This applies most acutely to investment in a wool coat, with simplicity and elegance being the characteristics to look for. With its easy silhouette and dropped shoulders, this double-breasted coat in creme is out pick – it's a wardrobe stalwart that will live on forever.
While a classic breton striped knit comes in many different iterations, this fine knitted merino turtleneck stands out from the crowd. And it's all in the features, such as the extra long sleeves (ideal for colder spring days) and the accentuated seams.
