As the autumnal chill sets in,

 a signal that the deep cold of

winter is not far behind,

it is time to consider

an inter-seasonal outerwear option.

…

The requirements:

an on-point, versatile outerwear statement maker

an autumn to winter transitional item

easy to style with other wardrobe pieces

 loose fit for layering choices

 unique details

  options for the ladies and the gents

…

The solution:

Et voila, the sleeveless coat!

Ticking all of the above and more.

Wear it ‘to bare arms’ or with sleeves.

…

A few choices to consider:
