourself in these cosy options selected by fashion assistant and stylist Annabel Dickson. There are relaxed hybrid shirts that you can throw on easily over jeans and a cardigan, a chic shearling number that doubles down on the sleek-outside-fuzzy-inside formula, and an abbreviated coat that would go great with a belt.
